More some where more recent builds over the past 3-4 years before daughter was born, others from 20-25 years ago that may have recieved a facelift.

Nice set up, beautiful collection. Nice way you put some backdrop stuff in there. Too bad the Sherman DD is hiding behind the PBR. None of mine have the fancy blue ribbons. Shows your level of dedication.
What scale is the blackhawk?
Why going into storage?

Thanks
Thanks for the compliments, I've been working on models since I was a kid. We are making room for a second child so storage may be the only option unless we can wiggle more furniture around. The blackhawk is 1/35th Academy if I remember correctly. It was my first large scale aircraft. I like tanks so if you screw up you can just put mud on it and all is good. The judges noticed a small fingerprint on the glass on the underside of the cockpit otherwise it would have won best in show.

RE: Thanks
That it is some seriously good looking work. I have tried building models at several points in my life with the same results, the only things I can glue together are my fingers.
Good job.

RE: Thanks
Very nice thanks for sharing them. Storage may be a wise option having four kids has taken a toll on many of my models.

Wow.
Good grief !!!
If I could pull that kind of money for models I would, but my skills are no where near that of Verlinden. I can't imagine buying a model for the same price as an actual truck. Check his sold items someone paid $1000 bucks for a truck/tractor 
I get attached to my models but I may be able to part with some of them now that I think of it. His reputation probably sells them as much as his actual work.
Armyman, I can remember back when I was probably 9 or 10 my Dad was out and me and a friend were playing in the family room and I threw a pillow and wiped out his CCKW on the TV set. Boy did I ever dread him coming home to see that. I cried my eyes out thinking that he was gonna whip me but he didn't
