Nice diecast cars. Between my diecast tractors on shelves in the living room and my ship and airplane models etc. on shelves in the bedroom, it drives my wife nuts! And I have another diecast Navy jet coming in the mail in a few days. I dust them with a little paint brush. I have given some of them away to make room for new ones. That work in progress looks very challenging. I have never attempted wooden models, just the plastic kind but as I have gotten older I don't build many anymore. My diecast models are mostly from Ertl, Spec Cast and Hobby Master.

Wow. My dad built balsawood planes. A ship seems pretty similar, at first glance. Good luck.

I didn't realize there were other hobbies besides collecting guns and reloading ammo.

Thanks for enlightening me ;)
