Alright...I'm back (been back a couple weeks).
It was a good time, not only the vacation itself, but mainly being able to hang out with my good buddy...it had been way too long.
Also met up with an old high school buddy. Kinda crazy...even after almost 30 years, it was like old times!
Anyway, back to the regular scheduled program...
I have finally gotten over a major hurdle. The guns...the tiny, tiny guns.
Very tedious, frustrating, and made me not want to play at the bench.
1st set are quads....50 individual pieces, each.
..and the twins, at 33 pieces each...
There is also 22 single 20mm guns. I pretty much built those in place, on the model. Too damn tiny and delicate...I know I would have destroyed at least a few of them, if they were installed after building.
As she stands now...

That is incredible work. On something that small, I can not imagine 50 parts per. Yikes!

You can say that again. That is incredibly intricate.

That's just insane - 50 pieces?!? Each????
Superb work Fermis - and I don't know where you took those exterior pictures (I assume your porch?) but what a stunning location - that woodland looks beautiful.

Fermis, I bow in the presence of greatness!!
Stunning work on those tiny guns. I work with tiny all the time but even I would be mentally and emotionally challenged (More than currently challenged that is!) if I had to do those. I commend you on your patience, persistence and loony state of mind that enabled you to get through that!

If not for him, I'm sure I would have lost my mind, and punched something stupid!
