A very fine collection. I particularly like the view from the patio!
To make each build less crappy than the last one. Or, put another way, "Better than the last one, not as good as the next one!"..

Most impressive! I have built almost every 1/72 scale aircraft kit that you have too and I love seeing how much better you did on yours. What great memories you've brought back for me. Way to go. Looking forward to seeing more!

I am always impressed by your models Yamato. Brush-painting skills like yours are amazing... bravo, bravo! And the beautiful scenery in the background doesn't hurt either. Great looking models always!
