Milestone Achieved, Ready for Inspection

[Stuart]

So you got to 1000 yet?

[Duke Maddog]

Thank you Stuart! I appreciate your compliments! I figured you'd like the British vehicles. And no, I haven't made it to 1000.......yet.

Thank you Carlos! To be honest, no dusting was needed; these were all still in tubs so they remained clean. Even the ones I had out all this time were surprisingly clean. The longest time was the repairs; I had at least 25-30 models to fix, along with the additional repairs I had to do when I broke some while I was setting them up! I still have a small jar of parts to add to those models, but I held off since this was only going to be up for a couple days. If I'd had considerable more time I would have been more thorough with the repairs.

Thank you Steve! It is indeed quite an accomplishment, a lifelong achievement.

Thank you John Kdog!

Thank you Cbaltrin! I'm pretty amazed myself when I look at all these.

Thank you Lyle! As to your question, the aircraft are still on the shelves or the ceiling of my Hobby Room. There's no place to bring them out on display, much less any way to transport 478 aircraft in any manner that would keep them intact. I'd need a warehouse and I don't have one.

Thank you Shane, those models of yours are beautiful! You sure surpass me in quality, so those are nothing to sneeze at!

Thank you Mike! I guess I am in a 'small' way.

Thank you Gary! I am so thrilled that I got to bring it out to view again!

Duke, I appreciate your kind words regarding my 'two' builds, I think you were kinder than they deserve.

Of course, my weak attempt at humor was comparing your collection to mine, was not accomplished.

[Duke Maddog]

I disagree, your models are incredible, and yes, I got the humor in your post; it made me grin quite wide when I saw you collection. That was so cool!

Thank you again!

Wow! That is a great collection, and one to be proud of!

[Duke Maddog]

Maybe by the end of summer..... unless Life gets in the way!

Glamdring, thank you! I admit I am quite proud of it.

Thank you Kari! I appreciate that!

Yes, another reason I keep my collection consistent; seeing the growth rate of more modern stuff compared to earlier.
