    Nice to see that again. Shows how big a company was, which is something us single vehicle builders tend to overlook…

        Feel free to add your medium sized favorite pics reduced due to the upgrade.
        Here's another of my faves. PG coy w/attached Pioneer elements featuring 251s of many types.

            In a way I wish had photos of the builds I did as a kid, to see just how awful they were,. Lol.
            I did have several planes hanging from the ceiling in a dogfight configuration, I remember it vividly.
            Sadly I have no old photos of those early models.... 8-(

              These look great Paul. Must have taken you quite a while to make each vehicle even in that scale. For me a company size in 1/35 would take up quite a bit of real estate.
              How far back is an old build? 20...30 years? I may not have photos further than that.

              Cheers,
              Wabble

                Thanks Wabble. We're talking years for some of these bigger projects. My US Engineers are going on 50+ years.
                Anything posted before August 2024 was my initial thought, as they were limited to very small images due to the software change. My thinking was a place you could post pictures that were better than those in the original thread so people could see them.

                  Excellent idea Paul. So many great build pics were thumbnail sized after the upgrade. I’ll add some of mine later.

                            Some cracking work on display, Paul.

                            A pleasure to see.

                              That's really unusual, what was the inspiration for that scene Paul?
