    "best" can be so subjective. The one I'm most pleased to have finished is my revell 1/400 enterprise, just completed couple weeks ago, back and forwards on it for a year, with long periods off it when it began to get the better of me. I'm not a scratch-builder, (I have neither the skill nor imagination shown by some on here which just amazes me), but i decided to add the hangar deck which seems a popular option for carriers. Throw in a bit of lighting for that and it starts to become a "why did I do that?"Click image for larger version

    Pretty challenging for my skill level but happy with result. Probably built better looking small models, extra details, bit of weathering etc but definitely more satisfied with this.Click image for larger version

          These smaller scale ones impress me the most. To get so much detail and weathering on builds this size is just awesome work. Much kudos!

                Brilliant model Dave, attention to detail. I can see the broken prop shaft..

                  Only just seen your reply I haven't been doing much building lately maybe 1 hour or so a week if I am lucky that's why I haven't posted much and as for the enterprise its next up once I have finished the ship I am currently working on.
                  The reason for not building much is I have my in a care home for a while recovering from a hospital stay so modelling is way down on the list

                    Great models, loved the Land Rover, reminded me of Borneo and up country in Hong Kong in the 1970's...
