Thank you Ian!

Thank you!
If I understand, you are wondering if I get paid for doing this? No, they are for my personal pleasure.
And for sharing with others.

Hi Ralph you have captured realism at its best as truly your talent is a gift. I thought Shepard Paine was good way back when ,, when he made all those dioramas for Monogram models. In my younger days I loved to make the 1/35th scale Tamiya models and loved doing it..............But the guys on this model forum, including yourself have done some amazing things that i thought were not possible. Incredible use of paints , thinners and sands to represent rust and weathering. Being on this forum brings back alot of memories and i enjoy looking at everyones creation as one goes to an art museum to appreciate fine art.....Hands clapping to you guys,, and a job well done.!! best regards Larry

Wow fantastic models! I admire you for your patience and steady hand. Wish I possessed such skill. Keep it going! Do you sell any?

Thank you Larry!
Part of the reason that I enjoy doing these kinds of things is realising the pleasure that others get when seeing what is possible. Another reason that I enjoy posting them is to hear the positive comments that you and others have posted. I still enjoy seeing Shep's work and have observed them for a long time.

Thank you!
I try not to sell too many due to the hours that involved. Unfortunately, very few people are prepared to pay what the work is worth.

Thanks for bumping this thread. I had forgotten about it.

It was nice to see Ralph's paintings again. How about a DAK diorama in the desert Ralph?

Thanks Chris!
I have a Desert Storm one in the works, unfortunately the figures that I still have in the boxes are Stalingrad and winter scenes. Also, my reference material for DAK is lacking big time.
I also have one Israeli figure, I believe Golan Heights if I remember correctly.
