These were completed but after their adventures in the loft, they need repaired
This one is a modified version of the one above, I opened its mouth, added extra thumbs and the smooth cranium
You get 1 egg with each kit so I joined them and opened one and made a face hugger from milliput
Don't know when I'll ever get round to fixing them

I eventually scanned photos of my old models
The De Lorean (the name sign is actually from a DeLorean, my Dad used to work in the factory in Belfast)
Some Alien models:
Back then I did a bit of sculpting, this Jim Carey Mask statue was originally sculpted in plasticine, latex moulds were taken off it and I made about half a dozen:
Differently painted:
Davros & the 'Movie' Dalek:
MPC Snowspeeder:
The Vac-formed Robbie the Robot from Forbidden Planet,....I sold this kit.....through a model shop in Belfast (Modellers Nook)....don't know who bought it, but it was on display in the Armagh Planetarium for a while:
The Tim Burton BatMobile:
& the Val Kilmer BatMobile:
You can't see in the photos but I put lights inside the wheels so that the bat symbol is illuminated.....you can however make out that the engine is illuminated blue:
Star Trek....I'm not really a fan.....these were built for a mate:
The Enterprise won 1st prize in the Sci-Fi category in 'The Leisure World Model competition' (Leisure World was a huge Toy & Leisure department store in Belfast which is now a car park) The prize money of £100 was spent entirely by my mate on himself.....well I suppose he owned the model.....This model was painted with satin & matte varnish to bring out the different panels.....it was in the days before anyone had heard of the Aztec pattern on the Enterprise:
I posted this image at the beginning of the thread:
This one had lit engines
The Halcyon Predator 2 model:
That's it, heres a link to my 'Old Models' gallery:

Thanks John, they were built by the old me, before I had kids (over 14-15 years ago) when time was my own, I work at a slower pace now
Thanks Quaralane.....sadly most of those kits are gone now, I sold, gave or threw out most of them, under pressure of my now ex-wife....put away those childish things
Q, would you have photos of what you have?
I'd be interested to see what Grendels has built also

A lot of what I've done can be found over on my Photobucket account.
In fact, there's more of it on photobucket than in my collection now.

I've also got some of it on an older site:

Thanks Quaralane, you just don't stop, a real inspiration mate.....did you create those CG characters also?
The thing that I like is that you never seem to get enough just building the kits out of the box, you always add your own ideas, the paint scheme of the Galactica Vipers look amazing:
Thanks for the link Q

Here you go, this is what I still have in the stash, most of my models did not survive college. Mom threw them away.....
This was in last years contest:
He still needs paint:
Done while I was in college, he needs a bit of repair. Everything was brush painted.
Same here:
Ditto:
Sorry for the blurry pic, Revell snap Tie fighter build right out of the box:
A few more survivors from college that need a bit of TLC:
The Thunderchild, it is the last model I used Model master paints on, probably won't go back to them either. This was made a few years ago:
This one is from High School one of the few that survived.
This is the only one that did not get damaged when Thunderpaws went on his rampage and destroyed the Godzilla dio. I still have the castle, King Gidorah and Mothra, they will be fixed up this summer. I don't know if I will get back to putting them together in a Dio though.
First plane built since college, messed up the decals a bit.
Desslocks command cruiser, missing one of his spikey things It is still in the shipping box and I have not had time to find it yet...
One of my favorites:
This kit did not come with Decals, but stickers and I chose not to use them....
And the viper This is the first model I built upon my return to model building a few years ago:
Another refuge from college but he did better than the others:
A gundam:
The oldest model I own, I built this back in 1972 I think:
First contest entry at SMA and second completed model since my return:
The most frustrating model I have ever built:
This one will get finished after the contest:
Hope you enjoyed!

Yep Grendels, thanks for sharing, the quality of your work is amazing
I didn't know you had a break from the hobby, I suppose my modelling time can be broken up into 4 periods....when I was a kid - up until I was 15 or 16 when I started going out, then I returned to it mid twenties up until I got married.....I was married for 4 years till my first kid came along, I returned to the hobby when he was about 4 for a few years till the second kid came, I'm only back a year & half now since my marriage broke up.
Anyway I noticed that I used to have one of the models you posted:
Here it is in this (don't laugh) diorama.......In the garage loft.....with no legs on it:
......and some more photos from period 1 of my modelling life:
Weathering was never my speciality:
Airfix Dinosaurs!!!:
More bad painting:
Thanks

Yeah, I had a very long break in my modeling career. I built models from basically 5 years old until I was about 25. For some reason I fell away from it until I was 44. A very long break. I have not been back at this for very long. And my build rate is so slow that I don't get much done either. That is one thing I would like to fix.
Nice to see the older models.
