An impressive collection and all nice looking models even if there was a hiccup or two along the way. Certainly am looking forward to a few more of these fugly builds.

Don't be so hard on yourself...it's all part of the evolution process of learning and improvement....not too shabby at all!

Fugly? Most of mine are so fugly they break the camera lens when I try to shoot them. You're the real deal, pal, and don't let anyone tell you otherwise.
Nice work!

Some very nice models mate but I'm still trying to believe a quote from you...

Ever since my wife learned how to run the barbecue, the minions have fared poorly...
Actually, it was she that chose that Eduard kit: "That's cute! Do they really mean 'weekend'? Bet you can do it." My wife's great for my hobby, she really is. "That looks awful! Those Germans knew nothing about color-coordination. Here, build this one."
I spent a lot of time working out my techniques so sometimes I can almost build on autopilot. The Yak fit well and had a low parts count. Economy of motion: build the wings while the cockpit dries, kind of thing. I glossed with Metalizer Sealer, which dries in seconds. That helped. And I cut corners too. That said, some Tamiya kits can be done in a weekend as well, but some of the other Eduard 'weekend' kits can't. That La-7, for instance. Too fiddly.
