| What is the big cargo plane? A Galaxy? I wish they had air shows like this in Germany ... |

| Cool picture! Where was it taken? The B-17 looks like "Yankee Lady" which visits this area for a local WWII show. |

| Sweet! If you look real closely, it looks like most every one is watching the B-17 fly by! |

| Joyce and Leroy are parents of a secretary at the school where my contact, the aviation teacher, works. They just happened to be spending some time in Phoenix and stopped here so they could take as many models as possible back with them to Sioux Falls, South Dakota where they live. At Easter time they will take them to the school in Bismarck. I got two large boxes from U Haul and cut the tops off and Joyce and my friend Mike packed them, literally packed them, and added packing peanuts to fill up the boxes. Repairs will be required when they get there, I'm certain. A blanket was placed on top of the two boxes and the B-17 was placed on it and the B-29 on top of that, with some more padding provided by an unused crocheted comforter. There was even some space left to slip in a couple of jets. They have a GPS and a laptop and she is the navigator. Absolutely super folks! The whole thing took just over an hour. |

Making room for the B-17 |

| Weathering is fine, I use on my plastic kits. Personally, I prefer to leave my wood models as they come off assembly line, pristine. I do not like to detract from the craftsmanship involved in building a model from wood. The most I do is to sometimes add smoke stains to gun ports. And DD can't improve on perfection! |

| No mountains...the result of "weathering!" |

| dear david,
i didn't mean to offend you i still think your one of the best,but i was a diorama builder and did must like weathering and so on.I think your planes looks like the just left the factory ,oke its very beautyfull but maybe whit some weathering (and i think your a artist)you will have some fantastic projects.. |

| DD... You stated the process, the creation, goal, very, very well. So well in fact, maybe you should write!!! |

| Unfortunately this photo does not show the model to its best advantage. There actually is some detail there but certainly not what I'm doing now. As to why I do not add more...I work on a model, just as a painting, until I'm satisfied with it and then I stop. As an artist, one learns that painting individual leaves on a tree is not what it's about and that some things are best left out in order to achieve a more realistic effect. My interest is in building and painting the model as best as I can but my aim is not to make it super realistic. Unlike some builders, I want it to look like a model. Purchasing the kit and paint allows me that artistic license. |

| An early Duckett for sure but a fine model. Technique evolves through time. Like fine art, DD's current style is at the pinnacle of purrrfection...we all know its the cat! |

| If I can be so bold to answer...I think if you look at Mr. Duckett's hangar you'll find plenty of detail. Check out his Space Shuttle or the panel lines on his Raiden "Jack". I think this site is a showcase for those who want to build what they want in their own way. It's also a place to come to get encouragement and inspiration for projects that are to say the least, sometimes very challenging. I don't know, but for me there is plenty of detail of different kinds here to appreciate. If I want more I go to check out the plastics. hyperscale.com and modelingmadness.com among others have plenty of that fussy stuff. This kind of modeling is as they say, "a different kettle of fish" and one that has a steep learning curve as I'm quickly discovering. |
