JR= in my mind, being in balance means things like managing humble and pride at the same time. Your work continually shows both; I see balance in your work. If I am happy with my projects (ahem, any finished yet?)(shaddap), the effort was worthy. If others ever see them and like them, icing, my friend, icing.

Found some additional pics from another angle.
And as is my wont after a larger project wraps up,I cleared the bench. This is as clean as it ever gets gents!
When a new project starts I will very shortly be back to working in a one foot by one foot space though. Never fails !

I am so in awe of your work. This is just amazing. I wish I had a fraction of your talent. I have been building models for about 50 years..I'm 57..And will never equal your amazing talent. You are an inspiration...It makes me want to try even harder. I love this hobby and the amazing people who make it great. Thanks Jerry.

As a relative newcomer to this site let me add my high praise to the chorus that is already deafening...
A magnificent job sir! The figure whisperer perhaps?

Beautiful work Jerry. Ya gotta love the tight composition, and you've pulled it off cleanly too!
The last few birdz-eye-pics really show your excellent uniform blending and shading.
So this is where it all begins, the Master's lair!
Cheers

Jerry,
Really great work. Not only is the technical and artistic proficiency out of this world, but the human element comes through very strongly. I can feel the exhaustion of those guys after getting that thing into the back of the track. Nicely done, sir.

Great workbench too Jerry – did you actually polish the top or was that a major gloss-cote spill?

Zon,
Thanks for noticing the over heated aspect. This is the first time I tried to show that and hopefully it works ! So if you noticed then I did succeed! Nice to know.
Thanks buddy,

Thanks Tim,
I built this bench many many moons ago when I live in the mountains in a house my Dad and I built. It used to be 4 by 8 feet and based on a standard sheet of plywood. I had to cut it down to fit my present space. It has 3 coats of poly on it. For years I used to carefully tape pieces of discontinued wallpaper to the work area to preserve it mainly because I was casting thousands of parts back then but now I don't. Now I can't be bothered to protect it anymore! Lost interest.
