Hi Guys. Seems I never get enough time to build. But I must have more than its seems. I was taking some shots today of household items to put on a disc and save in the safety deposit box for insurance backup. Here are the 17 dios/vignettes that I have built in the last 2 1/2 years. Thought you might enjoy seeing them again.












Times sure flies when your having fun!!!!

your dio collection made me want to peak at your gallery, very impressive work, and your workspace looks like a miniature hobbyshop with all these kits on shelves!

Don:

Thanks for sharing pix of your very impressive work. Most interesting. In the top left shelf, I see you built the Russian Armored Car kit of the Ba-20. I have several of those kits, it's so weird it is kewl, huh? I hope to use it in a dio as well. Again, thanks for the show.

Nice photos! Do you have an insurance rider on them?

Now you need more shelves.

Don, you have an incredible collection of dio's there. I have been amazed at the quality of your builds as well as the short amount of time it seems for you to turn them out. A month or so ago I was looking through your gallery and mentioned to a content scout that they should do some features on your work. I hope you decide to do it, I look forward to it. Cheers Kevin
