Hi All, Kyle invited me to this forum and it looks like a lot of fun! A few of you might know me from the Hyperscale, ARC, and Modeling Madness forums. I've been building models for over 50 years, mostly 1/48 and 1/144 airplanes, but a few years ago I got started on sports car and sci fi models, too. I'm currently working on a Hasegawa Jaguar XJR-8 LM and a Tamiya F-16C. Here are a few of my favorite builds over the last several years. Sorry for the poor cell phone photography! ![](https://i.imgur.com/iiSYaW5.jpg) ![](https://i.imgur.com/DJcIcJs.jpg) ![](https://i.imgur.com/zEUethm.jpg) ![](https://i.imgur.com/9UaWo9i.jpg) ![](https://i.imgur.com/iBN1qYv.jpg) ![](https://i.imgur.com/fxrO75G.jpg) Ben

Welcome. We have similar tastes. Do you build airliners in 1/144? I love the volt livery on the GT-4. I have that one in the stash and I have the Motorcraft decals for it. I look forward to following your future builds!

Those are beauties! I have a BPK CRJ-900 in the stash. Saw one flying overhead and hunted down the kit. I'd like to get a dash 8.

Welcome, Ben, and that is some pretty awesome work. 50yrs of "sniffin paint" has paid off handsomely by the looks of those build, excellent! Enjoy the site and post em when ya got em.

Ben, Welcome to the site, it really rocks around here. Now I really feel at home with you joining, as just about all my close friends from the other list are here.
Just love all your posted models especially some of those older Tamiya builds like the 1988 Toms Minolta. It's a pleasure to see them once again.
And most important of all, how's the pup doing these days?

I’ll try to post some pics of the Jaguar XJR-8 LM I’m working on as soon as I can get the pics edited. I’m almost finished with it. The pup is doing well. Still keeping us busy! Cheers! Ben
