yep, have a few scale tanks from 1/32 to 1/16 and the odd jet, although i must say tanks are terrible, the tracks never ever fit well and look good unless your gonna splurge for a very expensive kit

Yup, have models around my room, and a HO scale layout in the basement. My models are mostly of tanks, King Tiger, Jagdpanther, M1A2 Abrams (one that I personally built), some car models, Other nick nacks, 20mm Cannon casing from WW2 (mostly likely fired by a Oerlikon) 300. Win Mag casing, 5.56 Casing, WW2 Canadian steel helmet, oh yah a Reichsmark from 1943 lol.

I remember building a 1/36 scale Sherman tank when I was about 10. I put it on a stand that I made out of my mother's old breadboard. I covered the top of the board in glue, coated it in mud and stones so that it looked like a piece of the battlefield. It sits on my shelf to this day :P

Latest one was a tamiya 1/250 prince of Wales with some photoetched parts

Had a Tamiya TB-01 a long time ago.

It is so long ago that I used a brushed engine and Ni-Cd cells.

Looking to build a few 1:700 ship models...

Already built a 1:700 IJN Shimakaze from Tamiya, an Su-25 Frogfoot (forgot the scale) from Tamiya, and an MiG-23 Flogger...

In the middle of building a 1:700 I-400 from HobbyBoss and having trouble detailing the upper hull...

Any advice from you guys when it comes to painting and detailing?

My 10 year old brother got a ship model kit once and he got as far as gluing the hull together. I finished it and now I want to build more but it's too Dang expensive
