Ignore the language, appreciate the pics.

Truly a labor of love.  Quality model making from scratch

I'm going to clean off my model workbench, give away all my  mediocre
models, and start a new hobby, like stamp collecting. :-)

Don't knock it, stamp collecting is a lot of fun!  One of my more
enjoyable hobbies, of which I have many.

coin collecting is really fun, too. and lucrative if you
learn to grade and read.

Yeah, but you don't have to make the stamps or add detailing. :-)

I collect them too.  I collect them in a shoe box.  I 'should' get
something more elegant to put them in but maybe someday my grandson will
have fun with them.

You might try cut and paste for the link instead of clicking on it.
The pictures are further down when you scroll.

The Question Is:  What do you get when you have a lot of talent and way
too much time on your hands (:>

Woo, wait a minute here, boys.

Mr. Wingrove and his wife do this for a living and have earned SERIOUS cash
(and honour) with it.
Go here and wet your apetite: http://www.geraldwingrove.com/

To quote a friend and Pocher model builder.....

Gerald Wingrove has received the O.B.E. for his work so you shouldn't
get too
upset if you don't meet these standards.  His models, 1/15th scale,
regularly
sell at auction over $20,000.
