That's an impressive and amazing amount of model making ADM, how do you store it all? - you don't look old enough to have been able to dedicate so much time to it - do you ever sleep?

Well done to you, Regards, Tony.

I WANT! GIMMY...GIMMY...GIMMY...I WANNA PLAY!

Outstanding modelling and superb dioramas, hats off to you sir. If you're married or have a partner he or she must be very understanding...lot of money tied up in that lot plus the space and time in making them.

Si:)

Thank you mate for your appreciation, I'm experienced enough to work fast so it explain why I've already done so much at 46 years old, and just imagine what can be done if I live 100 year !!!

I'm not married yet but she will have to marry my models too, after all it's top models

Absolutly fantastic!

Are you sure you are working in 1:72? The detail looks like what most people can manage in 1:32

Hello ADM, are your figures hand painted by yourself? the more I study the detail and quality of your workmanship the more amazing are your achievements - incredible - am really impressed

Where do you get your figures from? I notice your profile doesn't say where your located.
Kind regards, Tony.

Hi guy,

I'm located in Cannes (France) where actually take place the Cannes film Festival, I temporarily stopped to work on my project for 2 weeks to enjoy this festival, watching movies, envoying parties and so on, and sorry Brian but I have barely enough time for my own project, I can't work for others people, but You can learn by yourself, it's not very difficult when you understand how to do it.

tt1 · « **Reply #35 on:** May 17, 2013, 06:17:02 pm »

Just studied your work on the Airfix link you posted - to use an American term I have to say ...............Awesome! - absolutely awesome. You must have the patience of Jobe, (or is it Job?) either way take my hat off to you.

ADM · « **Reply #36 on:** May 23, 2013, 01:46:28 pm »

Thanks tt1, I will come back with the hull in few months because there's a lot of work left for this aircraft carrier, awaiting that moment here is a photo took yesterday during a break at the Cannes film Festival, I'm with the actress Milla Jovovich, she's very cool and beautiful

tt1 · « **Reply #37 on:** May 23, 2013, 04:52:32 pm »

She certainly is

having said, that you don't scrub up too badly yourself!

- very smart. Would you mind telling this ignoramus what service / rank your in? I assume your serving / stationed in Cannes at the moment? Your right about being into "Top Models"!
Regards, Tony.

Sorry, everything is classified

, but top models or scale model it's my stuff during my rest

Here is the hull of the ship close to completion, I'm now working with the flightdeck, still a lot of details to add.

I'd like to know how many workers are hidden in your cellar ????????????????????

ADM · « **Reply #44 on:** September 17, 2013, 06:19:48 pm »

I spent 1 year and 1 month to do this from the very beginning (starting with the planes), it represent 2500 hours work (and more to come)and maybe I will finish around the end of the year but it's not sure, it could take longer. the hull was a big piece but I was able to do it within 3month (I'm a hard worker when motivated by passion

), the small details always take more longer than the big work
