I make Airfix/whatever brand models like this one:



I also play lots and lots of video games.

Speaking of war models. For a while back when I was in my early teens I was into putting them together. Got the "Excato Knife" bought the glue and paint.

My BACK THEN, two favorite war machines were the Pacific Corsair which I never built. BUT I also liked the F-14 Tomcat because of it's retractable wings. I did go to the local toy store, bought a model, paint.  Took days for me to complete it, BUT I painted it camouflage, only to have someone tell me while the detail was great, those fighter Jets were Marine and Navy use and would not have been painted that way. 

I loved the shape of the Corsair with the blue and white and bent wings. But again, looking back at it now, for both, I see no art in our species ability to create machines designed to murder other human beings.

Somewhere in my house, is a F4U-5 Corsair which i built, many years ago. I have that, the 1936-class Zerstorer in the picture, the Tirpitz, a Panther Tank, The cruisers SMS Dresden and SMS Emden, and a BV-222 flying boat. I have yet to get into painting, due to a large fear of ruining said models. 

War machines have their own, strange kind of beauty to them.
