Hi Ryan and Ralph
I think you both build great models of modern jets. Also good to see this group
becoming more active.
A question to both of you what scale do you aim for? (1 stud to 1 feet = 1:38 is
what I want to use but my models tend to be a little bit larger when completed)
A couple of years ago I built a F-14 more or less straight from Bruce Rollins
dat-files.

The standard of building improves for every year. I was very please with my
model when I made it but is not up to creations built today (like yours). I
agree with Ralph that modelling modern fighter airplanes is very hard. I think
WW2 aircraft is a bit easier and more suited for Lego.
What I like about Ryan's impressive F-16: Cockpit, canopy, weapons, overall
proportions, colour and that no decals are used. The problem area is the engine
intake and radome area. But it is the best F-16 so far.
What I like about Ralph's models: The high detail level, colour schemes, and
overall proportions. It is very hard to build Navy aircraft without decals. I
must say the decals improve your models a lot so why not accept them.
Keep on building both of you!!

It looks very neat. Bryce has designed a B-1B bomber (...) (18 years ago, 9-Jul-06, to lugnet.build.military)

| (...) Hi Ryan, Don't get me wrong. I have seen some other F-16s build in LEGO, and in many respects yours is the best. I to have been building with LEGO for about 20 years as well, and like you I value details and realism. I have to admit that (...) (18 years ago, 8-Jul-06, to lugnet.build.military)
