There's a remarkable sense of accomplishment in modeling a piece of history, whether it be an F-14 Tomcat, a Casablanca-class escort carrier, or a state of the art Global Hawk unmanned recon drone.

That's why modelers and designers of all ages and backgrounds put their best into their work, whether it be a computer model, a 1/72 scale kit, or even a full-size scratchbuilt film prop!
