Here is a web site showing all but the model I'm still working on.
Constitution, and I'm afraid I may have bitten off more than I can
chew.....

Absolutely beautiful! Thanks a bunch for the pictures. Do you buy kits, or
are you doing this from scratch? If from scratch, where do you get the
plans?

PS. I loved "Geico" and a couple of the others also!

PPS. Thanks for the response, Harry was accusing me of asking me for
'guitar' pics!!

I don't build from scratch, for several reasons. I was tempted to try
one of Mamolis models because their plans have enough info to build from
scratch, but there is no model store in the area that carries the
material I would need. Building from kits means that everything is in
the proper scale. I think I have the tools necesary for building from
sratch, but not the expertise. Like I said, I'm not a natural
craftsman. All of the kits were ordered from Model Expo and they are
all either Artesania Latina or Mamoli. Model Expo had great prices for
many years, but in the last year or so, they have bumped prices from 30
to 70 pct.

I gave my guitar to my granddaughter, so no pix of that.

I just looked at their site. Nice selection, and not cheap. Again, thanks
for the pics and the info.
