Introducing Project: Aces, my attempt to recreate in scale model form, the most famous heroes of the fictional Ace Combat Universe, I may later decide to create one or two others based on other fictional stories, but as of right now, it’s limited to AC. The current project status is 0%. Well, technically it’s like .005% complete since I’ve nearly finished the cockpit on one of the models that I have to make. So, I assume that you’re wondering what models I will be making, so here’s the official list of planes slash squadrons, and what media they’re from.

"The Demon Lord of the Round Table, a warrior who soared through the Belkan War, inspiring both fear and admiration. His presence filled the skies for but a few short months before he disappeared. Apart from that, nothing is known about him. I was never able to find out what kind of a person he really was. But whenever they talked about him, they always had a slight smile on their faces. That, perhaps, may be my answer."

Well, that’s it for now for Project Aces, I’ll hopefully be able to make nice display stands for each one too, and I might make a Challenger II Tank in honor of the Warlock Separate Tank Batallion, and its crew Sergeant Louis McKnight, Sergeant “Torch”, and Sergeant Hobsbawn from Ace Combat 6: Fires of Liberation.
