First Anime Model

by Scott Nelson on December 31, 2020 · in Figures · 2 ≡

Here’s something a little different for my 80th article here on iModeler. I’ve always been intrigued by some of the various anime models out there and while visiting family in LA before the “Great Hunkering Down” I found this in a [...]

Academy 1/72 OV-10D Bronco – Desert Storm

by Greg Kittinger on December 31, 2020 · in Aviation · 17 ≡

This is my entry for the Desert Storm group build. I added details to the cockpit - some bulkhead at the rear deck, boxes, cables, ejection handles, etc, knowing it would be pretty visible under that expansive canopy. Nothing extra to the [...]

Forklift

by Charles King on December 31, 2020 · in Automotive · 24 ≡

This is a forklift I made for my present diorama I am working on at the moment. I used, the sponge technique, as well as, a sharp X-to knife for the scuffed and scratches areas. I then used light dust, and dark brown colors from Citadel. [...]

Armored Austro-Hungarian Romfell car, 1915

by Alex on December 31, 2020 · in Armor · 13 ≡

My last build for 2020: Armored Austro-Hungarian Romfell car, 1915. Only a few prototypes were built because some generals and the emperor Franz Joseph I thought that thing would scare the horses during a war... So better to push your [...]

USS West Virginia BB-48 1945 – Trumpeter 1/700

by Andrew H on December 31, 2020 · in Ships · 6 ≡

So... On a whim, figured I post one of my ships on here. This is Trumpeter's 1/700 West Virginia '45 kit, which is very similar to all the Big 5 kits that Trumpeter has put forth. It's a pretty good kit, but as with most ships, I felt the [...]

Cessna O-2A Skymaster - ICM 1/48

by Andrew H on December 31, 2020 · in Aviation · 24 ≡

This will likely - and unfortunately - be the last off my bench for 2020. Happily so though, I can finally put it in the display case, and pray that the landing gear doesn't collapse anymore... This kit is the new tool ICM O-2A Skymaster, [...]

COVID No. 13. AlleyCat CAC Boomerang

by Steve Oakson on December 30, 2020 · in Aviation · 6 ≡

My final covid build for 2020?. This a resin kit. Overall I was pleased when it was completed. The Boomerang was a panic development fighter from the Wirraway by the Aussies at the beginning of the war. It did not have much air to air [...]

COVID No.12 1/32 IBG Pzl-11c

by Steve Oakson on December 30, 2020 · in Aviation · 7 ≡

In total summation of this kit- WOW! I could not believe the plastic when I opened the box for this kit. I had built several kits of this bird over the years, but this in a totally new league of detail. The wing and fuselage corrugations [...]
