I am a sophomore in high school. My model building interest started in the summer before my 8th grade year. I originally started by building only ships but branched out to tanks and aircraft.

It's been a while

Well everybody, it's been over a year and a half since my last post so I figured it's about time I returned. I'm three quarters of the way through my junior year of highschool. A lot has change since I was last here. I've gone from winning [...]

Skyraider

I made the Tamiya 1/48 Skyraider as close to the paint scheme reference as I could. I chose the one from the USS Intrepid because I have actually been onboard it.

T29

Out of the US heavy tanks prototypes of WW2, the T29 is one of my favorite due to its large rangefinders. This is also my first time building a Takom model and I enjoyed it very much. While building, I also heard the story of and IS2 named [...]

Thunderbolt

While I experiment with my airbrush, I also decided to give spray cans a go. It worked marvelously and I finally have a metallic colored plane. After seeing Tom Cleaver’s post about the thunderbolt at D-day I decided to give it invasion [...]

F4 Phantom Marines

I was building my second thunderbolt but got tired of sawing the resin gunbays and engine plus my razor saw broke. I had another 1/32 phantom in the stash and decided to build that. This time I tried following the paint and decal scheme as [...]

Lightning

Since it’s been a while since my last Lightning, I decided to build another Tamiya one. To make it more interesting, I bought the Eduard base for it, some resin figures and built a table. I put resin ammo boxes and a .50 caliber machine [...]

1/350 Mikasa

The 1/350 Hasegawa Mikasa has been sitting around in my stash for a while. I had gotten the photo etch upgrade and wooden deck. Since I was on spring break and the speech and debate season ended I decided to finally build it. The lifeboats [...]

Third Corsair

Hi everyone, this time, I built yet another Corsair. I wanted to make it more detailed so I used Eduard PE seatbelts and resin wheels. I also wanted to open up one wing and add in a gunbay. I wasn’t able to find any resin gunbays but I [...]
