30 - Airfix 1/6 – Skeleton "What I'll look like when my model stash is finally completed." @gwskat
It's Mr Bones, an ancient Airfix kit from 1965. Was fun to do. My wife is a high school biology teacher and so he now hangs happily in her classroom.
29 - 1/72 Hasagawa VF-1S Strike Valkyrie
I love Macross (RoboTech) kits, they really are nicely made and I had so much fun with this.
I was having problems with the AK weathering pencils and watercolour pencils so I challenged myself on this build to weather only with the [...]

My first foray into the armour world, I decided to go small, this 1/72 Panzerfunkwagen, was my experiment.

The roof was cut off to make the GTB into the convertible GTS.
Instead of the usual Ferrari Red, I chose to. go with a really [...]
1/72 Octopus I.M.A.M. Ro.43
This kit was a challenge like I'd never had before, a short run kit with vague instructions, no alignment pins and vac form canopies, but its such a cool plane and I had to do it.
So off I went, and what fun I had, yes, yes, I'm a s****r [...]
24 - 1/650 AMT Klingon Bird of Prey
Been a while, need to update a few builds, first off the Klingon Bird of Prey.
Really enjoyed this build, big and chunky parts, with nice deep recesses for detail. The kit has a lot of detail on it that makes it stand out and the colours [...]
23 - 1/48 Academy Lavochkin Lav-7
This was a pretty straight forward build, went together easily enough and had no real issues.
I decided to do the Aircraft of Captain Aleksei Alelyukhin. Painted red by his mechanics and flew over Berlin as it fell to the Russians to dig [...]
22 - Tamiya 1/24 Castrol Toyota Tom's Supra GT
What a fantastic model to build, so much fun and so very well made. There is no engine but excellent details in the suspension and shocks that it was really fun. Also a beautiful race interior and roll cage.
If you love decals this one is [...]
