30mm CWIS
Great kit, Lots and lots of PE. Turned brass barrels. Very well engineered, but really take your time folding the brass PE steps.
Been modeling since I was 8. My father got me involved and it's been my number one hobby all this time. I'am 60 now and have begun to pull away from 1/72 (to small) 1/32nd "looks" real good now! I've been working in the hobby field for almost 30 years.
As a artist and designer for hobby magazines an illustrator for books and even a stint as an assistant manager at a hobby shop. Love to build everything, aviation and armor being top now.
1/72 Bruno, Bismarck turret
This is the turret from Takom and wood deck. And aluminum barrels from MTW. The kit went together pretty good. The photo etched railings were very fragile and I replaced most of them with stretched sprue. Not Takom’s fault, just a big [...]
Started 2016, first finished 2017
Nice kit, typical Tamyia, add glue, shake box, done! Parts breakdown was interesting, track, rollers, drive gear all one piece. Gave me a chance to use Panzer Putty to mask with and it worked great. Didn't pull off any paint or leave any [...]

Russian T5 torpedo boat
This is the Merit 1/35 scale kit. It's been quite awhile since I posted anything or finished anything but here we go. The kit was a very nice build, no flash or ejector pin marks tha show up. The hull is 2 pieces joined at the lower sharp [...]
Typhoon update
Closed up, landing gear details, filling and sanding next. Might have to take out a lone to pay for all the paint for this thing!
Airfix 1/24 Typhoon Lots of PARTS
Starting to look like sumpin. Lots of scraping and sanding, but the plastic is soft so it goes fast!
D Day build stopping the Beaufighter (lost interest) going to build this L4 Grasshopper..fast
Needed a fresh start I still have time so here we go!
Base done, olive drab coat on the Huey
This is the Verlinden helo base with a Hobby Boss UH-1C that I added the weapons mounts and 40mm grenade launcher "borrowed" from the Monogram hog kit. Still working on the D-Day Beaufighter too! Can't just do 1 thing at a [...]
