Mad modeller. Particularly enjoy figures and allied WW1 Aircraft.
It has been ages but I thought I would post another one of my older builds. This kit is entirely made of resin with some photoetch and it is superbly cast and went together really well. Karaya did a great job with the interplane struts [...]
I love biplanes and even more, I love painting figures, so I have been collecting all the RFC figures I can find and slapping on the paint so they can liven up my biplane models. This pair now sit with my Wingnut Wings RE8 in Australian [...]
Hello again,
This figure is one from the Elan 13 stable in 54mm scale - a really novel piece for a WW1 pilot.
Acrylics overall but oils for the skin tones. When I first saw this model I was unsure about the 44 gallon drum but it turns out [...]
Hi all, been a while since I posted but here is one of my favourites. This started out as the Billy Bishop kit from Model Cellar but I only model AFC so a new head was in order. This one is an old Verlinden one I had in the spares [...]
This is one of my favourite models. A simple thing but deeply satisfying to find a relatively obscure subject done so well by the manufacturer.
There were lots of little scratch building projects all over this kit such as the ship's [...]
Hi all - I had a couple of surprises today - one good and one not so good...
Tore my calf muscle while exercising today - not much fun - but came home to find my prize for September's iModeler award! I wasn't up to taking first class [...]
Hi all
My real fascination with models lies with figures. Figures really bring a model to life (and of course, if not done well can make a great model seem second rate...we have all probably seen some very nice aircraft or tank models that [...]
Hi all,
If I am not building biplanes I am probably painting a figure. This is another older work, the Verlinden knight in 120mm scale. Painted in enamels and artist's oils, I just wanted to do something interesting with some Heraldry and [...]
Hi all,
I know I normally construct Australian Flying Corps aircraft but the DH-2 is my all time favourite aircraft.
To be fair, this one was used by a sister squadron to 1SQN AFC.
Now this is a pretty good kit anyway but I got pretty busy [...]
Hi all,
This kit is one of the old Eduard molds, re released by Flashback and frankly a pretty rough kit. If you are up for a little challenge, see if you can find one and see how you go!
I made quite a few modifications because so many [...]
