Started building models again after a 25 year break. Enjoy warbirds, armor and muscle cars.
I bought this kit for $10 at a model show and just had it sitting around for a rainy day. Well, we haven’t had a rainy day in Minnesota since May so I opted to use it for this group build. I wish I had something more unique to offer, but [...]
When I was seven years old Han Solo was indeed the coolest cat in the entire galaxy. Therefore I just had to BE him after seeing Star Wars. And God-love my dad who spent the afternoon building me a “Han Solo” blaster. His good eye [...]
