Scale model builder for the past 40 years, albeit on and off until the past decade or so. I primarily focus on armor, although I have recently moved over some time into aircraft. I'm more focused on painting than building. However, I am working on my scratch skills and hope to learn a lot here.
My primary focus is on subjects of WW2 armor of the German Army. I have done the occasional Allied subjects, but I get bored of painting green.
This is a great kit by Trumpeter and the only soviet armor I've ever done in my 40+ years of modeling. I actually finished it years ago, but it was just green, flat and boring. I came back this week and decided to add a light whitewash [...]
I used the Mr color Super silver and Stainless steel on my Mustang with the Mr color 400 thinner. In general I was happy with the results. Although I wanted a tighter silver and less "sparkles".

This is an oldie but goodie, the Tamiya Tiger 1 Mid Production. My first Tiger I ever did. I have repainted it probably 4-5 times as it became my paint mule and practice slab for many techniques over the years.
This was my [...]
Hey everyone.
If you've read my "Why I Hate Building Airplanes" post (below), you know I have a love hate relationship with modeling aircraft. However, in an attempt to keep my challenge going after the FW190 and Corsair, I [...]
Hey everyone.
I'm posting my recent pics of the RFM TIGER 1 Initial Production, Leningrad 1943. The RFM kit is just excellent! I think maybe RFM makes some of the best kits on the market today. So clean and crisp with excellent [...]
Hey everyone.
My son Kai (he's 12) and I (much older) just completed work on this really cool and fun to build and paint 1/72 kit from Takom of the Scharnhorst Battleship Turret B.
Although technically a battle cruiser I think, many [...]
Every modeler has a "breakthrough model". A model that should never be forgotten as it's the model you took risks with new techniques and the model that becomes distinctly "yours". Maybe it was your first time using an [...]
Hello my friends and Corsair Junkies.
As I promised from my first aircraft posting, [Why I Hate Building Airplanes!] ((link)), I have taken on the challenge of completing my first Corsair. A subject and aircraft that I know many of you [...]
