While I mostly model WW II aircraft, I will make any model that strikes my fancy.
Continuing the building of my model archive, today I present my Elite Miniatures Norman knight in 54 mm. It's a metal casting. I used oils for the entire figure. The shield and tunic design are made up. That's the beauty of this figure: [...]
Some time ago I decided that I wanted, little by little, to archive photos of most of my completed models here on iModeler. So if you will indulge me, I'm going to start with my figures.
This first one is a set of flats,Napoleon at the [...]
I was going through my posts here on iModeler and realized I never posted about my first build in 2016! During construction I cracked the gunner position canopy. I was able to continue building the kit since the canopy could be put on [...]
My last completed kit for 2016, making it 13 finished models for the year. That's the most I've completed in a year for many, many years. I present the Tamiya 1/48 JGSDF Type 10 Tank.
As I and many others have said before, these kits go [...]
Here's my version of the Airfix 1/72 Supermarine Spitfire F Mk. 22. For this project I wanted to go for a pristine post-war finish so I did very little weathering. I also used the AK Xtreme Metal polished Aluminum. I very much like that [...]

The build was [...]
This year I decided to start up a model club at my school. With the help of a local hobby shop and modeler who was selling off his collection of unbuilt kits, I was able to get enough stuff together to offer 20 students a chance to make a [...]
I couldn't let my friend Dennis's 1/48 Tamiya armor kit go in answered. Here's my latest kit in quarter inch scale, the Tamiya Sd.Kfz.232. As Dennis has said numerous times, these kits go together fast with very little cleanup or [...]
This is the Academy 1/48 Bearcat. Apparently it is also the Hobbycraft Bearcat. I've read reviews that say the cowl is misshapen and the wheel well detail may be spurious among other issues. However, I found the kit to look fine to me [...]
My random award winner kit from iModeler arrived yesterday. Now, do I build it as a PR XIX or convert it to a mk. XIV?
Again, thank you iModeler for the recognition and the model!
