While I mostly model WW II aircraft, I will make any model that strikes my fancy.
When I saw the Eduard Spitfire Mk. IX my friend Dennis Meyers was in the process of making some months ago (which you can find here on iModeler), I knew I had to pull my Mk. VIII off the shelf and get started. Here is the result: the [...]
This is the Trumpeter F-100D in 1/72 scale. Completed model number six for the year. I started this one in March completing about 85% of the model when a few problems with kit frustrated me to the point of putting it aside. The misshapen [...]
I picked this kit up about a year ago at a model contest. It included a resin turret, storage boxes and some photo etch parts. All for the low price of $5! I used the resin turret and storage boxes. I only used to the photo etched belts [...]
Today I fire a 1/48 scale salvo at my good friend Dennis Meyers in our friendly model competition (I know he's working on the Eduard 1/48 Spitfire he received from imodeler). This is my fourth completed kit for 2016, the Airfix 1/48 Hawker [...]
Well, this wasn't a weekend build but, it was close! It took me four days to finish it. This Hobby Boss easy build kit was exactly that: an easy build. The parts count is very small and fit was excellent. I only needed a tiny bit of [...]

This is my version of the Airfix 1/72 Armstrong Whitworth Whitley. For a good bit of history about the Whitley look up Tom Cleaver's article here on imodeler.
I found the kit to be an enjoyable build. Even though the fuselage is [...]
This is the Dragon Black label 1/35 British Armored Car Saladin Mk.2 with, seemingly, a certain fellow from a bridge too far commanding. The Saladin was a post WWII British six-wheeled armored car built by Alvis fitted with a 76mm gun. [...]
This Is my recently completed 65mm French Officer of Engineers during the Second Empire. He sat in the "kits to finish" pile for so long, I've forgotten the manufacturer. I used oils for all my painting. For the silver braid I [...]
Eleven of the 12 models I finished this year. I don't know where that other photo went! Anyway, I met my goal of completing 12 kits this year, the most productive modeling year I've had since I was a kid. For 2015 I plan to at least [...]
