Megatron!
Now for something completely different! I was given this kit by my friend who is the head of Transformers at Hasbro toys, I was asked to to a weathered version as a sample for their paint department. They basically provided me an [...]

1/72 Catalina by Academy
Here is a little 1/72 scale Catalina by Academy, I’m not a fan of Academy, especially their horrible decals, but this kit was a must have for one of my customers and I was happy to obliged to it is one of my favorite aircraft of WW2. [...]
1/12 scale Renault F1 car kit by Tamiya
Well here is another completed build. A Renault in 1/12 scale. Don’t let the packaging fool you, these are vintage Tamiya kits with some pathetic photoetched thrown in. Beware that these kits were manufactured before the computer age and [...]
1/48 scale Bristol kit by Eduard
I love Eduard more and more, especially their WW1 aircraft. Great detail, great instructions and plenty of options. This Bristol is a challenging build, especially when it comes to rigging. If you haven’t done rigging before, this [...]
1/8th scale Norton GP Bike vintage kit from 1970 by Protar
Well, this is a terrible kit with even worse instructions. Somehow I managed to get it together, I’m actually shocked it’s built.
My 29th customer build of the year. I did this to look as if it was found in a barn, so I could hide [...]
Zero “Zeke” in 1/32 scale
This is my 27th build of the year, the 1/32 scale Zeke by Tamiya. I had high expectations for this kit, sure looks good in the box! Not one of Tamiyas best, not great engineering, ejection marks on almost every piece, confusing [...]
HIMARS 1/35 scale by Trumpeter
What a pain in the butt this kit was! Trumpeter 1/35 scale HIMARS with a whopping 750 parts!
Great molding and detail, typical crappy Trumpeter instructions.
Get ready for tons of tiny parts, many that will leave you scratching your [...]
Tamiya 1/48 scale BF109
Well here’s another kit! The Tamiya 1/48 scale Bf 109, probably the best Tamiya 1/48 scale kit going. Not much to say except it builds incredibly well!
1/32 scale Dauntless kit by Trumpeter
Here we have my 8th build of the year, the 1/32 scale SBD3 Dauntless by Trumpeter. Molding is exceptional, body and cowl are clear plastic for some reason, which I find useless. The instructions are typical Trumpeter, filled with mystery [...]
My 34 builds in 2023!
Holy cow what a year for model builds! I hit a grand total of 34 models for customers this year! The two biggest challenges were the six 1/32 scale Harriers and the 1/48 scale B-29 in actual aluminum panels.
What does 2024 have in store [...]
