Well this was a doozy. The big 1/16 scale T-34 by Trumpeter, full detail inside in out. This build took me exactly 20 days working 7 days a week.
This is a good kit, with the typical sketchy directions from Trumpeter, but mold and fit is [...]
Here is my 30th model of the year the 1/48 scale Tamiya Army Air Corps fuel truck.
These 1/48 scale Tamiya armor kits are terrific builds that you can build fairly quickly. Zero fit issues and easy to follow instructions, great for the [...]
Here’s another one for you guys. 1/25th scale Moibeus Ford F-150 built for a customer to look like his father’s farm truck. This build took around 30 hours.

Hi all,
Here is my latest build of the Moebius 1/25th scale 1966 Ford F-150 Flareside farm truck. I built this truck in around 70 hours. Real metal trim and grill. Several techniques were used for the rust to include, dry brushing, chalk [...]
Good lord AMT makes horrible kits. I would never touch one of these kits if I wasn't paid to do so. I think drug use is rampant at the AMT factory. Anyhoo here is a 1/25th scale AMT NASCAR Raybestos race truck. Custom everything on this [...]
