Whew! This is a hell of a project, one that can drive you nuts, especially if the kit is sub par.
The way I am tackling it is by doing each section completely for one aircraft and I figure out any issues during assembly of that step. Once [...]
Hi All,
A quick update on the 6 Harriers that I am building for the USMC Blacksheep Squadron for the 80th Anniversary.
I am now onto the engines, I completed one as a test so the other 5 would go smoothly and this approach seems to work [...]
Hi all!
Well I have completed 5 of the 6 Harrier AV8B II Plus cockpits for phase one, kit 6 just arrived so I have to go backwards and do this phase all over again so they are all on the same step.

Hello again!
Here is my latest build the Tamiya 1/12 scale Ninja H2. I built this kit for a gentleman that owns the full scale version of this kit. Kit builds up nicely as these kits do, not much scratch building needed in this one, it's [...]
Hello again!
Here is my latest build for a former F-4 pilot and member of USMC VMFAT-101. This kit is the Tamiya 1/32 scale kit. From what I can tell this is an older kit, but still a fairly straight forward. Added a real aluminum exhaust [...]
Hey modeling friends,
Here is my completed 1/9th scale "Italieri" WLA 750 Harley Davidson.
Good kit, needs a lot of work and patience. I recreated the saddle bags, seat and holster from craft paper. Lots of weathering and [...]
Hello all,
the 1/9th Scale WLA Harley build continues with more work done on the bike and custom made saddle bags. The bags that come with the kit are essentially plastic boxes, so you should really make your own. I used craft paper, paper [...]
