I am a freshman in college. My model building interest started in the summer before my 8th grade year. I originally started by building only ships but branched out to tanks and aircraft.
This was a pretty fast build. Due to the pandemic, my school got moved completely online so I’ve been having a lot more time for my models. On Tuesday, as I was watching the election, I kept seeing the American flag come up and that gave [...]
On Wednesday, my school which was online that day cut 75 percent of the day so I only had 2 hours. After finishing homework, I spent almost the entire day working on the sky raider and managed to finish it. The only thing I added to the [...]
Since I have quite a few family members who served in Vietnam , I was inspired to build 2 more Vietnam war planes. The 1/48 Sky Raider from Tamiya has been great (though I did make a horrible mistake with the seatbelts l) but the 1/32 [...]

After I messed up on the wing constitution, I decided to add some heavy weathering to the plane to try to cover up some of the extensive amount of super glue that I used.
I wanted to build a 1/48 scale tank and I chose a Churchill Crocodile for the project. I also wanted to see if I can hand paint small letters so I decided to put Fury on the barrel. The accessories are from miniart.
Eric Gieske and I got together a few days ago and we both made a model unboxing video for out channel: History Bros ((link)). I don't really have a lot of time to build models now since I am taking all honors and AP classes where possible [...]
