50 years old and just entering back into the modelling world. My models are mostly OOB, with only slight detailing..ALL paint is either through a spray can or by brush.
Edit...i've now invested in a compressor and airbrush, so now i'ts a steep learning curve, mistakes WILL be made! lol
OK, after my recent success i decided "Go big, or go home", so this ones BIG!
The Hobby Boss "Dora".
At 1/72nd, it measures 44 inches (base) long, 2800+ parts.
When the box arrived, that was BIG also (getting the [...]
Well, this kit has turned out to be a total PITA. Yes it's a skill level 5, but come-on Revell, at least make your instruction understandable!
To get this far, I've used MORE filler than on my previous 2 other kits, the inner cargo bay is [...]
THANK YOU SANTA, ok, thank you to the Mrs.
Next build, and it'll be a LONG one to boot. Revell's 1/32 Tornado Gr1. At 55.1cm, this one will take pride of place in our living room, IF i can do it justice.
I know it's an old kit that's been [...]
JUST finished in time for Christmas, ( and the start of my Revell 1:32nd Tornado).
My son purchased this kit about a month ago, (along with a 350th Bismarck) and asked me to help him. This usually means "Can you do it for me [...]
Built this A6 by Italeri a LOT of years ago. So i thought i would take some time to give it a good clean up and repair.
Originally, it was sprayed only with "rattle-can" in (i think) Humbrol Primer grey, and a standard [...]
Just built these 2 for my son who wants to build a "D-Day" themed diorama (meaning i'll end up attempting it)
Straight from the box, few parts (but some very tiny). The only thing i wish i had changed is on the Jeep. That is the [...]
A nice little build made up of 76 parts.
Supposed to be a s
"snap-fit", but some/most parts were fixed with Tamiya Extra Thin cement.
I used a rattle can for this with the red being a shade i liked, and not necessarily the [...]
SO, while i'm out of action with a busted right shoulder rotator cuff, (yes, i'm right handed) i thought i'd post this model that my 15 year old son originally started, and butchered, of the iconic Toyota Supra.
He originally hand painted [...]
Started on a model for myself for a change, the Revell Lancaster Mk1/111.
Spent ages on the interior then offered up the two halves and what can you see?...NOTHING.
I will also attend to the nasty seam lines (which i've never been able to [...]
Hot on the heels of my last Chieftain being handed back to it's owner (1 week to be precise), i have been asked to build ANOTHER!
Learning from mistakes made on the last one, here we go again!
Also, first time using a Matt Black Primer [...]
