Building, painting and finishing scale aircraft models.
A quick build over Christmas of a Soviet VVS Mig-3 fighter in a weathered but not totally worn through winter camo scheme from a 1/48 scale Trumpeter kit. I tried out going for some more aggressive chipping effects but didn't really like [...]
Happy New Year to all and here are my builds for 2022.
I think I had a pretty good year, almost all were old kits. Some were repeat builds from the late 60's to the 80's and some were first time builds. I had a blast with most of my [...]

This wasn't one of my more productive years in terms of total output, which means I need to add a couple of years to my life expectancy if I'm going to complete my stash before I move on to a better world! I would have to mostly blame [...]
