Update No. 3- Ju 87G-1 Stuka

I think this is the third update? Anyway, I am part of this group called "The Group Build Group" on Facebook. And on there, i saw this person who was building a 1/24th scale Stuka, and wished that he could do a night scheme for [...]

Photo Studio

Again someone said that he had to make a photo box and I said no you don't. I have used my work bench table top for my studio. I buy the white and other color's of paper which is flexible and pin it to my upright wooden shelf bracket. I [...]

Scribing Tools

Again, someone ask me about my scribing tools! I bought the 3 long handle dental pick's as they call them here in America in the mid 1980's, including what is called a "Pin-Vise." I was told by a fellow modeler to put a hard [...]

Airfix 1:72 Bristol Blenheim Mk.1

The famous RAF airliner/bomber/fighter. This is another fine Airfix kit, although with some rather fiddly bits that means that this is not for the inexperienced modeler. The cockpit glazing was 3 seperate clear pieces sandwiched in and [...]
