Model Trailways Horse Drawn Hearse 1/12th scale

While I await the weather to cooperate so I can get to my next project (Kawasaki Ninja H2R) I have been encouraged to share this build. The kit itself was kind of junky most of the wood parts except the wheels were great, laser cut [...]

Curse you Red Baron!

Atlantis re-pop of the classic Monogram kit. My wife got it for me for Christmas, what a fun build and trip down memory lane. I used aftermarket decals and hand painted the tail stripes rather than using the stickers

2023 in review

I might get one last one in, but likely not. I got Snoopy's Sopwith Camel, the Monogram re-pop from Atlantis for Christmas, but despite its' simplicity I doubt I get it done by Jan 1. So here are. my 2023 builds! Bandai 1/72 X-wing (if [...]
