Joe's Ferrari

Here is a glue bomb I got from my best friend Joe Caputo about 20+ years ago. I started restoring it earlier this year and sent him pictures of the progress but sadly he passed away before I finished it. I think he would approve of the [...]

2020 builds

Due to my school closing down, I’ve had a lot of time to build my models. I built almost 2 times as many as I did in 2019. Almost exactly one year ago, I was in the Tamiya store at Singapore where many of this year's models came from. I [...]

1:48 Scale Trumpeter Savoia-Marchetti, SM-79 Sparviero (Sparrow Hawk)

This model was a build in the making of about four, maybe five years. One of those builds that was really intriguing at first, but was a constant interest loser for the rest of the time. I'd pick it up now and again, play around with [...]

Year in review. The year to forget 2020.

Finally got some Modeling Mojo, for a bad reason. Was not working during the original Covid lockdown, so I actually built some models. Amazing how much more energy one has when he is not getting up at 5:00 5 days. So I actually have a year [...]

Did someone say 2020 builds?

Hey y'all! This year has been utter garbage. Nobody can deny that. But amid the chaos, our wonderful hobby has flourished and prospered, with the exception of a few sad losses we have seen in the headlines. But no doubt about it, this year [...]

It's that time of year to post your builds, lockdown builds??? At any rate, here is my 2020

I was blessed (though at times it was kinda scary) to not ever have been locked down, as I work in an essential industry (dry wall manufacturing, nothing too exciting!) so I did not build as many kits as some who were forced to shelter in [...]

There's a Spad under the tree!

Well, this was a journey. Trumpeter's A-1H has its strong points and weak points. many of which have been written about by myself and others. So I will not belabor them here. Would I recommend this kit? Well, if you want a 1/32 A-1H [...]
