Christmas ornament

nothing spells Christmas like homemade Christmas ornaments. So, this is mine for 2020. Made with Super Sculpey and painted with acrylics and oil. If any of you played hack and slash RPG in early 2000, you might know where the inspiration [...]

End of the year, clean up and new project

Well, having just finished my 1/32 A-1, I was less than satisfied with the build. Turned out great, but I didn't enjoy it much. I thought about it and it was the same for the past few larger builds I had done. I decided one thing was my [...]

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 [...]

Empire of Japan-Fujimi 1/48th Aichi D3A1 Type 99 Val IJN Pearl Harbor

The Val is my first entry to The Empire of Japan Group build. The Fujimi Val is not as detailed as the Hasegawa offering, but shape wise it is pretty accurate. A kit from the mid 70's, but it does have fine engraved panel lines. Just [...]

I'm getting "exhausted" with this build

Continuing with the A-1H. One thing that is notable about most pictures of Skyraiders is the heavy exhaust staining and general grime on the aircraft. I did mine using a combination of pastels and airbrush. Footprints and stains on the [...]

Slightly modified Staghound. 1/35 ITALERI

Well here is my story. Some say it's true. and most say it isn't. The call was out for a rough terrain anti aircraft vehicle . At reasonable costs. Soooo, four shock absorbers, four leaf springs, and a extended steering control arm all in [...]
