So you've built a 1/48 hangar, but the aircraft for the diorama are slow going. What does one do with an ongoing diorama project taking up a corner of the basement? Make it into a backdrop for photo shoots. Mr. Terry Davis gave me some [...]

Supermarine Seafang Mk.32 (Trumpeter 1/48)

by Dmitry Stropalov on July 31, 2018 · in Aviation · 22 ≡

First of all, I need to say that this is a "what if" build. There are two reasons for that: Trumpeter and Trumpeter. First reason is that model has a lot of issues with an accuracy, clearly visible if you're comparing with [...]

Adolf Galland, German Fighter Pilot Ace, WWII, 200mm Verlinden figure

by Adolfo Coelho on July 31, 2018 · in Figures · 18 ≡

The only 200mm figure I've ever made, it had to have some meaning. Him being a WWII fighter pilot Ace, and on top of that being my homonym, it was a good match 😉 Again, on the close-up, I notice the eyes could be better, but when [...]

US General Norman Schwarzkopf, 120mm Verlinden figure

by Adolfo Coelho on July 31, 2018 · in Figures · 16 ≡

USAF Fighter Pilot, WWII, 120mm Verlinden figure

by Adolfo Coelho on July 31, 2018 · in Figures · 21 ≡

Ok, here go those Verkinden figures I did some 30-35 years ago or so. I don't have an acrylic protection for them so for all these years they have been collecting dust on shelves, moving from place to place a few times... Glad they are [...]
