HobbyBoss 1/48 Bf-109F-4

by Boris Grgić on July 21, 2018 · in Aviation · 16 ≡

My first experience with Hobby Boss models. I decided to step away from modern era models and take a trip to WW2 machines. I choose a cost-friendly, $23 Hobby Boss kit. I encountered absolutely no problems assembling the plane. Level of [...]

HMB Endeavour, Cased

by Rob Pollock on July 21, 2018 · in Ships · 16 ≡

Some of you may recall my HMB Endeavour (refit) project from a few months ago. After disappointment at the competition at the Milton Keynes show, it went on to win Best in Class and Best in Show at the West Norfolk IPMS Regionals a month [...]

Tamiya 1/48 Avro “Type 464 (Provisioning)” – 100th Anniversary of the RAF Group Build

by Tom Cleaver on July 20, 2018 · in Aviation · 17 ≡

by Won-hui Lee on July 17, 2018 · in Ships · 8 ≡

Nothing was done in four weeks. It's too hot to work. I made a small diorama that I could easily make for practice before starting my next project. I was impressed by the picture of the captured u-505. I made it into a small diorama now, [...]

The Three Soldiers pt.4

by Lawrence Wells on July 17, 2018 · in Figures · 14 ≡

The final display, upon which all three kits are nested, needed to be planned to be separated for transport. My initial idea was a circle with a chevron cut out to resemble the wall at the actual location in D.C. The base would cut into [...]

The Three Soldiers pt.3

by Lawrence Wells on July 17, 2018 · in Figures

I wanted to render the last kit as the statue on display in D.C. The actual statue is not a monotone bronze color, but instead has the uniforms, equipment and weapons colored with epoxy paint. Bare skin areas are left ‘in the rough’ [...]
