1/48th Boeing B-52H Stratofortress

by Thomas Probert on July 18, 2018 · in Aviation · 15 ≡

Evening all, I thought you may be interested to see my latest 'work in progress' - Sanger's 1/48th scale B-52 vacuform. I've been plodding on with the engines and wings, and the accompanying pictures show my progress so far. The basic [...]

1/350 DKM U-505 was Captured

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’ [...]

The Three Soldiers pt.2

by Lawrence Wells on July 17, 2018 · in Figures

Second of the models (all Gold), I just rushed, trying to accomplish a one day build, resulted in improper fits and the necessity to reposition the mid character on the base - not according to assigned holes. Yep - had to drill my own [...]

Dedicated to my big brother. My model showcase is a tribute to my brother and other Vietnam Vets. Just like the original statue at the Vietnam Veterans Memorial, each kit depicts a sense of unity and sacrifice; I wanted to depict alternate [...]

Karaya 1/48 Ansaldo A.1 Balilla – VVS RKKA, 1924

by Maxim Bylkin on July 17, 2018 · in Aviation · 16 ≡

Hello! I represent a fresh model, still the paint has not dried up)) - Ansaldo Balilla from Karaya. The model is not bad, but it's going to be a little more complicated than, for example, their Martinside. Mainly because of the braces. The [...]

1:1 Military show action

by Clive Seabrook on July 17, 2018 · in Photo Collections · 4 ≡

A couple of shots from a very dusty Capel Military Show in southern England. The Sherman crew have deliberately been cropped out for wearing white tee-shirts and in one case, long blonde hair! Not much scale modelling going on while we [...]

Review: iModeler Review – Meng 1/35 Jagdpanther Ausf. G1

by Boris Rakic on July 17, 2018 · in Reviews · 6 ≡

After its announcement last year, Meng finally released their new Jagdpanther in 35th scale. The subject choice does not come as a huge surprise, seeing as the last new tooling of this vehicle is Dragon’s 2007 kit – and Meng has [...]
