by Marek Halas on December 1, 2017 · in Aviation · 19 ≡

MPM's 1/48 Finnish Morko Morane of HLeLv 21 based in Rissala, Summer 1946. A real oddball this one, & some folks may already be doing a double take at this point, possibly thinking isn't that a Morane Saulnier MS 406? Well, yes it is [...]

FFG Imperial Assault AT-ST

by Aaron Newlands on December 1, 2017 · in Sci-fi · 4 ≡

As this piece is from a miniature game the build is quite rudimentary. A handful of parts snap together tightly and don't require glue. Overall its not too bad especially if space is a big limitation for you. It has decent detail though [...]
