by Chuck A. Villanueva on November 16, 2017 · in Armor · 13 ≡

A change of pace in building something that doesn't have wings. With a few armor and soft skin kits in the stash, this one was quite interesting picking it up at a kit show a few years ago. When it comes to armor I tend to lean towards [...]

Eduard 1/48 Fw 190D-9 JG 301

by Stan Traas on November 16, 2017 · in Aviation · 10 ≡

F1 Super Anti-Gravity Race Car

by Charles King on November 15, 2017 · in Sci-fi · 15 ≡

Here is a What-if model I built some years ago. The inspiration for this model was put into reality after seeing Igor Sobolevsky wonderful 3D art station work called 'Axiom Racing'. His 3d version is just breath taking. The scale is 1/20.
