Finished this up today so that my hobby tables would be available for Easter dinner (paint stains and all!) Have built 5 of the new tool Airfix kits in the past year. Had more issues with this one than the others. That being said I think [...]

by George Henderson on April 15, 2017 · in Aviation · 18 ≡

This was originally going to be the oddball "beer truck" version as shown on the box-top but investigation has led me to believe that this is now a myth at least as depicted by the aircraft shown. I have found pictures of an [...]

Did I Tell You I Like Jugs?

It took a week longer than I expected but, here's the second of my 1/144 P-47D razorbacks from Platz. I think this one turned out a little better than the previous one. I had to do some reshaping on the tips of the Curtis Electric prop [...]

HMS Victory – 750 Hours In

by Rob Pollock on April 14, 2017 · in Ships · 21 ≡

I thought I'd post a few WIP photos of HMS Victory, as I'm now 750 hours into the project. With the hull, deck and its accoutrements now complete, from now on, everything goes up/out from the decks. The cannonades and 32-pounders have [...]
