Cowling at the moon.......

by Rob Anderson on January 11, 2016 · in Uncategorized · 5 ≡

Happy New Years everyone! I am finally done with the cowlings for my COD. The Kinetic kit provided the basic shapes, but that was about as far as they got. The configuration of the scoops and vents was hit or miss at times and in other [...]

My Revell 1/48 Boeing Pt-17 Stearman

by Paul van Acker on January 11, 2016 · in Aviation · 16 ≡

Happy new year all. Here us my first for 2016. I loved every minute of this build. Went together like a dream, my wife picked the colour scheme, and I got through it with no problems at all. If you have not done one and want to, get one. [...]

"No Man's Land"

by Joe LoMusio on January 11, 2016 · in Diorama · 13 ≡

This is the old Emhar 1/35 scale kit of the Mk. A "Whippet", which I added to a base that included the excellent WWI British soldiers by Master Box. I wanted to create a bombed-out, desolate, depressing landscape that illustrated [...]

Dragon 1/35 Sd.kfz. 250/11 Ie SPW with Panzerbuchse 41

by George Tufnail on January 10, 2016 · in Armor · 4 ≡

That title is quite a mouthful for such a delicate little thing. Another OOB build. 96 pieces just for each of the tracks, but they were articulated when I was finished. Full interior with driver figure, too! Finish is MM '39-'43 [...]

Hasagawa 1/48 F-86F-40 Sabre of the J.A.S.D.F.

by George Tufnail on January 10, 2016 · in Aviation · 5 ≡

This is an other OOB build for an in club contest from a few years ago. Finish is overall aluminum with minimal weathering. Fun build, and fairly quick, too. All of the decal stencils were in blocks, and weren't too much of a challenge. [...]

I build cars, too! Tamiya 1/24 scale curbside Porsche Boxster

by George Tufnail on January 10, 2016 · in Automotive · 3 ≡

Another OOB kit for an in club build contest. Since this is a curb side kit, I didn't have to mess around with an engine or engine bay. There was some paint detailing on the underside, then the interior was finished up in greys and [...]

1/48 Hasegawa F-18. I had originally bought this kit as a spares kit, I paid $5.00 US for it. I bought it from a friend who got it from the original owner. The original owner had attempted to build it using superglue and not sparingly [...]
