F 84 E Academy 1/72 . 2 years old...

by Simon Whitney on October 1, 2015 · in Aviation · 34 ≡

Well here it is, started 2 years ago and now finished. Not so much a hard kit, just other builds came along. Tamiya and Alcad paints were used along with Vallejo varnishes. The kit decals were s***, but I used the stencils from them. The [...]

Starting to paint figures.

by John Richards on September 30, 2015 · in Figures · 19 ≡

I have been adding figures to my models to crease the look and feel. I have practiced and now I am satisfied with my style and way of painting figures. I do not do it the most artistic way. At first I sat with a book and webpages open [...]

COD HELP US!

by Rob Anderson on September 29, 2015 · in Uncategorized · 7 ≡

Well I haven't posted in a while, I got moved (finally) back to day shift, and in the meantime I have been plugging away at my C-2. One of the first things I did was get the shape of the APU exhaust opening the right shape, Kinetic has it [...]

ARII 1/48 Nakajima Ki 44 "Shoki" (Tojo)

by Joe Caputo on September 29, 2015 · in Aviation · 12 ≡

The Ki 44 was a Japanese Army Air Force interceptor. The ARII kit, while old, was at one time, "state of the art", and is still a no-problem, fun build. By today's standards, there's not much detail, but this kit comes from a [...]

Martin Baker 5.

by Paul Kirsopp on September 29, 2015 · in Aviation · 8 ≡

Hi all. Here's one I made some time back. I think it's a Silver Cloud kit in 1:48th scale. The kit decals were shot so the spares box saved the day. It also supplied the weapons, I've no idea what it would have carried so it's a little [...]

Happy Dance Time

by Jack Mugan on September 29, 2015 · in Aviation · 28 ≡

My prize arrived the other day so I can hardly wait to get into the build. Thanks to Martin and the guys for choosing my model of the Challenger I. This site is the greatest!

1/48 F-101B Voodoo

by John Healy on September 29, 2015 · in Aviation · 19 ≡

This is one of two Monogram Voodoos that I purchased back in 1985, when they were brand new. I built the first immediately, and it ended up on the backyard target range for my son's pellet gun circa 2001. When Caracal Models released [...]

Auerochse 54mm

by Hans Wilhelm Fischer on September 29, 2015 · in Figures · 4 ≡

The Auerochse of Kellerkind-Miniaturen is not yet finished. Just to show a bit of my work. To give the Auerochs it a more realistic look I altered it a bit. Changing the - in my opinion - exaggerated muscles, would have destroyd the [...]

Virtual Vignette

by Dennis Meyers on September 28, 2015 · in Figures · 4 ≡

I used some digital image editing apps to place my Love Resin piece from an earlier post (Cutting Edge Figure for a Cutting Edge Soldier) into the Afghanistan countryside. Starting with an image of the figure, I used Photo Shop to overlay [...]
