And so after bringing my venerable old badger airbrush back to life and with an air can I painted the AA gun in field grey. Also seen here are the first stages of weathering. Hi folks I took these before I left for the States for radical [...]

Hi folks, this is my most recent build. It's an old Tamiya 1/24 kit of the 1989 Le Mans winning group C car. The car was a continuation of the partnership between Peter Sauber as a constructor and Mercedes as the engine builder. The number [...]

by Dan DeSilva on September 5, 2015 · in Aviation · 29 ≡

Presenting my F-117 that was finished a while back- finally getting around to posting pictures of it. Only aftermarket used was an Aires resin ejection seat. While researching the boarding ladder I realized that essentially they are [...]

1/72 Revell EC145 Rega

by Phil Steele on September 5, 2015 · in Aviation · 18 ≡

Look what just landed in the back yard ! (snicker snicker) I like building helicopters. I made new parts for both sets of rotor blades from brass rod, tubing and E string. This allowed free spinning for the photos and to prevent breakage [...]

by Jim Sullivan on September 4, 2015 · in Aviation · 43 ≡

I found this F7F-3N AMT kit to be a smooth build with no noticeable problems other than those that were self-inflicted. Despite filling the nose with lead, I found the model to be a dedicated tail-sitter. AMT must have been aware of that [...]

Protecting the power.

by Steven Bromley on September 4, 2015 · in Diorama · 7 ≡

OK I know it's a long shot as I don't if this ever actually happened but I'm currently building a diorama which will set a German AA gun on a platform protecting an electricity transformer tower. I still have some additions to put on the [...]
