This was not a easy build, but I had to do it. Here is the list. I started with a quad tractor. Cut off the back and capped it. Scratched the chassis and added dual wheels to the rear. Tank was made of evergreen plastic with a lot of Micro [...]

Getting Snarky

by Mike Grant on August 14, 2014 · in Aviation · 29 ≡

Revell's Northrop SM-62 Snark missile, originally tooled in 1957. A pretty basic toy-like kit, but a fun build. I sanded off all the rivets and re-scribed some of the lines, and added a bit of detail here and there. Revell supply decals [...]

It is high time again to announce our monthly winners. With the warm summer weather spreading across the northern hemisphere, July was a bit slower than usual with regard to modeling activity. At iModeler, it still meant 90 new headline [...]

Westland Lysander On Floats! Now this is how I would have done it.

by California Steve on August 12, 2014 · in Aviation · 13 ≡

This is one aircraft that begs to be modified with floats. I just had to do it! This is 1/32 scale and the crew is 21st Century figures. I have added some detail and wiring behind the instrument panel as this can be seen through the front [...]

More Pictures of the Revell 1/48 Type IXc.

by John Ezzo on August 12, 2014 · in Ships · 7 ≡

My love for U-Boats started back in the early 70's when I first read Herbert Werner's "Iron Coffins". I bought Revell's Type IX U-Boat as soon as it was out. The build was pretty much straight forward. The size of the hull (42 [...]

Built out of box. First time using salt treatment. The conning tower is insignia blue, ya, I couldn't belive it too but according to a couple of sites this was the color. Figures are from Czech Masters with some modification.

Almost scratch-built armored car

by California Steve on August 12, 2014 · in Armor · 20 ≡

This was built on the 1/16 scale Mercedes two seat race car. Not a prototype but my rendition of some of the early armored cars. Most of these were a one off built at the local boiler maker shop. I used the chassis and the rest is sheet [...]
