A Tribute to Steve McQueen

by Joe Caputo on November 24, 2013 · in Automotive · 11 ≡

This model started life as a 1/12th Revell "Crusader" custom chopper. Using my 1/18th Porsche 917, Steve McQueen Le Mans version (die cast) as an inspiration, I got the idea to transfer it to a chopper as a [...]

Arado 196 in 1/32

by Rob Pollock on November 24, 2013 · in Aviation · 17 ≡

This is the Revell kit that was issued about three years ago. After a couple of 'clean' photos, I added a (modified) Verlinden figure, inspired by the photo at the end of this series. If you haven't built or otherwise seen this kit, it has [...]

Bell AH-1 Huey Cobra, "The Gremlin".

by Richard Mcstay on November 24, 2013 · in Aviation · 13 ≡

Hi guys, this is the old Vietnam Huey Cobra in 1:32 scale by Revell. I have no idea how old this kit is, older than me I think, as the it is no longer in production. I managed to find it on E-bay for a bargain price complete with extra [...]

Completely off-topic: which Dr. Who are you?

by Tom Cleaver on November 22, 2013 · in Uncategorized · 21 ≡

I'm sure among this collection of weirdos, I am not the only Whovian. As you all know, the BBC is making a Very Big Deal out of Dr. Who this week (been watching all my favorite episodes from the re-boot). They have a "Which Dr. Who [...]

1/32 Tamiya A6M3 Type 22 converted from A6M5 Type 52

by Thomas Lund on November 22, 2013 · in Aviation · 13 ≡

I've always loved the late model Zero with the long cowl, but at the same time thought the camo's were kinda boring. Got my hands on Tamiya's great A6M5 kit and decided to convert it to the A6M3 Type 22 flow by Hiroyoshi Nishizawa, Japan's [...]
