by Drew Tarter on March 27, 2013 · in Aviation · 9 ≡

Here's my version of Tamiya's 1/48 F4U-1 'birdcage' Corsair, finished in the nondescript markings of a Marine squadron based in the Solomons in 1943. This build was almost straight 'out-of-the-box' - the only things added were seat belts, [...]

by Drew Tarter on March 27, 2013 · in Aviation · 10 ≡

Holy Batcrap Batman!!!!! It's the Batmobile... Round 2's 1966 Batmobile 1/25 scale

by Chris Sakowski on March 26, 2013 · in Automotive · 3 ≡
