1/48 Tamiya Citroen Traction 11CV Staff Car

by Steven Davis on September 26, 2013 · in Armor · 8 ≡

Wanted to build something fast that didn't cost an arm n leg to test out the dot filter technique I see others using. This is the end result. A basic interior, simple chassis and no engine detail to see but the oil pan. Painted using MM [...]

The Kinetic 1/32 F-86F done as an early RCAF Sabre Mk. 6 (hard leading edge wing) with Harold Offield's cockpit set and Leading Edge decals (which include the resin "sugar scoops" that are the visual difference between a Sabre 6 [...]

1/72 KP Convair XFY-1 “Pogo”

by Joe Caputo on September 26, 2013 · in Aviation · 7 ≡

No floats ! Not much "landing gear", either. Basically this was a simple little kit, with not much detail. No major fit problems, but not much to look at when you're done. I felt that it filled an interesting void in my [...]

Just wrapped up one of my club project commitments. Our club is working on a ongoing display of aircraft as they relate to Florida. Our plan is to use the collection to represent our club when asked to display at libraries etc. These good [...]

Yamaha YZF R1

by Richard Mcstay on September 24, 2013 · in Automotive · 14 ≡

Hi everyone, this is my Yamaha R1. It's a Tamiya 1:12 kit, and the kit had been sat in my wardrobe still in the box for about ten years! It was originally the Taira racing kit but I haven't really followed the colour scheme. I managed to [...]

Trumpeter Hurricane Mk IIc Trop 213 sqd.

by Paul Wilsford on September 24, 2013 · in Aviation · 14 ≡

I received this kit from a friend a while back and I started it then. That was about a year or so ago. Since then I lost some pieces, had a really bad time with my skills on the pit and the engine so there it sat, in the stash awaiting [...]

GI Joe's Toys Into Art

by Mike Maynard on September 24, 2013 · in Uncategorized · 8 ≡

First off, I had nothing to do with these exceptional figures. The workmanship is so good I want to share it with our group. Since I can't model a decent figure, in any scale, these G I Joe upgrades blew me away. Someone emailed me these [...]

Again, another big, wasp-free video for a very little subject!

1/24 (or 1/25) Revell '53 Corvette Roadster

by Joe Caputo on September 23, 2013 · in Automotive · 7 ≡

For those expecting another seaplane, surprise ! This is the Revell '53 Corvetter Roadster, (the instructions do not clearly give the scale) which I've wanted to do since I saw the Panamericana version was an option. This was the [...]

Coulda been a contender-Trumpeter’s so close 1/32 P-40B….

by Bill Koppos on September 22, 2013 · in Aviation · 19 ≡

So close...it almost looks like a P-40B. That beautiful, pointed-nosed Curtiss fighter, the best looking of the line, and bearer of the "Sharkmouth" to perfection. BUT something is wrong here, looked at from the front low, it's [...]
