Honda REPSOL

by Brian Mennenoh on June 4, 2023 · in Automotive · 18 ≡

The idea for this build began as I followed several bike builds in the Motorcycles Group. Between @bikequeen, @chinesegeorge and @johnb I knew I needed to attempt a bike build. I did some looking at my local hobby shop and on Amazon and [...]

Trumpeter 1/16 T 34/76 Model 1942: The relationship between scale and weathering

by Rafi Ben-Shahar on June 4, 2023 · in Armor · 10 ≡

At some point I got curious about how it is like to build one of the 1/16th scale AFV monsters. Trumpeter's T-34 that comes with interior detailing satisfied my curiosity. It is a solid and easy AFB build thanks to the large size of parts. [...]

by Thomas Pepe on June 3, 2023 · in Automotive · 11 ≡

Revell 1/24 Scale 1966 Ford Shelby GT350H

by Thomas Pepe on June 3, 2023 · in Automotive · 7 ≡

I started this build MANY years ago with gold painted stripes under a clear coat. The Monogram Revell side decals were so bad that I couldn't use them. I contacted Revell two more times complaining that the side stripes went on milky [...]

Blohm and Voss Bv141. 1/48 Hobbyboss.

by David Paul Cope on June 3, 2023 · in Aviation · 21 ≡

This is an aircraft that has fascinated me since I first saw the 1/72nd Airfix kit, which I think was first released in the early 70's. The Hobbyboss offering has few issues other than the poor representation of the engine and wrong handed [...]
