More Bill Bosworth Cool – 1/32 Curtiss A-8 Shrike
Bill Bosworth's latest:
Curtiss A-8 Shrike - 1/32 vacuform scratchbuilt.
We're not worthy! We're not worthy! 🙂
MiG-21R for the 'Under Another Flag' GB
So just about eight weeks on this one, everything you see (except the roundels & side number) is straight from the Eduard box, no after-market used at all.
Paint is all acrylic and all mixed 'until it looks about right'. And therein [...]
30 - Airfix 1/6 – Skeleton "What I'll look like when my model stash is finally completed." @gwskat
It's Mr Bones, an ancient Airfix kit from 1965. Was fun to do. My wife is a high school biology teacher and so he now hangs happily in her classroom.
Pegasus 1/32 Aerial Hunter Killer from T2
This is my rendering of the aerial hunter killer from Terminator 2: Judgment Day.
The kit went together well and was very Bandai-like in how the parts fit. The only modification was replacement of the molded compressor fans with resin [...]
SR-71 & XB-35
A friend of mine was given two old kits , he asked me to build them for him. One was a 1/72 Revell SR-71 with a drone mounted on top...
the other was an AMT/Ertl 1/72 XB-35 flying wing...
The SR-71 was simple to build. If it had been [...]
Revell 1/72 Shackleton AEW
Here is my Shackleton built pretty much out of the box but I added screen wipers and detailed the cockpit.
An unusual scale for me although it is still quite a large kit when finished.
The model was finished with Tamiya XF's and, as I [...]
Eduard 1/48 P-51D-5 Mustang "Nooky Booky II"
2nd kit of 2023- first time building an Eduard kit.
Overall it was a mixed experience, detail was amazing inside and out but definitely a level of "fiddliness" that was frustrating.
Some self inflicted wounds along the way as [...]
Otaki 1/48 Nakajima Ki-84 Hayate "Frank"
Another old build that I decided to do a little work to. This was originally finished as a factory fresh build since the markings are from the second prototype of the Ki-84. This is an Otaki kit that was first released in 1973. Not too [...]
Team Suzuki ECSTAR GSX-RR '20 – Tamiya 1/12
When George @chinesegeorge posted several of his beautiful bikes and Spiros @fiveten created a special bike group, I could simply not resist to enter with a kit myself. Although no experience at all with building motorcycles, I definitely [...]
Clash of the Titans
I've always wanted to do a diorama of 2 tanks that have rammed each other and then got stuck.
I'm quite happy with how this has come out. There is quite a lot going on here, but I think it captures the frenzied panic of everyone trying to [...]
