by Anthony Ricco on February 23, 2023 · in Automotive · 52 ≡

What a beautiful bike and an amazing kit. I absolutely loved this, one of my favourite models so far, I would definitely recommend it to anyone. I lost the exhaust pipe so had to make one from some sprue, carefully heating it up and [...]

by Robert Royes on February 23, 2023 · in Aviation · 21 ≡

This started out as Revells 1/72 P-47M. Until my twisted mind spent too much time figuring out what scheme to choose. The result is a somewhat updated Thunderbolt. Utilizing modern ground attack weapons, some additional bumps and antennae [...]

Ford GT - Tamiya 1/24 with Photoetch and LEDs

by Brian Mennenoh on February 22, 2023 · in Automotive · 19 ≡

I purchased this kit and the photoetch for it about a year ago. I had a bunch of other projects I was doing for friends that took precedence for quite a while. I was also stalling as I was a bit intimidated by the PE. Elements of the PE [...]

by George Damian on February 22, 2023 · in Aviation · 13 ≡

In the never ending search for the elusive realistic and at the same time artistic weathering effects for model airplanes I subjected a FW 190 D from Tamiya to some refined techniques. I went for the RLM 76 Lichtblau - RLM 82 Hellgruen - [...]

MiG-21R for the 'Under Another Flag' GB

by IAN JACKSON on February 21, 2023 · in Aviation · 16 ≡

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 [...]

by Anthony Ricco on February 20, 2023 · in Figures · 23 ≡

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

by Carlos Gomez on February 20, 2023 · in Sci-fi · 7 ≡

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

by Jay Mitchell on February 20, 2023 · in Aviation · 24 ≡
