Grumman X 29A, 82-003, NASA, USAF, 1984 - 1991.
1/72 Hasegawa, built so long ago I don't remember when, finished in mainly MM enamels and metalizers with Future over kit decals which tended to fall apart.
The After Moving, “I gotta build something!! ” Model Build… 1:48 Scale, Hasegawa, Ki-27 Ib ‘Otsu’
My wife and I have recently moved from our home in New York to the state of Florida. With all the hoopla attached to such a move, little has been done by yours truly as far as building a models is concerned. If I recall, the last model I [...]

This aircraft, 829 Squadron, HMS Victorious, attacked the Tirpitz, 1944.
Mustang IV. 19 Sqn. RAF. Late 1944.

Atlas 'Big Foot' 1/32 scale die-cast Excavator Weathering
This excavator was given to me as payment for weathering the farm die-cast models I posted not too long ago. I kept the weathering at a minimum on this 1/32 scale die-cast model. This will later go on a diorama specially built for it, [...]
First Wooden Puppet
A short visit to the Czech Republic gave me a glimpse to the world of puppet making. The first attempt was aimed to make a Child, but the face could not come up nicely. Some one said that when you make a puppet, a bit of you gets into it. [...]
„Tentando Superabimus”
„Tentando Superabimus”
