Weathered Steel Garage Doors Made simple

by Charles King on March 3, 2022 · in How-to · 18 ≡

I did this many years ago. I thought someone might find it interesting. These scratch build, steel doors were made using thin aluminum plates I bought at a hobby store, which I cut to size, with a pair of scissors. I weathered using these [...]

P-47 Thunderbolt "Little Chief"

by Joe Bianco on March 2, 2022 · in Aviation · 13 ≡

Tamiya's 1/48 P-47 Thunderbolt build straight out of the box. I actually started this model sometime around 2001ish and had it about 95% complete around the time my daughter was born later that year. So for that and other real world [...]

by Christopher Amano-Langtree on March 1, 2022 · in Aviation · 6 ≡

Academy 1/72 IL-2 Stormovik

by David Adams on March 1, 2022 · in Aviation · 8 ≡

Finished this Xmas present that my daughter gave me. Academy 1/72nd aircraft kits are good quality (IMHO) but this kit maybe just a little over-engineered. The cockpit assembly is nicely detailed but I almost broke it trying to fit it [...]
