Another Year and Another Four Models

by Walt on January 3, 2022 · in Aviation · 14 ≡

I seem destined to never complete more then four models per year. Looking back when I am building, I only seem to be able to finish four per year. I guess considering my propensity of medium and larger aircraft in 1/48th scale I guess I [...]

My 2021- The Good, the Bad, the Lazy

by Jason Vukovich on January 3, 2022 · in Photo Collections · 6 ≡

Thought I would post my 2021 builds including a couple of misses (learning opportunities as a wise one would say). The "lazy" part of the title is that I build almost all my aircraft in flight but managed to only build one stand [...]

by Anthony Ricco on January 2, 2022 · in Automotive · 20 ≡

The mouse that roared

by Mark P Hartig on January 2, 2022 · in Armor · 14 ≡

Dragon's 1/35 Tiger II, done in 2014. I recall this kit being quite un-Dragonish as the instructions were mistake free and clear. The fit was superb, and the Magic Track links were a perfect friction fit that made assembly quite [...]
