by Peter Foti on June 25, 2020 · in Sci-fi · 19 ≡

Scratch built model of the Airlock from the movie Alien (79). Built from polystyrene sheet, Evergreen, & 3D printed styrene. I mostly worked from a production sketch by concept artist Ron Cobb, and a few frame grabs from the film. The [...]

1/35 Flying Truck

by Peter Foti on June 25, 2020 · in Sci-fi · 18 ≡

This is a scratch build inspired by the paintings of concept artist Ian McQue. It’s built from styrene sheet and detailed with kit parts and Evergreen. Finished with Acrylic paint, hairspray chipping and oil paint weathering.

A "pro tip" for us all.

Well, I am certain that everyone who has, at one time or another, thought to themselves, "Tom, you're so negative," will be happy to know that I am indeed. Negative. Got "the call." Shelter in place. Wear a mask. [...]

by Gordon Zammit on June 25, 2020 · in Aviation · 6 ≡

RAF Chinook used during the Falkland War built from the Italeri CH-47(HC.1) kit no 064. Built straight from the box, but modified some details according to the photos I found on the net of this Chinook. Still there might be some mistakes [...]

This project began shortly after i took GYPSY 203, a VF-32 Tomcat built for John Lawler, to the IPMS Nationals in Phoenix. Having enjoyed building the Tamiya Tomcat, i wanted to build one for myself. I was inspired by an issue of SCALE [...]

1/72 Matchbox Provost (Pk-30)

by Gordon Zammit on June 25, 2020 · in Aviation · 7 ≡

I built this from the original Matchbox kit (2 colour) that was issued in the mid 1970's. I don't know if it was ever issued under Revell (it seems not). The decals had the usual residue of the Matchbox decals of the era when applying [...]

Airfix 1/72 MIG-15

by Dennis Meyers on June 25, 2020 · in Aviation · 7 ≡

My fourth monthly ‘staying-at-home, no-frills, stash-reduction, build and paint’ project--June edition. A nice little kit that was one of Airfix's new generation. Apparently it received mixed reviews because the fuselage is a little [...]

by Terry Schuler on June 25, 2020 · in Aviation · 16 ≡

For years modelers dreamed of a well engineered 1/48 Spitfire model that was accurate and well detailed. Finally, Eduard answered those calls with a very nice kit, and have continued to entertain us with various versions of this iconic [...]

Stearman PT-17

by Scott Nelson on June 25, 2020 · in Aviation · 17 ≡

Here’s my Revell Stearman PT-17. This was the first time I tried rigging with micro tubing and ring anchors. It was a tedious process but, it sure looks good when done. Better than cleaning up and painting tank bogie wheels! ? I think I [...]
