1/32 Tamiya T-Rex

by Dan Lee on May 23, 2020 · in Diorama · 11 ≡

I made this one for a friend who is a big dinosaur guy. It took longer than I thought because I'm not a wildlife modeler and dealing with the headaches I had figuring out how to redo the surface detail such as scales and seams around the [...]

Hobby Craft 1:48 Scale Morane-Saulnier Ms-406C

by Frederick J Seitz III on May 23, 2020 · in Uncategorized · 14 ≡

Hobby Craft kits... What can I say that hasn't already been said? Soft on detail, shape issues, sometimes out and out incorrect... However, they did subjects that many other main stream manufacturers did not, or would not do. While the [...]

Marseille's other ride...

by Stan Traas on May 22, 2020 · in Aviation · 10 ≡

Tamiya 1/48 Kubelwagen with Peddinghaus decals & some Eduard P-E. Decent little kit. Decided to put it in Aviation. 😉

Objekt 272 T-10M, Meng 1//35

by Wes Pennest on May 22, 2020 · in Armor · 5 ≡

This tank is the evolutionary dead end of Soviet heavy tanks. Some people mark the IS-4 or IS-7 as the final example of eastern bloc heavy tanking, but the T-10M has the distinction of being the last of the dinosaurs to shuffle off to the [...]

1/48 Tamiya AR-196A Arado Seaplane

by David Kopielski on May 22, 2020 · in Aviation · 10 ≡

This is the Tamiya 1/48 Arado AR-196A German seaplane. It is a re-box of the Italeri kit. I did the scheme as one of the aircraft that was used on the Bismarck battleship. The Arado Ar 196 was a shipboard reconnaissance low-wing monoplane [...]

P-38G Lightning: Tamiya's latest!

by Tony Prince on May 22, 2020 · in Aviation · 26 ≡

A long awaited kit & very much overdue as well. This one has taken me a long time to finish as I was hoping to find some aftermarket decals to make it a bit different from the OOB selection. Hannants have some expected but not yet, so [...]

Academy 1/48 P-47N Thunderbolt

by Mike Licari on May 22, 2020 · in Aviation · 12 ≡

This was a fun build! I've never had much luck with Academy's decals, so when I found the cool Hawaii ANG sheet, I was set. Although maybe basic by some standards, I think the cockpit builds up nicely after a wash and drybrushing. Same [...]

D9R – ‘Major Overhaul’ Diorama – Stage 2

by Charles King on May 21, 2020 · in Diorama · 26 ≡

Ok. Here we go, again,guys. The diorama. It looks complete but it is not. I still have to include the overhead crane, a couple more details, corrugated sidings at both ends with some details, and a welder figure. But so far, things are [...]

by Alistair Gauld on May 21, 2020 · in Aviation · 4 ≡

Hi There, This wee kit almost built itself. ~Everything fitted and only a minor amount of Mr. Dissolved Putty was required for the wing edges. I wasn't certain what the interior cockpit colour should be so went with RLM66. Painted with [...]
