So what's everyone using for dayglo these days?

by Rob Anderson on December 29, 2019 · in Uncategorized · 18 ≡

I got the great Atlantis B-52 X-15 re-pop for Christmas, and am looking for a good fluorescent orange/red-orange to use. I know there are more choices out there these days, so any favorites? Rob

Tamiya 1:48 Scale, Dewoitine D-520

by Frederick J Seitz III on December 29, 2019 · in Uncategorized · 12 ≡

Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays everyone! It's been a wee bit since my last post, but I figured with the end of the year so close at hand, why not? Anyway, I had this kit sitting up in the stash, and I saw one in a video about the early [...]

1/450 scale La Real French Ship.

by Rodney J. Williams on December 29, 2019 · in Ships · 1 ≡

This is another model built o.o.b with a base, including some paper flags. On final assembly I noticed that one big sail had the wind coming into the sale at a different direction while the wind was coming into the other sail at an [...]

A Spanish Galleon

by Rodney J. Williams on December 29, 2019 · in Ships · 3 ≡

This was another o.o.b. ship model which was easy to build. Like my Roman ship, I used the kit's plastic sails. All the sails on both ships looked realistic to me. I think I added some white paint to the sails, but I don't [...]

ROMAN WARSHIP 50B.C.

by Rodney J. Williams on December 29, 2019 · in Ships · 2 ≡

Are you tired of building cars, airplanes and armor, then try a ship or two. This model was small but that's ok as I have built other small models and they don't take up too much space in your house. The model was built o.o.b and the kit [...]

Eduard Fw 190 A-8: An Arctic Wurger

by Pedro L. Rocha on December 29, 2019 · in Aviation · 22 ≡

My last build of 2019 is the excellent 190A-8 in 1/48 scale from Eduard, released sometime this year. I had been waiting for this kit ever since the first A-4 version was launched, for so far (and probably for a long time) no other late [...]

1/48 f-18d atars; bosnia

by Dan DeSilva on December 29, 2019 · in Aviation · 4 ≡

When I first saw a picture of this airframe in a magazine (shown in the pictures provided), I wanted to build it. Black Box released an ATARS conversion shortly after and I snapped it up. As we all experience, the kit and conversion [...]

Not another Mustang! Or: why it is always worthwhile to build a classic again.

by Roland Sachsenhofer on December 29, 2019 · in Aviation · 11 ≡

With well known aircraft types, the model building enthusiast may be inclined to quickly think "not again..." and then quickly turn away interest. The thought, however, that every single aircraft was connected with individual [...]

1:25 Revell 1965 Chevrolet Impala SS 396

by Matt Minnichsoffer on December 29, 2019 · in Automotive · 4 ≡

I haven’t posted any builds for a while now, and I built this 1965 Impala last summer and am just now getting to posting it. I’m glad I did—because my wife gave me a cool, portable light booth for Christmas, so I figured I’d spend [...]
