Atlantis (ex-Aurora) "Classic Plastic" TWA DC-9, 72nd scale
This is one that I just completed; it's the Atlantis Models DC-9-15 (or thereabouts). This kit appears to be a re-issue of an ancient kit, which I believe was originally Aurora. In any event, the kit is very basic, and consists of parts [...]
Flying Sub inbound!
Well it was a bit of a struggle, but mostly a lot of fun. It took 2 cans of Tamiya fine white primer and 2 cans of Tamiya Camel Yellow spray, so the paint cost about 1/2 what the kit cost! I am pretty happy with the overall result though [...]
M-109 S.P. Howitzer,1/48.
Another attempt at armor, this I've had around I don't know for how long. It's Aurora's last issue[1976] of the M109, where they added the long gun option, I added rudimentary recoil spades in the rear, the kit provided one massive unit [...]

Orion III Space Shuttle refurb.
This is Aurora's space clipper Orion from 2001 Space Odyssey. it's a1975 issue. Another one I couldn't get rid of. I was originally going to refurb it sitting on top of a Saturn booster, that's how the story in the instructions said it [...]
Aurora/Monogram Sherman
This is Monograms reissue of aurora's 1/48 M-4 Sherman, it came in a combo kit with Monograms 1/48 Fw-190.
Being not much of an armor guy I wasn't sure how to detail it, Having lost the decal sheet, I was going to try for the tank from the [...]
Dad’s survivors
These are kits my father built during his retirement before he passed and returned to Mars in 2012, he had a lot more but I couldn't keep them all. Each one has a little elec. motor in the nose, he installed little leads to run it up by an [...]
“Big Fish” – Rotterdam Oude Haven, 1952
Here's an aircraft diorama I worked on for about three months (250+ hours). The overall size makes it difficult to photograph, so apart from a few overviews at middle distance I've included several shots of local areas in the scene. [...]
