Finally completed! 1/24 R-R 1931 Phaeton
Finally managed to complete this model!
Had some issues, like having lost a couple of parts (for most of them luckily I was able to duplicate them using Blue Stuff and Milliput, but being tiny little pieces, and being my 1st time casting [...]
1/48 USMC VMAT-102 TA-4F conversion
Hi all, this is a companion build to the TA-4J I posted earlier. I started it with a Hobbycraft A-4C. When the Hobbycraft kits first came out, I bought a B, an E, and two C kits sight unseen (no reviews/photos beforehand). I was a bit [...]
Monogram 1/24 1931 Rolls Royce
this is a Rolls Royce Phaeton…the old black buggies in the westerns that the doctors drove…like “Doc Adams” on Gunsmoke were called Phaetons…it basically means open , no side windows…these were called open cars or coachs and [...]
Revell (Monogram) 1/48 F-84E Thunderjet
The war the fighter-bombers engaged in during the Korean War was a bloody one, a war unrelieved by opportunities for the kind of public acclaim the Sabre pilots received. Writing in “Officers in Flight Suits, The Story of American Air [...]

1931 Rolls-Royce Monogram 1/24
After a very long pause on this hobby I'm trying to re-start it. Have a lot of kits still on their original boxes, different types and scales.
I'm now assembling and painting the model listed on the title (and at the same time starting [...]
The Three Soldiers pt.4
The final display, upon which all three kits are nested, needed to be planned to be separated for transport.
My initial idea was a circle with a chevron cut out to resemble the wall at the actual location in D.C. The base would cut into [...]
The Three Soldiers pt.3
I wanted to render the last kit as the statue on display in D.C.
The actual statue is not a monotone bronze color, but instead has the uniforms, equipment and weapons colored with epoxy paint. Bare skin areas are left ‘in the rough’ [...]
The Three Soldiers pt.2
Second of the models (all Gold), I just rushed, trying to accomplish a one day build, resulted in improper fits and the necessity to reposition the mid character on the base - not according to assigned holes. Yep - had to drill my own [...]
