Academy XB-70 VALKYRIE JET AIRPLANE
I finished building this model in March of 2012, then I took it to the next model meeting. One question came up and some guys wanted to know why I painted it "Pink?" I replied by saying: "I found a photo of the real jet on [...]
Tamiya 1/20 scale 1997 Ferrari F110B Schumacher
This little race car is a great little model and a wonderful kit. I got to take this actual (real) car up the hill at Goodwood last year and as a tribute I wanted to build a model of it! It was great having the actual car available to me [...]
Monogram Apollo 11 vintage kit build
This Apollo 11 build was a commission build for AirBus in France and quite the challenge! I used a vintage Monogram 1/48th scale kit from 1970 and it is not very good. I basically scratch built everything using the included parts as a [...]

The base was made by using some more "Plaster-of-Paris." [...]

1/35th. STEGOSAURUS “DINO.”
This kit was made by Tamiya and was a good kit to build o.o.b; but the builder sure messed up building it.
