MiG GB – 1/48 MiG-19PM.
This is my contribution to the MiG Group Build that Sebastijan Videc was so kind to start and moderate. It’s an early Trumpeter kit from around 2004 that’s been in my stash since at least 2009. It’s a solid kit that assembled [...]
Video: Tamiya 1:48 P-51B "Blue Nose" Mustang
This was a project I wanted to do for a while now, paint something with D-day stripes and natural metal. A very satisfying project, I especially like the blue nose. #tamiya #P51Mustang #plamo
Russian T-55 Medium Tank MI958
This tank kit is another fine example of a quality factory model. It had next to no flashing and the parts fit together with no problems.
It looks like I made some hand/foot brackets from my different size's of modeling wire. They were [...]
German Gun Truck
A wonderful kit to build and of course I got some more sandstone slabs to put this model on. Everything went together just fine and it was painted with my Tamiya paints.
Another armor model is on its' way!
Enjoy!

Roundup of recent builds
Well, I realised that I hadn't uploaded my last few builds so here is what I've been working on. First up we have the new Tamiya Spitfire in 1:48. A great kit despite the errors in it. This will be featured in a new series in Model [...]
A nice WW-II German Car:

Prince of Wales in 1/350 scale from Tamiya, 2nd... part
Well ... I couldn't keep the weekly updates because I meant too many things. Here is the second part of my slow work. I use Tamiya paints diluted with Tamiya Lacquer Thinner, the colour specification comes directly from the kit [...]
1972 Tamiya 1/48 Ki84. Attempted stressed metal build.
Another cheap as chips kit! I grabbed this when i picked up the previous Tamiya Raiden which was also a '70's vintage kit. Being so cheap i thought i would continue my exploration of techniques and stumbled across the stressed metal look. [...]
1/72 Trumpeter M1A1 Mine Cleaning Tank
After I built my Patton tank in 1998 I continued to build more of armor models. Here's another one that I built in February, 2016.
The real tank had what they called a "Blade Cleaning System " attached to the front of the big [...]
The Cadillac Engine
The engine was easy to build. I added spark plug's and their ignition wires, including a coil wire. I included an engine and transmission oil dip sticks.
The wooden pallet represents the kind of "skid" that they put engine's on [...]
