by George R Blair Jr on June 8, 2019 · in Aviation · 17 ≡

I wanted to do something relaxing, so I grabbed this old Monogram FW-190 from the stash in my garage. It also fits my keep-it-simple modeling philosophy. My plan is to build it mostly out-of-the-box and just concentrate on a decent build [...]

by James Kelley on October 18, 2016 · in Aviation · 7 ≡

An old kit from the 1970s, but went together very well. No putty or filler needed anywhere. Painted with Gunze-Sangyo acrylics, and markings are from an old Cutting Edge sheet. The only modifications done were drilling out the gun barrels.

Pegasus solid vinyl 1953 ‘War of the Worlds’ Martian

by George Tufnail on September 2, 2016 · in Sci-fi · 6 ≡

This is the Martian from George Pal's 1953 movie 'War of the Worlds'. This kit was a fairly simple build. I base coated it in Tamiya spray bomb fine grey primer. After that, the hardest part was hand painting all of the veins and [...]
