by Kenyon Patterson on February 22, 2020 · in Aviation · 12 ≡

So.. Found this horrible Lindberg kit at a discount store. I have long been fascinated by the GeeBee, and this kit was like candy to me. Could NOT resist. I imagined it would be amusing to build this kit in a dystopian sort of Mad Max [...]

À la recherche des maquettes perdu

by Aldo Missio on September 21, 2019 · in Aviation · 6 ≡

Monogram 1/48th FW-190: Almost out-of-the-box

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 [...]

Otaki 1/48 Focke-Wulf FW-190

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.

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 [...]
