motivated by Kurt's recent build, I pulled this old Italeri kit out of the stash. Not a lot of parts, and the cockpit is really sparse, which will all that glass up front, really is the focal point o

Well since posting here has dropped off maybe a new subject will kickstart some things. Started a desert Matilda for an online group build. Here are the components; Tamiya's Matilda, Tiger Model Desi

This has always been on my top 10 kits to build in my stash. I try to build Luftwaffe aircraft primarily. It helps if they are BMW powered because I have a tendency to slide them up on the 'to-be-buil

So I put the Staghound aside for a while as I decide on how to weather it, and returned to this Tamiya Tiger I which I had in progress as the group build started. I showed this at our virtual club mee

Well, after seeing Kurt and Paul's beautiful desert-scheme 129's, this old Lindbergh kit line-jumped ahead of the Fiesler 167 for the next build! Yes - Lindbergh! Only about 20 parts. I had intende

I have to set the T-38 trio to the side to build an E-2C model for the online IPMS review. Interesting enough, the markings go well with our contest theme "Japan". Nice to build something with a littl

Ok I'm going to blame Kurt for me getting in on this, he was texting and badgering me about running silent and deep so far, so here goes. With a little luck I should have some progress photos after th

I this is going to be my group build.

Okay, hear me out. I’m starting with a completed build. When I got back into modeling a few ago this was one of the first, if not the first kit I completed. Ive never been thrilled with it, the colors

I started this last week and found that it is a real nice kit. I purchased it from the Brother's of Sprue as over trees. So I have no decals, instructions or pe. I got the instructions from Eduards si

I thought I had already started this thread, but can't find it... Anyway - while gloss coats are drying on the Hs 129 and the EJ Kai, I've made some progress on the Fiesler. Lots of elbow grease, fus

We'll - I've been at this for awhile, but might as well bring it into the conversation. I'll also preview here what I've got lined up next, as a "new start" for the Corona group build. Here are a few

So it turns out I like having a build going as I slowly get around to finishing previous builds. I dug around my stash and settled on this. The other thing I noticed is that our Corona Build participa

One of the displays that I have been wanting to do for a while is a collection of Grumman's aircraft. I have two maybe three built already but I need to get off of my can and start something towards t

Ok truth be told I got a little bit sidetracked with this project instead of just finishing off the Lancaster first. I know none of you other gentlemen have never, ever had that happen to you. So the

This is the AFV Club 1/2 track. The individual link tracks by AFV were also used. The kit tracks were very good but I opted to use what I had in stock. The conversion to a munitions carrier was done u

Decided to start another what should hopefully be a quick build with the new Tamiya 38(t) kit. The next real build I wanna work on is a Hetzer, so doing a 38(t) seemed appropriate. I built up most o

So I wasn't sure where to post this for everyone to see, but this topic is so active I thought a new conversation for off-topic stuff might be in order. So I just ran across this report that Osprey P

So as this GB was coming together, this box arrived at my front door, slightly the worse for wear. It is Italeri's T17E2 Staghound AA, a WW2 4x4 armored car configured for AA protection. Staghounds we
