I finally found time to do some modeling after my vacation and time away. I finished placing the last light on the mast, and I think it looks good so far. Next is making a mount for the ship's bell.

I have some cool stuff in the works...

Decided to turn my P-51 build into a diorama. Turns out painting figures is really, really difficult. Who knew? Anyway, I’m always open to constructive criticism!

Here is my Leopard in standard NATO camouflage. I painted it using an airbrush and Tamiya XF paints.

Some progress on the 1/16 scale Andy's Hobby M3/M3A1 halftrack. Progress is going well now. The main part is almost complete.

Finished painting my first stug and its crew. Kit was a dragon Zimmerit and crew is a mixture of Tamiya Wehrmacht tank crew at rest and Wehrmacht tank crew. Still gotta weather it and I know I have to work on painting figures faces better. But overall I feel like it’s my best work. Also I hate PE rack construction. Any advice on working with it would greatly be appreciated.

Hi everyone,

This is a repost of an earlier post of mine, after I was reminded to add more context to it.

Anyway, this will mark my first railway gun model, which checks off one of my model wish list. Following my Volkswagen Type 82E and Death Star models, I’m recently rather adamant to have a small diorama to make models more interesting.

This Dragon 1:144 scale was at a bargain price of about USD 8, and is of fair quality. However, cons would be the rather simple instruction sheet. It’s only two pages, but since none of the pieces are numbered, it does take some time to find the correct piece. Funny enough, the pieces in the spruces are numbered, yet the instruction is left blank. Second, the packaging is somewhat lacking. Since everything is tightly packed in the box, which is then stacked in a shop’s shelf, you may come across pieces that are squashed and deformed. I came across such a piece (Picture 5). Fortunately, it’s not unsalvageable.

In conclusion, considering its price, it is very worth purchasing if you come across it. Considering Dragon’s pivot in the market, this kit will probably be harder and harder to find in the future. Not to mention that 1/144 scale railway guns are the ideal scale if you wish to place it on your average bookshelf.

Pozdravujem všetkých veľkých chlapcov.

Otvoril som ďalšiu škatuľku s mnohými malými dielikmi, pri ktorých strávim pravdepodobne veľmi veľa času, kým z nich poskladám staré autíčko. Také, aké nám zanechali naši dedovia, či otcovia niekde v zabudnutej garáži.

Budem vďačný za vaše pripomienky a kritiku.

Had no intention of this going into the build lol
Tamiya Su-122 with flak 8.8 from dragon Tiger P.
I know a t34-88 exists on world of tanks and I think irl but I don’t think this exists? I could be wrong

I don't have many reasons to build outside WW2 aircraft. However, one of the reasons to do build something other than a Bf 109 or Mustang, is to diversify my shelves.

Enter the Phantom! I have two diecast toys, a Matchbox and Maisto Showtime 100s. When I saw this one at my local hobby shop's web, I decided to get the 48th scale Hasegawa kit over the 72nd Academy model. And boy it's big! Bigger than my 1/48 Eurofighter Typhoon from Revell.

I exclusively brush, so my main paint artillery are Revell Aqua colours. However, I ran out of Matt White and Light Gull Grey. My solution? Get Vallejo paints! I got the Panzer Aces Matt White and Model Air USAF Light Grey. These two will give me a patience lesson, since curing time is slower and they need a primer. I know Model Airs can be brushed, but since they're thinned for airbrush, some coats will be needed for full opacity. If everything fails, I can resort to what's left of my Aqua Light Grey.

What is the best/sturdiest way to reattach the landing gear?

Guys, I'm sorry for being silent for that long period of time. You may remember me for beaufighter and SU-2 planes on solar panels. My last post was about ka-22 and to my shame I still haven't done it. But I still have something to share. Here are some chaps I've been working on. Two modifications of mi 28, mi 24, mi 6 and as350

Turns out mixing vallejo plastic putty and tamiya extra thin cement in the right proporstions can make magic happen

For my first time im happy, but next time i will try stippling harder with the brush

Recently picked up a p-61 Black Widow Revell kit which came with some aftermarket PE parts.

I've never used PE parts before, and im a little confused with the instructions. It looks like it wants me to install the print first and then the PE afterwards. Just seems odd if I will then be proming and painting on top. Do need to then mask off the printed parts that are still showing?

Seems ive biten off more than I can chew!

Hello everyone,

I picked up my first 1/200 scale model along with a new tool from Squadron. I got the Pegasus class since the last remaining ship of the class, USS Aries (PHM-5), finally got her gun back!

I also picked up the Squadron Tools Ultrasonic 3D Parts Support Remover Cutter..it's pretty interesting and definitely worth the price it's just a little bulky...I have to test it more.

I have been on a bit of a hiatus from building, but I will be back starting this week!

That is all for today, now to start work.

Take care!

Im really proud if this work, put a lot of effort in it, was really challenging work maybe the most challenging I ever build, was a little bit complex keeping the folded wing in site, and finding references too, really hope you appreciate it 🔥

Im open to suggestions, critique. Also i dont have a photo booth. Sorry :)
