Is there a gallery for completed builds or do we just post the pics in our build treads?

And nearly complete... I thought I was done then noticed I forgot to add the red tail light. Better pictures soon... Thanks for watching! ;D

I stripped the chrome off the wing parts and sprayed Alclad polished aluminum in its place. The effect is far more realistic. The decals are from the kit and are really nicely printed, with very little carrier around the print. And its at this stage I really forgot about taking pictures, ran...

I guess an update is in order. :P I was really chugging along on this build and forgot to take pics most of the time, here are a few I did take... Engine joined to the chassis. And the chassis more or less complete...

Havent seen that movie yet, this makes me wanna see it even more.

Id recommend a Tamiya 1/20 scale kit for a first time build, they are a bit simpler in construction and still offer great detail. The newer releases are a bit pricey but you should be able to find some of the older kits at a decent price.

AS with most car kits, the build starts with the engine... In this case, engine, gearbox and rear suspension. The engine in an F1 car is a stressed member of the chassis, so a few extra braces too. I added some ignition wire to liven things up a little.

Ok, its been a while, why the heck are my pictures not showing? :-[ Inserted the links using the html tags from my facebook photo album. edit: Created a photobucket album instead.

Started this build last week and figured it was time to post some pics... The Kit is Hasegawa's greatly detailed Ferrari 312T "1975 Monaco GP Winner" in 1/20. Comes with markings for both team cars, Niki Lauda #12 winning entry, and Clay Regazzoni's #11. The car is featured prominently in Ron...

Purchased from ECH I might add. Just had a look at the box contents... that is a sweet kit!

Havent been on SMA for a while, and my track record with group builds hasnt been the best... But really tempted to join in on the fun... A quick scan of my stash and I find one kit that would qualify (maybe a few more if I did a bit of digging), Hasegawa's Ferrari 312T '75 Monaco GP winner, as...

Here are my pics... 1/32 Tamiya Mustang (the only one on my that I actually have) 1/32 Tamiya F-4E Phantom 1/20 Fujimi Williams FW16B 1/20 Fujimi Ferrari 126C2 1/72 Railgun (Dora)

Wow, That looks great.

No new pictures to post yet. All the sub assemblies have been built, so Im starting the painting process now, might still have some seams to fix. I stumbled accross this picture this morning on facebook. Its from a Life magazine collection and features the K72 canon in its natural habitat...

That system is supposed to hit us later today plus another storm on Friday. We could have up to 2 feet of new snow on the ground by the weekend. So much for Spring starting tomorrow.
