Lately I've been trying to collect a lot of my model kits from my childhood. I have recently seen many kits both on eBay and Facebook Marketplace which are listed as "NEW" but are indeed open box (no shrink wrap) but with sealed parts bags still inside. I don't know if I'm just being pedantic...

Thanks guys! Youli: I hadn't thought of the fact that they were that old! I just remembered having them when I was growing up. How the time flies. Jaitea: I know some may disagree, but ROTJ is my favorite of the three. And with the tie interceptor in there, there is no better way to...

Thanks everyone for the encouraging words. This build was a lot of firsts, but the results was way past my original expectation. I've learned so much from each of you over the last two years and every bit of it was in these kits. @Scott. That x-wing kit is a beast. I think I trimmed off all...

This is a build I did for a friend who is a big Star Wars fan. This was my first time ever lighting a kit (as well as working with any type of electrical wiring) and creating a custom base. There was a lot of learning experiences from this project that I will take with me moving forward. A...

She looks absolutely amazing! I can only hope that mine turns out half as well, once I get the courage to start it. :P

Thanks Rookie. The woods decks are great, and I can't wait to see it all on. They have a much better sense of scale than the molded detail, but they have no finishing on them so I'm going to need a thin varnish to protect them. Thanks Q. My ETA to completion is about one year. Since I plan...

Just a quick pic. I removed the necessary detail from the poop deck and dry fitted the timber decking. What a huge improvement over the molded in deck!

I didn't get as much done as I would have liked in the first week. There is a lot more to do on this kit than I first realized. First off was drilling out the portholes. With 1,346 portholes on the actual ship, it took about 5 hours to drill them all out by hand. and that doesn't include the...

Hello everyone, I've been looking at this kit in my closet for over a year now and finally decided to open the box and get started. I've loved the story of the Titanic since i was a child and for the ship itself, I would say I have become quite enamored with it. Over the years I've learned as...

Sir, the possibility of successfully completing a kit with one day left is approximately 3,720 to 1. No wait, those are the odds of successfully navigating an asteroid field. :P Either way you are madly ambitious, and I cannot wait to see this finished! I love the idea!

YF-19! That's the plane that made me fall in love with anime. Very generous of you Q!

That is absolutely awesome. Fantastic finish, especially for one of those old kits.

It looks absolutely amazing to me! Just like the real thing did. Senna would have been proud.

Wow... just wow :o :o :o :o

She looks absolutely amazing! :o You did a fantastic job, especially in such a short amount of time.
