    Convoy

    This here's Rubber Ducky and we are looking for a convoy. Our group build this time is diesel tractor trucks. The start time is still undecided for the moment. So, there is plenty of time to join the build. The attached is the truck I bought for the GB.

    The Island of Misfit Toys.... er... Planes

    This group build we are wanting something unusual, something like a prototype or a failed project. It seems there are several prototype and/failed in the aircraft category. All are welcome, of course. Start date is open now. I'll be able to start mine this Monday or Tuesday. I have chosen the...

    My friend was a crew chief on a Black Hawk during Desert Storm. I decided I would like to build this kit for him.

    Fidget Paint Tray

    I saw this handy idea someplace, and tought to give it a try. It's a fidget popper. It is supposedly easy to clean up. I'll try popping it after the paint dries. It’s probably best to use acrylic paint instead of enamels, I'll probably test that therory later. I have not used it yet, because I...

    What to use‽

    I'm working on the panel lines on the F-4C. I saw on YouTube a modeler slathered his wash all over his aircraft. Then he cleaned off the excess with mineral spirits. I have been using Vallejo Model wash black and the mineral spirits does not phase the wash at all. So, now I have been using...

    Ratrod

    While I'm waiting for my F-4C Phantom to arrive, I decided to take a stab at creating a Rat Rod. This kit is a 1951 Chevy Convertible Sun Crusier from amt. There isn't too much flash. I usually don't build cars/trucks, but it was in my stash. I want to lower the body, but I...

    Remembering a Hero

    Ever since I had my red memorial bracelet for an MIA serviceman I had wanted to build his aircraft, an F-4C Phantom. I had upgraded my red bracelet and the name is slowly wearing off. Col. Peter Joseph Stewart was report as being a POW for 25 years. His remains have since been returned home as...

    Commission build Grandfather-in-law's farm/ranch truck.

    This truck must have been a hit for the person who bought the actual old truck. They must have seen the kit I built for my father-in-law (it was his dad's truck.) My, first commission build. Oh, and an adult beverage and vanilla Sutliff in the pipe. It's going to be a nice evening...

    PBY 5A Catalina 1/72

    I decided to buy this kit. I've always like the PBYs. This kit measures 10.6", 17", 3". This will probably be a fun build!

    To shake, or not to shake, that is the question:

    I've been pondering of getting a paint shaker. Does anyone use one, if so which one do you use, and what price did you pay? Or should I just shake it like a monkey on crack? That is the question

    P-61 Black Widow (Latrodectus mactans)

    I have wanted to build one of these beasts for a while now. A local craft store, (Hobby Lobby) has a very small scale model area and this week all kits are 40% off. I have heard of a few workable issues with this kit which should be fine. I'm planning to build this as is without any additional...

    27 year old A-6E repair

    This is a model I build for rehab of my right arm nerve surgery in 1997. For the panel lines i used a pencil. She has been mothballed in a box for 27 years. The Intruder is by far my favorite jet. Such a versatile workhorse. I was sad when they were all replaced. However, they did see action...

    U gonna wanna build this U-Boat

    This is another possible group build, start date is to be determined. We might wait until after the new year. Discussion is open to everyone. My idea is a submarine build. It can be anything from an Iron Clad, WWI, WWII, Nuclear, etc. It can be what ever you wish, as long as it's a sub. We...

    Please Read!

    Personal note: I know this isn't a happy topic, but I feel I need to share this. The holidays are a hard time for many people, especially veterans suffering from PTSD, TBI and depression. If you need to reach out, don't hesitate one more second and call the Veteran's Crisis Line at...

    UH-60A Black Hawk

    My sister gave this to me for an early birthday gift a few weeks ago. I have never built a helicopter. I've decided to build it for an army buddy who was a door gunner on a Black Hawk during Desert Storm... it's hard to believe that is has been over 20 years since DS. Should be fun!

    2 Birds

    These are two birds I saw at our park. The white one is an Egret, and the other little guy is a Spoonbill. Spoonbills are usually pink, like a Flamingo due to their diet of crustaceans and other aquatic species. I like how the setting sun back lights the Egret.
