So the 1/700 kit I had done was always what I considered a trial run for the larger 1/350 kit. I wanted to go all out with the larger and take advantage of larger details so I splurged on the Eduard Big Ed photoetch set for it. I was not prepared for how large this kit actually was. Just the...

Skipped any construction pics since it was built straight out of the box However, I am trying out rigging for the first time. A bit out of scale, but it is really hard to find something in this scale. Next time I might try some superfine thread instead Using Scale Colors paints. Navy Blue 5-N...

First the MH-53 Sea Dragon This is a pretty big model for 1/72 as the real life subject itself is quite a beast It also is apparently one of the more dangerous aircraft as far as crashing. From what I understand it is still very much a manual machine that is still fly by wire rather than lots...

This is the newer/updated Hasegawa one I choose the Battle of Midway deck markings I remember one of the US dive bomber pilots (Dusty Kleiss I think) describing the Rising Sun painted on the decks as being like a giant bulls-eye target. Although that was a reference to the Kaga specifically...

Having nearly completed the Trumpeter 1/700 USS Yorktown it kind of stoked my desire for kits of the aircraft (I still have more aircraft and some touch up paint for some of the added guns/antenna and flight deck) At any rate, I searched for proper kits of the various aircraft used, and so I...

It has been decades since I had been to this museum (last time I was there they had that german WWII jet) At any rate, over time thy rotate or trade out old and receive new aircraft for the displays. Also lots of really cool models inside as well This is what they currently had starting off...

Someone is primed to make a goldmine I am sure this won't end badly or in scandal when an "underdog" is scripted to win https://www.cnbc.com/2023/03/08/wwe-betting-scripted-match-results.html

This is the Italeri kit representing the gulf war Unless I am mistaken, the color scheme for the low vis of these jets is Dark Ghost Grey and Light Ghost Grey I used Vallejo Model Air 711120/FS36320 Dark Ghost grey However, the decals in the Italeri kit are a near perfect color match and...

This is the Trumpeter 1/700 kit with White Ensign Models photoetch one of the pain points is some of the photo etch is just too fragile/small to work with, In some case things like the railing are so thin that it is impossible to cut off the etch set without damaging it also even if I was able...

Not sure what audience this is for but... Kind of soft on detail Might need some after market decals for print, or maybe some resin upgrades to make the edges more pointy :) https://connexetoyshop.com/syuto-trash-model-kit/

How/what glue do you use to attach canopies I have been using the Testor styrene cement or CA previously, but neither is a great solution CA can sometimes fog it up, and the testors stuff can sometimes ruin the paint, or yellow, or even fog as well I have seen some dedicated clear canopy...

Great Wall Hobby has an amazing kit. I remembered seeing a review in Fine Scale Modeler and originally picked it up because out of the box you can build one in take-off position without needing any after market parts There are 4 different marking options, 2 CAG birds, and one in High VIs...

I have always been fascinated by carriers, and as a kid, had built a few...badly...and used them as toys I have always wanted to revisit building one, especially now that my skills are vastly improved I picked up the Trumpeter 1/350 Nimitz and some photoetch for it, but felt I needed a...

Usually I build aircraft gears up as I prefer seeing them in flight, but after picking up the Italeri 1/72 Carrier flight deck kit, I needed to start building a few gears down I cut the wing flaps and repositioned to mimic a pre- take off type of position still need to finish the decals and...

It seems most if not all 1/72 kits for modern jets like the F-18, F-14 etc.. all give the special or unique "high vis" markings for the CAG birds, typically more colorful fancy paint jobs from what I understand they pick one or two birds (typically the CAG and CO) and paint them that way Is...

Forgive me in advance if this is a dumb question, I usually do sci-fi subjects but have gotten the bug to build some real world military subjects... I assembled these a while ago and just went with what the instructions had. I did not take into consider any of the weapon sets available and knew...

I sprayed a model a couple of days ago with. Coverage on it was horrible over a black base so I quickly rinsed it off under water. After letting things dry, I did a coat of Tamiya XF-20 to cover most things. once dry, I airbrushed a coat of the missions models stuff and the color looked perfect...

Been working on a bunch of these recently. They are supposedly 40mm (I think somewhere around 1/43? maybe) O scale stuff seems to be a decent enough match even if on the smaller side The largest bases for models like She Hulk are 50mm (2") for a point of reference You get lots of fun stuff on...

I have been painting up a bunch of Star Wars Legion stuff recently. Mostly Hoth themed stuff at this point I'll have to get some better pictures of some of these, but for now.. IMG_3517_1 (2) IMG_3518_1 (2) IMG_3521 (2) IMG_3275 (2) And they pair nicely with the Bandai 1/48 Snowspeeders...

So I have been busy since 2016 :D Picking up where I left off before the site went dark,,,this is where I am at with my collection 1/1000 stuff (except for the 2 old school models on the far right that are more like 1/750 I think)
