Hi all! I'm taking a trip back in time with my first WWII build, the Dragon 1/35th 2cm Flak 38 auf Pz. Kpfw. I Ausf. A! (phew, thats a long name! :o) I just got this kit today and i couldnt resist getting started on it since its something different from my modern armor builds! one thing ive...

Hi all, With the recent finish of my Revell Luchs A2, I wanted to try my hand at figure painting to break from building armor. Also, I have several diorama ideas in mind so I wanted to get some practice at figure painting. My kit of choice is the Dragon 1/35th German Waffen Grenadiers 1944-45...

Hi all, As im in the weathering stage of my Revell Luchs, it came to my attention that with the AK Interactive Enamel products and with oil methods, as they usually involve some sort of brushwork to fade them, im finding the previous layer of weathering either coming off or blending in with the...

Hi all, With the paint drying on my Luchs and my need to put glue to styrene, I decided to start a new project. With inspiration from a NatGeo documentary about private military companies, the film District 9, and the Meng Pickup in my stash I developed a concept for an armored pickup. The...

Hi all, found this on my YouTube recommendations list. Its a nice documentary about German WWII Self Propelled Guns and the development and use of the different vehicles. Its great to learn about the different chassis/gun combinations used. The narration sometimes gets lost in the loud...

Hi all, I found this video on YouTube about the Soviet/Russian T-72 tank and its derivatives. Its completely in Russian but there are some nice clips of the tank in action, the autoloading mechanism, etc. Might be of use if you plan to build a T-72 or at least give you some nice ideas for a...

Hi all, Just wanted to show the latest work ive done, not in plastic or resin, but in 0's and 1's. As part of our aerospace engineering studies, we have a group project where we design the wings of an aircraft (in our case, a business jet). Here's a quick render from CATIA, the CAD program we...

Hi all, working on a new project, this time the Revell SpPz Luchs A2. I lost some steam on the Tamiya Merkava over the summer and decided to start a new project to get back into model building. Its a fairly old kit and its details are not up to today's standards but for the price, it will be a...

Hi all, just got back from my summer holidays and moved into a new apartment so just to get all my tools unpacked, i did a conversion of a Tamiya FN Minimi to an M249. I used some styrene sheet to make a replacement stock and heat shield. Who knows, it may find a way into a later...

Hi all, I'm currently in the planning stages of a long term project which will be a diorama set in Afghanistan. My intention is to portray a M1130 commander working with an Air Force TACP team to call in air support. Since the main focal point will be the AFV Club M1130, i would like to spend a...

Hi all, im starting a new build, the Tamiya 1/35th scale Merkava I. Upon first look of the sprues, i could see where the "shake and bake" reputation of Tamiya kits comes from, even though kit is circa 1983! :o the kits has crisply molded details but there are still some visible mold seams that...

Hi everyone, I thought that for my next build I'll try my hand at a build log! The subject will be the Revell 1/35th scale Kanonenjagdpanzer. It will be OOB but I'll try some detailing to improve the kit. If you would like to add any constructive comments, please feel free to do so! It would...

Hi everyone, just got done with the Zvezda 1/35th BTR-80A. I got this kit mainly as a cheap test kit to learn new techniques and to get accustomed to AK Interactive products (which are great, btw). Quite a number of issues with this kit, especially when fitting the upper and lower hull! It was...

Hi all, I just completed my first scale model vehicle, the 1/35th Revell TPz Fuchs in German ISAF scheme. Admittedly my painting and weathering skills are still in development but I'm pleased with the result. Construction was relatively straightforward although the suspension was quite...

Hi everyone! I am a aerospace engineering student new in the world of scale modelling, I basically got into the hobby after spotting some kits at a local hobby store when picking up some materials for a model railroad project. Although im working on a degree in aerospace engineering, 1/35th...
