I love to start new builds, finishing however is the real challenge. Early next year I want to commit to a "side-by-side build" with a friend; during that build we are going to both build the same kit at the same time. But before that I want to clear my bench of some started shelf queens. This...

Hi SMA. It's been a long while since I've posted anything build related. Things have been very busy, so I've been modelling on and off, but really didn't have the time to post a build thread. Here's some of the stuff I've finished recently (and not so recently). I apologize about the photos and...

Hey everybody - I've been inactive lately but I wanted to post this link: http://www.wcrmc.ca/. The contest is this Saturday (June 6th),and is located south of Calgary in Nanton Alberta (home of the Canadian Bomber Command Museum http://www.bombercommandmuseum.ca/). I'll be attending, hope to...

I've got a few models which strike me as possible contest entries right now. All of these are not started, the 1:72 Academy FW 190 box actually has a BF 109 E in there as well. I'm not planning or even considering finishing all of these; I'm just not sure what I exactly want to commit to for all...

I'm just about to start in to the panel lining and weathering on this one. Nice, easy, and relatively inexpensive kit. Beats the Tamiya kit in that the wheel well is open and the HB kit includes a plug for the rear of the engine. Thanks for stopping in and taking a look. Jason

Good kit. I messed up the a bunch of stuff and paint scheme several times (no matter what I did it just didn't work out the way I'd like). Kind of a Murphy's Law type build. Finally I just said "it's done, let's move on"... Big thanks to Bullet21 who scanned a copy of his instructions for the...

I've nearly finished up two of my 1:48 builds (the P-400, and an A-4) so I thought I would try this out. Now Hasegawa and I have never really been friends, I know a lot of modellers love their releases but the kits I've built have been old, over priced and poor fitting. I picked this up at a...

I'm building this as a skill builder and partially because I was challenged to by a local club member. This is my first vac-formed kit. Should be interesting... The packaging. Instructions included in the kit. And the kit contents. Let the adventure begin... Jason

Just finished as a break from my more demanding, slow advancing builds. Think I over weathered it, but that's what you get when you model after drinking a pot of coffee. :P :) Jason

I started this kit around Christmas time. The kit was originally started by someone else, I had to strip the original paint. The only thing I've added after market was a resin seat, and I used the Eduard masking set for the kit. Most of the main assembly and painting work is complete, just the...

Will be held this Saturday (June 7th). I'm planning to post pictures from the show next week. Jason

I've been happily using Vallejos Model Color paints for a few years now. In the past I've used the milky white thinner with MC, and had very good results - the main issue was the tip of my airbrush would dry, and need to frequently be cleaned. I've read that the tip dry issue is less pronounced...

I have a small problem that I'm hoping the forum community here can help me out. I've lost my instructions to my 1:48 Hobbycraft A-4e/f adversary. If you happen to have a copy and are willing to scan it for me, please send me a PM. Thanks. Jason

This is my first entry for the contest. The Pioneer was the first allied jet propelled aircraft. The prototype aircraft was used as a proof of concept, and the E28/39 never went into production, however lessons learned from it were applied to the Gloster Meteor and indirectly to the Bell YP-59...

I know it's a long shot, but if you've got one and you're itching to part with it let me know. Jason

One of those builds that I had cooking in the background for a long time. Finished it up yesterday. Thanks for taking a look. Jason

Holidays are short and I'm determined to finish this one before I go back to work. I'm totally pumped for this build, I've mentioned it elsewhere but I'd totally like to thank my Secret Santa one more time. This will be my first time building a "limited run" / mixed media kit. Hoping that...

Hey Modellers, This is one of my shelf queens. :-[ I started this kit as one of my three 2013 BSC efforts. I just recently started in on it again - right now it's the queen I'm most likely to finish (although I'm still working on others behind the scenes). I've added a CMK cockpit and wheel...

It's been about two months since I've had the time to sit down at my bench and really build something (the Ta-183 was just finishing up something I'd already had started). Now things are starting to settle down; I've managed to finish up a course I was taking, and my home renos are at least...
