    'Hunt the Tiger' - anyone ?

    There's another one called Flames of War. I've heard a few good things about it, but I've never seen it played or played myself. It's something I'd be interested in learning more about. http://www.flamesofwar.com/ Can anyone who knows more about either system comment?

    Your best quick tip/technique/diy

    I do this with beer bottle caps. If I run out, it means I need to drink another beer. It's a win-win.

    1/48 Hasegawa Voyager 1 Space Probe

    Great work. The PE is a nice touch, I didn't get that when I built this a while back. Im not a big fan of the base, I ended up replacing it with a wooden one.

    20,000 Leagues Over My Head

    The preshading didn't come through as nicely as I would have liked. Its barely visible in a lot of places. The metallic paint I used seems to have covered it up pretty well. I had to lay it on a little thicker than I would have liked to get good coverage. I'm thinking of going back and...

    20,000 Leagues Over My Head - COMPLETE She's finally done! Had some free time this week, so I was able to complete the base, squid and the main ship. You can see the pictures below. I'm pretty happy with how it turned out, but there is still some more I might do. I may add some rust stains...

    20,000 Leagues Over My Head

    Thanks for the link Ozzman. I like what he did, but it looks a little too rusty for me. I'd like it to be a little neater. I'm going to try and preshade the panel lines (like in this video) then I'm going to add Model Master Burnt Iron overtop everything. Hopefully that will end up looking...

    20,000 Leagues Over My Head

    Another update my fellow seafarers. I was able to get a base coat down on the sand base, as well as some color on the squid itself. I like the color, but I wonder if its too bright. I'm definitely going to tone it down with some other, darker washes on top, but I'm not sure if its too...

    Colonial Viper MKII

    Nice job. I used the decals when I built this kit, and it was definitely a mistake. Your paint job looks much better than the decals do.

    20,000 Leagues Over My Head

    Man, how jealous I am of people who can work on their kits every day. But, nevertheless, I keep pluging away at this one whenever I can. Final construction is complete. All PE details added and the thing is ready for the paint. The Photoetch wasn't as bad as I originally feared. It went on...

    Very cool, I'll have to see if I can find a copy of this somewhere, I don't if any local newsstands carry that mag.

    Pz.Kpfw.III Ausf.L Late IPMS Build Review

    I'm not sure I'd say its "totally different" :) Very impressive build, the weathering looks especially good.

    20,000 Leagues Over My Head

    Some slow progress, as I've been busy with a lot of family projects and home repair/improvement type projects lately, but the build goes on! Main body assembly is largely complete, as shown in the pictures below. Assembly went fairly well, with no major glitches. It's nice to work on a model...

    20,000 Leagues Over My Head

    I've been on the road the last few weeks, so I wasn't able to progress on this, but I kept thinking about it, and I finally made it back tonight and was able to start making some headway again. I'm working on masking all the windows and getting the main body put together. As you can see from...

    20,000 Leagues Over My Head

    No new picture tonight, just a minor screw up on my part. I had dipped the salon windows in Future earlier in the week, and let them sit for 48 hours to cure. They came out great. I had installed them earlier today and was getting ready to glue the main body together. As I did, I noticed...

    20,000 Leagues Over My Head

    Found the base you are talking about via a Google search, its very nicely built. It looks like he even added some other custom elements to the ship as well, such as a Gatling Gun. Very impressive indeed. I was planning on using the enclosed squid base, which I really like. It remains to be...

    20,000 Leagues Over My Head

    I don't think so, mainly for time constraints. First, as it stands, this is probably the most complex project I've attempted to date, and I didn't want to add even more to it. Second, I'd really like to get this done by the end of the summer for an IPMS show, and given things like family...

    20,000 Leagues Over My Head

    Thanks for all the comments so far. I appreciate them. I finished up the interior today, adding an oil wash over some of the furniture pieces and sealing it up. It's almost sad how little of this detail will be visible in the final model, but I think it was good practice. I had some issues...

    20,000 Leagues Over My Head

    Just a quick update. I've painted the entire interior and hit it with a coat of Future. Next step will be an oil wash after the Future dries. Made one minor change. My wife said a Cpt. Nemo would totally have a red leather couch, so I repainted the sofa, which I think was a good call...
