Hello! I have been trying out the new ATOM paints from Ammo by Mig. I like them, but could not find a color reference for them. so I emailed the and they sent me the chart for retail display.

I am converting this Tamiya Me 262 to wheels up. Finished sanding and priming. I did a rush job on the cock pit and pilot, but I am not into cockpits right now. I am going to try the new AMMO by Mig ATOM paints. The primer is AMMO One Shot.

I am feeling like new Sci-Fi model kits are a little slim this year. I am waiting on Round 2 to announce some new Star War or Star Trek kits, maybe because there are no big franchise releases? Lots of good vintage re-releases. Did I miss any announcements?

Picked this up at my local hobby shop (The Model Cave in Ypsilanti MI). Some of the nicest texture and detail I have ever seen in a kit. Very excited to get started. But I can't figure out what the knobs around the ejector pin marks are for.

If you have not seen Godzilla Minus one, I recommend it. It also does a better job than most movies of having historically accurate planes and ships. Pretty cool. Here are a couple of write ups https://www.historynet.com/godzilla-vs-shinden/

One of the YouTubers I like is crazy about Clear Prop models. I thought I would give one of their models a whirl, and I liked the bare metal finish on this Curtiss Hawk H-75. So why not? My goal this year is to finish more models. I feel I am getting better, but need to work more kits beginning...

But no promises... I used Kits World 3D decals in the cockpit. They were to very good. I have been happy with Quinta Studios and Red Fox, but these are faded and flat. .

Another back to basics kit. I feel a bit calmer this time. I primed it with grey, and then was worried the blue would be two bright. so I took an old sprue, and primed the left side grey, and the right side black. Then U painted the main blue color on the whole thing, and added a dot of the...

What to do with old built kits? I don't want to assume anything about folks her, but is it true that most people keep and display their models? I am not interested in doing that very often. I will keep a couple around. But honestly, I find it a burden to kep the whole bunch. I hate to throw...

After trying to rush through a few kits, and abandoning them I decided to try a simpler kit. This Tamiya 1/48 Spitfire did the trick. I did get some Quinta Studios 3D cockpit decals, but other than that I am going to do it out of the box. Primer time! Stynyl Rez from Badger

I like this kit so far. One of my first jets. Working on the cockpit with the help of some Quinta Studios 3D decals. The sprues go up to "Z", but there are a lot of tiny ones. The fit is really good. I decided to make it wheels up, and was able to use the landing gear doors that came with the...

Hey all. I can no longer post photos. I get an "Opps Image is too big" error every time. Even if I export the image as less than 1mb in size. Any advice?

Hey any admin type. I just got an error on photos uploads saying they were "too big" but I exported them as JPEGs less Thant 2 MBs, so that can't be true. Is the server running out of capacity? or did a setting get changed?

I have two Air/Snowspeeders in my stash. I decided to start a new project building both at once. I do this a lot. I wanted to make Airspeeders for different environments. I decided on a sandspeeder and swamp/jungle speeder. I am using two kits: The Bandai and the Fine Molds 1/48 kits. I have...

This is one of the Bandai kits. I was inspired by a YouTube video from AllScaleTrek. I changed the solar panels to white like the TIEs in The Force Awakens. The idea is that those cool red imperial guards should have cool red ships need to get my light box set up.

I am building a lot of kits at once. These two are an experiment. I am building the old Tamiya Zero mold, and the new Airfix P-40. Both are 1:48 scale. With the Zero I am trying black basing, and with the Warhawk I am trying pre-shading. So far, I am liking black-basing a lot. I think the zero...

Since I was already working on 5 kits, I figured why not start another one? Moebius version of the original BSG Viper. With Photo Etch and lighting. I love photo etch. Super glue is super easy to work with. I did not cut myself once. We have always been at war with Eurasia.

This post is honestly not a troll. I know people have strong opinions about their airbrushes. I have two: My first was a Neo CN for Iwata. It is fine. I use it for lower PSI stuff, clear coats, and primer sometimes. I picked up a Paasche Raptor with 3 needles .25, .38, and .66. It is good...

I started a P-40 Warhawk. It is the Airfix Curtis Tomahawk kit, but I am converting it to a US Warhawk. I did not realize the that Airfix made the Warhawk version until it was too late. I used 3rd party 3D decals for the cockpit. These are "Kit- Linx" brand. I do not like them as much as the...

I have been looking for a good source for news about new sci kits, particularly Star Wars. Cult man does a good job. But I am trying to find out when Revell is releasing the Imperial Shuttle kits, or the new Mandalorian ship. Or if there are any other Bandai kits coming out. And if they were not...
