So today I begin work on the D9R, and while assembly seems to be going smoothly with MENGs higher quality kit manufacturing I have come to realize that even with the kits aid in higher end detail I have to make decisions on when to paint and how to paint before I get to far in the build and the...

The Meng armored bulldozer kit was on a dream sheet of mine for awhile but I could never buy it for my self with out raising the eye brow of the bank master hmm I mean wife. And the F-16 aggressor was a total surprise pick from my son after I supplied him and the the wife with shuttle hints...

So I've picked up another kit from the hobby lobby 40% off sale the Revell 1:72 F-22 Raptor. I picked this kit up cause I felt it was worth my time and had a chance of being decent because the F-22 is a rather newer kit. How ever I'm at a point in the build were I'm just down right confused...

So I've been busy polishing a turd.. I mean trying to paint the revell Saturn v rocket sorry I get things mixed up some times lol... But while I was working on that I had to make a paint run .. Being the money smart and savy (sarcasm included) responsible person I bought a bunch of colors I...

While I wait for decals to come for my A-10 build my local hobby was having their monthly sale on Scale Models. I wound up getting a Saturn V kit that I had been considering for some time The kit seemed to be a decent deal and above average quality from the reviews but three days into the...

So I was doing some research on paint brush materials and someone mentioned squirrel hair so I went out side and collected a squirrel I'm just not sure what part of the squirrels hair I should harvest. Any suggestions? He is rather fisty He keeps biting the brush when I try to comb him looking...

So I'm looking for some feed back about kits I'm considering for future builds. These are more expensive kits of things I like but before I spend the money I want to make sure they are decent kits as far as detail and quality

So I finally settled on my next build well more like found something I wouldn't mind building for a reasonable price sorta. I picked up a Tamiya A10 kit from my local hobby shop I figured Tamiya makes good armor hopefully they make good aircraft too. The A10 is known to me as the Warthog but I...

The first step to recovery is admitting you have a problem lol my problem is I have found so many cool kits lately and I don't have the money to buy them all Lol.. As I work in Emergency Services I've always wanted for some Good Fire Truck or ambulance kits but there just doesn't seem to be a...

Another build to keep me busy, I had my eye on this kit the last time I was in the shop but didn't have enough cash on hand. I have seen reactive armor in person but even though I believed this tank still existed in some areas of the military when I served in Iraq I don't believe I ever saw one...

Hey guys I could use a little assistance with my airbrush. When I started airbrushing I messed around with a few cheap airbrushes with various success but eventually I went out and purchased a Iwata Neo CN gravity feed airbrush and a small airbrush compressor. My over all success rate with the...

I wasn't sure exactly we're to put this topic so I picked chit chat mods can move it if needed. I've recently started to realize there are a lot more kit manufacturers, and speciality brands out there that I didn't know existed. I'll be honest up until a few weeks ago I never saw a Tamiya kit...

Hey guys the other day someone posted their build of Meng Bradley Infantry Combat Vehicle, until then I had never heard of Meng but had been looking for a higher end Armor kit specifically a Bradley. I checked the Meng Model site and found the kit Which looked to be everything I ever wanted...

As someone who likes to keep busy I tend to take on a lot more projects then I have time for and easily get distracted. A few months back I was at a local thrift shop when I found this vintage wooden ship model kit that was half built. I've never built a wooden model before aside from maybe a...

I know I briefly posted pic of this build in another thread and kinda discussed the kit briefly but i felt that it could use its own thread because im still doing some work on it to pass the time until i find another kit to build. So to give you all a brief summary I recently built a 1/535...

This is the second tank of kit i have ever attempted to build but the first time I've ever made a serious attempt at oil paint weathering. The kit as said above is another Tamiya Mk.5 Chieftain tank, as I said from my last tank build I couldn't be more impressed with the kit, the quality is way...

This was my first attempt at building a Armor kit, and honestly so far out of everything I've ever built one of the only kits I built and was immediately happy with and didn't fuss over for weeks trying to adjust things. The Kit was a Tamiya Walker Bulldog 1/35 and as far as the kit goes it was...

So recently I've been looking to build something a little different, after building a few model battle ships I took an interest in the aircraft they have on board specifically the Kingfisher, being a private pilot in my personal life aircraft fascinate me and the Kingfisher is no exception, I...

So I'm along ways off for this but I came across something that interesting and I think it would make a decent fun build that's not so common like the battle ships. The USS Alaska CB1 is a large or heavy cruiser that meets the criteria of the Term Battle Cruiser but was never officially dubbed...
