    PBY 5A Catalina 1/72

    I decided to by this kit. I've always like the PBYs. This kit measures 10.6", 17", 3". This will probably be a fun build!

    To shake, or not to shake, that is the question:

    I've been pondering of getting a paint shaker. Does anyone use one, if so which one do you use, and what price did you pay? Or should I just shake it like a monkey on crack? That is the question

    P-61 Black Widow (Latrodectus mactans)

    I have wanted to build one of these beasts for a while now. A local craft store, (Hobby Lobby) has a very small scale model area and this week all kits are 40% off. I have heard of a few workable issues with this kit which should be fine. I'm planning to build this as is without any additional...

    27 year old A-6E repair

    This is a model I build for rehab of my right arm nerve surgery in 1997. For the panel lines i used a pencil. She has been mothballed in a box for 27 years. The Intruder is by far my favorite jet. Such a versatile workhorse. I was sad when they were all replaced. However, they did see action...

    This is another possible group build, start date is to be determined. We might wait until after the new year. Discussion is open to everyone. My idea is a submarine build. It can be anything from an Iron Clad, WWI, WWII, Nuclear, etc. It can be what ever you wish, as long as it's a sub. We...

    Please Read!

    Personal note: I know this isn't a happy topic, but I feel I need to share this. The holidays are a hard time for many people, especially veterans suffering from PTSD, TBI and depression. If you need to reach out, don't hesitate one more second and call the Veteran's Crisis Line at...

    UH-60A Black Hawk

    My sister gave this to me for an early birthday gift a few weeks ago. I have never built a helicopter. I've decided to build it for an army buddy who was a door gunner on a Black Hawk during Desert Storm... it's hard to believe that is has been over 20 years since DS. Should be fun!

    2 Birds

    These are two birds I saw at our park. The white one is an Egret, and the other little guy is a Spoonbill. Spoonbills are usually pink, like a Flamingo due to their diet of crustaceans and other aquatic species. I like how the setting sun back lights the Egret.

    Paint, and coverage

    I am a staunch Vallejo user. The red I ordered won't be here for 10 days. I did not want to wait that long, so I went to a local hobby shop and bought the Citadel & Inktensity. The Vallejo I have does not seem to be a bright enough red. Out of the two new ones, Citadel & Inktensity, does anyone...

    IMPS National Plastic Model Contest 2023 in San Marcus Texas

    As I grabbed my remote as I scanned through YouTube I saw the title for the IMPS National Plastic Model Contest 2023. Cool! I thought. I noticed something about these models. Most of them do not depict weathering. Very few, that I saw, showed exhaust stains. I didn't see any paint chipping on...

    Revamped the Bench

    I decided to remove all of my old Testor enamel bottles, and reposition the shelving facing the workspace. With the bottles moved this will make room for more acrylic bottle. I'm keeping the Testors for now. I cleaned off the space and organized most of the bottles numerically which, now...
