Sneak peek of the new man cave hobby areas.

Scott, I understand were you are at, it is completely normal for my interest to cycle.............yeah cycle is a good term for it. You only have to look at my facebook page to see all the stuff I get into and out off. It is amazing the shear amount of crap I have collected, Paintball...

I think I still have my original airwolf in a "busted up model" box somewhere, no surprise as I build it 30 years ago or so, If I find my old wreck I'll post up some comparison images. I may have to get this kit just for nostalgia

I forgot to mention that there other alternative games for 15mm (and other scale WW2 games, I for one have played command decision, http://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/6699/command-decision-iii and Disposable Heroes and Coffin For Seven Brothers...

I used to play a LOT of flames of war ( a couple of years ago) the advantage of this game system over other 15mm games is it is detailed enough with out bogging down game play with rules. It is also divided into early mid and late war eras to balance out different factions to a extent. There...

Re: AMT bulldozer, ARRISE dead thread! Arise dead thread, It has been a busy YEAR of building a house but as we near completion I have staked out a new "man cave" and can start working on models again, part of the impetus is the build something form the movies group build: I have...

A SMA project and donate the finished model to a museum?

One other trick especially with the Vallejo squeeze bottles is to put a single 6mm airsoft BB in each bottle to help a stir the paint, I have NOT had good luck storing paint that I thinned more than a week before, Anymore than that and the paint separates and the water starts to dehydrate out...

looks great so far, be sure to stop in the reference section of the forum, there are some sherman images there but don't discount other references such as bulldozers that you may pass or oil stains on trucks, learning to weather is about technique and observation. ,

with a clean brush it is called tipping the brush, it was made popular when good brushed were red or white sable and a little moisture helped soften and shape the brush.

There were a lot of field expedited M4A3E2 "Jumbo" tanks, Instead of trying for a m4A3E8 this may be a better subject as I think Most of the m4A3e8s had HVSS suspensions the earlier "jumbos" were a mixture of VVSS and HVSS they may have ALL had duckbill track connecters to help offset the...

There is a LOT of controversy about what the "real color and intensity of german WW2 armor paints actually look like especially when you start adding sun fading poor or improper or substitute thinning agents scale effect and weathering. In my opinion there is enough wiggle room that your...

To be honest, my dozer and half half a dozen tank builds are on hold again for a even bigger project, Building a house,

While they do not make a M715 they do make a 1/24 scale Honcho Jeep pick up, it is close enough to kit bash. http://www.ebay.com/itm/4x4-JEEP-HONCHO-Truck-VINTAGE-7313-1-25-Revell-SEALED-Pickup-Model-Kit-/370837714126 then add a crap load of plastic card, cut the roof off, make a soft top...

There is a lot of variation, that is part of what makes German Ww2 armor interesting, it also gives you a measure of license in your builds as markings camo and other details varied not only in time period but from unit to unit as well. I suggest finding some reference photos and working...

I second this desire the ATM dozer I am working on is definitely showing that it is a kit from 30 years ago

[ Sorry for the delay, I have been fighting with rather severe computer issues, anyhow here is where I am with this build. I have mostly been able to find all the parts of made some of the missing ones. I have started punching out rivet heads out of plastic card to add some detail to...

1/24 scale is equal to 1/2" to the foot, G scale rail road which encompasses several scales including 1:20.3, 1/22.5 , 1/29, and 1/32 this is because all G scale uses the same track to represent different real life gauges. 1:20.3 would be 3' gauge but 1/29 would represent 4'-8-1/2" US...

The bane of this project is going to be: 1st missing parts and 2cd over sized and or missing details. The sub assemblies came together really quick but checking referenced there are a LOT of details that are missing, oversize and or molded in poorly. The tracks in particular are bad. I think...
