Okay, I am finally entering the BSC for 2013. It will be for the sci-fi category (Big shock, I know). I will not be building anything stock. I am merely using these kits as starting off point, and raw materials. It's going to be a "DIESEL PUNK" type of vehicle, kind of in the vane of "Dust...

Well, I finally took a few minutes to take a couple pix of my build. I will be using the 1/100 Gundam Deatscythe Hell Custom, from The Endless Waltz. I liked the regular Deathscythe, but I love how they cranked up the awesome on this version. I wish I had the $70.00-$100 to blow on the MG...

Well, I've finally done it! Taken the plunge, and am officially entered in the Big Spring Contest! WOOT!!!! I will be building and subsequently modifying a Moebius Models Iron Man kit. I will also be using some stuff from a Chemical Plant from Pegasus Hobbies, and some other Greeblie bits I have...

:o Hello everyone!!!! I am not sure how many of you are aware of the Trend/fashion genre called "Steam Punk". A good friend of mine have been fond of this type of stuff LONG before there was anything called "Steam punk". Last Saturday, I was at his house, and someone, either his wife, him, or I...

Hey Fellow Herd-ers, here is my first entry in the figure category. Since there isn't a "Monster" category I figured this one would work. :) This is, I believe, the last entry from "Aurora" in their "Monsters of the Movies" line. I had an original Aurora release back in the mid to late '70s. He...

Hello everyone, I have never posted in this section before. I am mostly a sci-fi/monster/comic book/mecha sort of guy. A while back I saw that round 2 had re-issued the "Zingers" series from the '70s. My wife likes VW bugs, so a couple weeks ago, I bought one at a HobbyTown. I thought it'd be a...

Hey everybody! This is my second attempt at loading this topic! :) Hoping it works this time. This is the TNG Klingon Vor'Cha Cruiser. I built it probably in the mid 90s around the same time I built the Klingon BOP. I used pretty much the same techniques on this one. I started with a coat of...

Okay, this was re-released in 1991 and the box says "Original Edition". I am not sure what they mean by that. I recall the one from the 70's had chrome parts, and the translucent green along the edge of the flanges on the "head" were different. These are more Grill-like, and I seem to remember...

Up to this time you all have only seen models that I have completed. I am trying something new. :) Here is an old AMT/ERTL release from 1983. I started this kit a couple years ago. Just around the time that Round 2 re-released it. Please excuse the clutter on and around my desk. :) This is kind...

This is the latest BB Gundam I have completed. I think I finished him about 4 weeks ago, or less. He's a red version of the Shiba-I-Sazabi.I am not sure of his name because I don't read Japanese. :) His armor and general detail is a lot more elaborate than the others I have built. He's...

Here's another of these little guys.

Doesn't he look majestic at 4" tall? He was built and painted in the same manner as the Chouhi. Here he is summoning the mystical energies for a mighty attack with his weapon.

Here's something I don't suppose you guys see much of around here. He's a little Super Deformed Gundam kit By Bandai. They're small and yet very detailed. They have all the quality of Bandai kits. Including snap together engineering, and vinyl ball and socket joints for pose ability. AND if...

Well, here's something different. I am not sure he belongs here, but I thought I'd share anyway because I did enter him in the All Open category. Cast your mind back to the late 1970s. Mattel had released a toy line that they called The Shogun Warriors. Jim Terry had released english versions of...

Well, here is my Toy Biz Venom kit produced in 1996. I can't remember for sure if he was a snap together or glue....Either way...he got glued! :) LOTS of Zap-A-Gap, and sanding,scraping, and sanding. Then I sprayed him all over in flat black. Then I used Testor's Transparent blue spray paint to...

Well, here is my Spiderman entry from Toy Biz circa 1996. I did pretty much the same treatment on him as all my Marvel Toy Biz character builds. I liked the darker blue for his costume simply because I liked how it looked in the comics. This is an old kit, and I HOPE my skills have improved. I...

Okay, I don't know what happened to the pix I originally posted, so they are again. :)

Here is the AMT/ERTL "Klingon Bird of Prey" model kit that I believe was issued in 1993-1995? I bought and built it as soon as it hit the shelves. I had long awaited a release of this striking design. Since I din't know anything about lighting a model, I painted the inside of the clear parts...

Here's another of the Toy Biz Marvel Comics line of model kits. "The Thing" made in 1996, and I probably built it in '96 as well. He was a snap together model, but I glued him, and sanded, scraped, glued, and did more filling and some more sanding... Then I sprayed him and his base completely...

Well, this is the "Ghost Rider" Model kit produced by Toy Biz in 1996. This line of model kits were cool for a couple reasons, they were styrene kits, not vinyl or resin, and were in-expensive, and easy to find. However, they weren't designed all too well, and suffered from some alignment, and...
