Looking really good John!

The Mercedes looks interesting Paddy. What caught my eye was the SM79 Sparviero. As it is 1/48th scale I will pass as I have both the messed up Trumpeter offering and the Classic Airframes reboxing done by Eduard which is supposed to be a much better build. HPH had a 1/32nd scale one in the...

It has been a bit of a pain in the can. Like the Pak 40 though it is coming together and looking quite good so far. The hard part is getting the paint looking good. It is getting there and I am learning a bit in the process. One thing I did was waited to put the armor sides on. Turns out it...

I do believe you have this just about right with the wear and tear. I am having trouble trying to think of how I am going to weather my half track. It is making progress and I have the track wheels all finished. Painted them and the frame behind with the "yellow" paint. Painted the tires...

I have seen photos of the back of P-47 and P-51 props that the black paint is feathered off like those on the Beaufighter. I have not seen any photos of the paint chipped like in the Spitfire photo. It is always good to see untouched and "restored" photos. They are always helpful, especially...

Turned out really well Paddy!

So far so good Tim!

Bob this gets the : award!

@JSteinman So, John why would that light be rotated to the rear like that? Do you have any idea? (I also have this kit so paying attention) Also, it looks like the left front head light is shot out and only a shell is left. The bolted on plate that Tim has on his build is also not on the...

Looks real good Chris and you even raided your stash of old coins for the nickel.

Last year the store I work at gave me the glass display case from the Waterford Crystal. This thing is about 7 ft tall and 2 ft square. When I finally fill the shelves up I have some ideas to add more shelves, just will need to make some metal supports and get some glass cut. I replaced the...

I have to back under the knife on Feb 5th to remove (again) a large fatty tumor in my left thigh. They have never been able to get all of it. The first surgery lasted about 5 years till I was able to tell it was back. Finally had another surgery about 4 years ago but this time the new surgeon...

Don't forget to get that seam line fixed on the barrel before final paint. Getting dinged for that after all the great work you have done would be sad Tim.

A couple of years ago I had a very short opportunity to visit Gettysburg. I did a Google map search and ran across the "Model of the Gettysburg Battlefield". As this was kind of first thing on a Monday morning I was there when they opened and it was early March so a bit off season. I was the...

Steve, I get the larger scale builds. I like building larger scale models, but my thing is I still do the micro scratch building. As a watchmaker I am so used to dealing with micro parts that micro is not really an issue. It just makes me build a LOT more little parts that I can see, but that...
