James is all ready for an Italian campaign. WWII, Italian vehicles, ribbon for planes, ribbon for armor. What time frame would everyone like to have?

I have set the 251 aside for a little bit. The complexity of doing the interior and hull has stressed me out to where I just have to do something else for a little while. I bought this from @ Greg Kimsey a while back as something a bit different to build. The last few weeks it has been on my...

Too bad. I have several of the old Pocher car kits and had intended on buying some of their upgrades. I guess it is time to finally release those kits to the wild.

Umm, isn't 1/350 bigger than 1/400, which is bigger than 1/500, which is bigger than 1/700? 1/200 is bigger than all of them. Yeah when I get tired and glassy eyed from lack of sleep and too much fun my mental calculator goes all fritx too.

The wood won't split across the grain, but will split along the grain. The mold has the grain running the same direction as the steel bands. The bands were put around the block to keep it from cracking along the grain. Here is a block of wood I used with my floor jack the other day. Didn't...

When this kind of patterning is done on watches, it is done entirely by hand and Mark I-C eyeball. (C is well trained and calibrated) Something you could do is to take a fine sharpie marker and draw some measured lines on the surface before starting to help guide the process. The patterning...

The kit has not come in to Squadron yet. Had like a $50 savings by doing the presale, and I became interested after watching a video on it. Turns out the gun on that chassis was pretty deadly to Russian tanks. They could shoot quite a ways off and penetrate quite well at that. I am pondering...

I sprang for the pre-sale at Squadron for the Trumpy Nashorn kit. It is supposed to have all the interior goodies and all. Should be a big tank with a bigger gun.

Et's got wangs! Et should fly!

I have had a couple of kits where the decals were impervious to anything that you would normally use. One was an MPC kit back in the early 80's a 1/24th scale Stuka (Airfix). The other kit was the Italeri 1/12th scale F 16 cockpit. On the F-16 I was able to place the decals and make them...
