Overall it looks pretty good Mikkel! I have some builds that I want to do that are really important to me, but I also know where my deficits are and are doing builds now to address those and get some experience. My 251 build is stalled at the moment for a couple of reasons. In following Jef...

@Sharkmouth Supposedly the point of the 3D printed parts is that they can make the parts better as printed than they can do as molded, and overall a bit cheaper for the quality. I get it. I didn't know that they were including a BOOK which makes the value even better. I also had not seen the...

I have been eyeing some tools on Temu for holding chisels in order to sharpen them. There is a fair amount of junk on there, but I have picked up some really decent stuff as well. You just have to be choosy.

Hopefully no effervescent RTV this time.

Possibly Bob. I only bought the ones that I thought would be interesting to build. I never speculated, though I figured that they would hold their value so no loss either if I didn't build them.

Looking good Tim! Yeah, my yard has gotten a bit high. I told myself I would do it after work sometime this last week. That didn't happen. I have been getting my left thigh radiation zapped in the weekday mornings now for 6 weeks. That has amounted to 29 times so far. (no zap on Memorial...

Looking at the 3D printed wheel well, I am fairly impressed. You are not going to get that kind of detail with injection molding. Yeah the kit is going to be expensive, but I just bought several ResKit 3D print kits for my CH-54 and they were over $100 when totaled up. I don't remember what...

Tweezer tips and surfaces are definitely something that most modelers have no clue about. They buy a set of so-so tweezers (which can work well by the way) and then use them in ways that completely damage them without understanding what is needed to keep them working well. Glad the tweezer...

If the parts were a little less bendy it might be possible to do hardware. With care it probably still can be possible to do a kit in this scale where the suspension can be adjusted. I am loving the 1/16th kits as I have been able to make things "work" with only a little creative assembly and...

No razor saw so far. Been using sharpened jewelry engravers and a VERY sharp chisel Xacto blade with small files. If I decide to redo the spade posts on the trails, it will be by cutting off the posts, then making patterns of the plates around them. Then completely removing the plates that are...

I ordered this from the guy that I had bought my other Harder and Steenbeck airbrushes from. It came with some extra fancy attachments and such as well. Fun part is most of the part interchange on them so it is all good. I am looking forward to being able to test this one out.

Well I just couldn't leave well enough alone and went ahead and fixed one of the above issues. Here is this installment. I have only really been working on this over the weekends and this last weekend I just didn't feel like much. As of tomorrow morning (June 10) I have 7 more zap sessions in...

Go for it Bob! I also have both of those kits (I think anyway) The Meng for sure.

Looking really good Paddy! All I would be worried about is how well the decals align across the different parts. I know you have that covered so..

Very Nice Greg! If you ever get a chance to go to Wonderfest in Louisville KY, definitely go. Your figure would fit right in with any of the quality builds there.
