Yes Ken, that’s the vignette! I was there again this year. It was a good show, not great. The new hotel was ok, but I still prefer hotel in Danbury.

You gotta try and get to Armorcon next year. We have a great time. Last time I saw you, you brought a US Truck vignette if I remember correctly. That weekend was great. One of the best Armorcon’s!

My name on the LEM was Moses. MiniArt kits drive me up a wall. I love some of their kits and some others I want to put my head through the wall.

Ken you gotta remember me. We were hanging out at Armorcon back in the day. Remember when that lady went nuts while we were at the bar in the lobby? Calling us war mongers for glorifying war and stuff. She got in your face and I started breaking her chops and she ran off.

Thanks for posting Mike. I was an original member of the LEM when it was created way back when. Then Steinman invited me back. I appreciate everyone listening. Make sure to stay till after the music from Episode 2 on. Some funny stuff that is edited out is at the end. We are just getting...

Hey Duke, yes I was Moses on FSM and on the LEM. Glad to be here...

I do paint, but I do prefer to build more. I do like to show the model in its build form to show the work that sometimes goes into the construction. I’ve made a 2021 resolution to try and get I then spray booth more this upcoming year...

This is Rye Field Models new Panzer III J. Nothing too special when it comes to detail with this kit. I wanted to try and use what was available with the kit and update set. I did replace the tools brackets with MJ Miniature 3D printed ones. They are very nice and easy to use, but I still...

Thanks guys. Speaking with John Steinman and Mike Reeves (Jeeves) I was told that this used to be the LEM, which I was apart of when it was formed back in the mid 2000’s. For those who don’t know I used the screen name Moses on that forum as well as on Finescale...

It’s all done, I just have to upload the write up!

I use a 35 watt Weller with a needle point, Alpha liquid flux and thin solder.

Thanks MP, It’s all soldered up. The photoetch fenders were first glued to .5 plastic card then glued to the model. The grayish blue color is the mr. surfacer to blend the photoetch and plastic card together and to give it more scale thickness.

This was a build I finished a couple of months ago. It is Tamiya’s 1/48th scale KV1 with Appliqué Armor. It was a fun project and went surprising well. As with many Tamiya 1/48th scale kits, the detail was very soft on some areas. I added the flame cuts to the whole kit as well as weld beads...

Dr. John Steinman told me to join the group. Looking forward to contributing. Mostly naked models :). Thanks for having me... Cheers Rob Riviezzo
