Wow man that is just exceptional work! I keeps thinking I need to build me one of those flying thingies

Well here we are at only about 5 hours or so. Went ahead worked thru the drudgery of the wheels, and pretty much finished off the lower hull. This kit is admittedly showing it’s age, but my parts didn’t have too much warping, and no sink marks (so far). This kit has the belly armor and it kit...

So figured I’d start something new. As most know I have a bit of fascination with Middle Eastern/Israeli subjects. Got this at the Columbia SC AMPS show last year. Israel never throws anything away it seems, and this is one of the most up-dated & up-armored versions of the venerable M60. Yes, I...

NEAT. I have been too slowly accumulating all the stuff to build a super detailed version of this kit

Neat stuff! Looking forward to seeing your work

I go to this forum periodically to see new stuff and see what’s going on in the modeling world. I notice it hasn’t been updated since December 16. Anyone know why? I cannot find an announcement that they will be closed for the holidays, but I would have thought them to update by now?

Welcome! YouTube and this forum are great resources! Hope to see your work soon

And here after a TON of work, we have the finished item! I was going for depth & detail here, so there is much to see, from the ditching log & fuel drum leak (idea courtesy Mike Trent) and the rope to hold it (idea courtesy Eric Rains), to the broken cable bent fenders and all the rest Best...

I wanted this to be a cross of sorts, having the look of a monument yet show the tank as it would be in the field. So I primered it gray and then hit with some of that Rustoleum textured paint

Ok so getting pretty far along, time for the base! A little time and some plastic sheet (card as you blokes across the pond call it) came up with this. Note that to make it easier for the Clay-Shay to adhere I sanded the area inside the border and drilled some holes (per the suggestion of E.Rains)

OK so most of you know I am s-l-o-w-l-y working on a Tamiya M4A3 Sherman (Thread Name "Sherman ETO" see - https://modelersalliance.org/threads/sherman-eto.155670/ - ) I used the kit decals (now covered) but with a bit of internet sleuthing I have discovered this tank should be in the 6th...

Ok so now it was on to the ball chain armor. The kit provides you with chain and little metal balls (no jokes…) But that looked to be more pain than it was worth. So with only a bit of digging, I came up with this product from FC Model Trend in Spain ZA5500×700 82.2 KB I ordered it and was very...

Hey Bob, that 'other site' was Armorama...not trying to start any drama!!

Guy in the coveralls has. Schnoz (nose) like Sean Penn

So here is aboot (as those Canadians say) 6 hours time. The ones in Gray are the installs and also the repairs from the FC Model Trend product which is super brittle. Just a bit (as we say in the US) more to go!

NEAT. See my latest post on the Hobbyboss Merkava and some printed items I have for it. I'm convinced there is a small market ATM for printed items , like external stowage, main gun barrels, bricks and debris, IDF ball chain armor, and specialty items like a flat section of track to press into...

So as of late I haven't been posting much, but have been working. Am steadily working on stopped projects. I have 4+ atm and I think a big part of 2023 is going to be related to finishing these. today I have been working on the ball chain armor. Hobbyboss gives you about 18 inches of chain...

Wow those first few pics made me think it was real/1:1 scale

Early Merry Christmas for me!

Thanks so much!!!
