    1/700 Tamiya USS Saratoga CV-3

    It is said that the 1/720 Revell kit is the most accurate CVN-65 in waterline scale, save the island structure. https://www.starfighter-decals.com/1up.html Upgrades ARE available! The Island correction set is an excellent casting. Are you ambitious enough to add the hangar deck? Mark...

    People overthink it. If the clay shrinks, saw it off. Start with a coat of silver and build up the base from there with grays and Tamiya clear blue. Gloss white for wakes and bubble streams, Future clear coat, Robert's your Uncle. Fannie's your Aunt, your ship is underway! Al has an...

    modelers lounge

    The actual TLAR Models Hobby Shop is taking shape. I got me a comfy chair, a ton of model kits (not all of them are pictured here) and an ashtray. The last of the model kits moved in here from the tornader-damaged bedroom today. I plan a ladder and roof-top deck for the 22-foot steel...

    1/700 Tamiya USS Saratoga CV-3

    Tell all your US-based friends about the website! I can ship internationally, but all the VAT and other such taxes are on the buyer. I don't have that tax certificate.

    In the Navy your call sign might have been "Messer". Your namesake is a dandy one!

    I've been to your Caribbean Island! It was lovely. If we ever meet in person, I shall lobby for your sainthood, my far flung friend!

    1/700 Tamiya USS Saratoga CV-3

    I wasn't much for social media either. I wanna sell models. To be honest, it's repetitious and boring the piss right out of me. So many bots and imposters. I did contact the Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security about the story of kindness of the officers and crew of CGC Active...

    Memorial Day 2025

    A day of somber reflection and remembrance. Consider this; How their sacrifices shaped our own Nation and our own lives. What inspiration servicemembers such as these have provided to us, as Men and as model makers. The "Garden of Stone" is on General Robert E. Lee's former property. Rest...

    On a windless day, flight ops may very well have been conducted at full speed. You're on the right track. Less is more with water texture.

    Don't give up! You're a better man than that! 1.5mm bushings and corresponding inside diameter shafts? C/A glue fill/sand and re-drill? Improvise, Adapt, Overcome, Baby! I'm pullin' for ya!

    My little brother was a hair's breadth away from being named "Roger Wilco". Count yourself lucky! Is you whole name "Barnabus"?

    Whats your handle?

    My Dad was one of those hard-boiled old guys that never could utter the words "I love you" or "I'm proud of you". When he called me "Butch" I understood that was as close as he was ever going to get. The day we flew our Tri-Pacer through the clouds he said "Take 'er, Butch." No one else ever...

    1/700 Tamiya USS Saratoga CV-3

    Expert ship models builders such as Mark Karolus, Richard Sliwka, David Waples and Carl Musselman all paint horizontal surfaces first, then, shooting up at an angle, painted the verticals. A little touch-up at the deck/bulkhead line is needed. I learned my "tricks" from men such as these. I...
