Paint. Everyone and his dog makes paint anymore. Everyone has a favorite. So many tricks to lean to make it apply properly. I inherited a bunch of Humbrol enamel tinlets and Model Master Military Modeler enamel paints from friends. I'm satisfied to use my 4th Testors Aztek airbrush to spray...

You din't pay them Yankee weather-gissers no mind, then?

Posties been! Communication with this eBay seller is excellent! He advises buying 2 1/72 scale F7F Tigercat kits for the same freight costs and I could not refuse. The new 1/72 scale Tigercat kits arrived, well packed and undamaged in just 25 calendar days from Poland. Quite acceptable...

It is a hard landing, indeed that prangs a kite into such bits. (Insert Monty Python RAF Banter in Polish here!) Not very cricket, that. :bigrin:

Now hear this, "The Gray Ghost of the Florida Coast" is building, and I am well pleased with her. I marked the PUFFS sonar* array mounting points with black marker to get them square. There are tiny holes in the deck for their location. Snorkel, and shears follow. This version is the...

Bloody Brilliant! :notworthy

Welcome to our merry band of model makers! There are experts and beginner about. Never be afraid to ask questions. We are by and large a helpful cheery lot!

She's one of the 1/96 Revell CSS Alabama white metal boats. I have a set of the metal parts for her, and I liked her lines. she's 12 scale feet too short for a 1/350 USRC Roger B. Taney cutter and 18 scale feet short for a 1/350 1799 USS Enterprise schooner.

Fresh RTV made all the difference on the second go. First castings are done without my signature gray pigment. 4 PUFFS sonar antenna, incase you drop one. This model will be modified to USS Ronquil/USS Tigerfish and one more mold will be made to finish the Cold War submarine project. Never...

Saul gets his wish. I got started on the figures for the Narc boat.

It began at Oshkosh, WI. The Spitfire taxied by our family with the prop ticking over, wingtips bobbing as she went over the grass taxiway. The hood was back and the door was down. The pilot's scarf trailing along behind the cockpit.... My first "Warbird". The coolest thing a 7-year-old...

The elemental truth is that making the Masters again wouldn't ever really be necessary. I don't like to lose, but at the same time, consideration must be given to the prudence of continuing this project. No one clamors for a 1/700 scale GUPPY III submarine model kit. Fewer still would...

Failed RTV. Bubbles and "Muffin-top" are sure signs of some new kind of contamination. I dumped Part B of the mold material to hasten curing of the failed RTV. 24 hours should make for easier removal of this gooey clusterfuck, but why should I bother to try to save the Masters? There is...

Impressive!

I thought it said "I'm not Hungry. I'm German." It turns out, Joe was hungry! :yipee:

What did you do with all the cool gold leaf decals, I wunda?

Liar! Still funny!

Shinie!! Nice ol' Monogram build!

I saw pictures of snow drifts at Myrtle Beach today. :lol:

There hadn't ben a proper club meeting since November of 2025. Foul winter weather and illnesses fouler still, kept our merry band from assembling. Then came 29 January 2026! 16 Surgeons and their sweeties in a few cases, gathered at the Wig & Pen pub for our celebration and gift...
