Thought this might get a smile out of some folks. Too bad we can't really stay home.

Post your finished builds here. I have a package to send to one of the folks that finishes their build in time. I will post some photos once I have assembled what I have in mind. Here is my build finished. Today is March 20. There are eleven days left to the end of the month.

I ran across this over the weekend and d/l all the render photos that were posted. This is a lot of them. Here are the renders of one of the next Border Models aircraft in 1/35th scale. It looks like it will have the "tin canning" that the Lancaster had, and RAISED rivets like it is supposed...

As I have been on an armor build kick lately that has continued to be productive, I will continue with this Puma build. According to the box this is a "new mold" from Italeri. Which means it isn't old and worn out, though with Italeri who knows if it is even close on accuracy or not. It will...

I bought this to cut out small circles of clear plastic to put over the instruments on my SdKfz 251 kits. It works and cuts quite well, HOWEVER, it is a pain in the can to make an accurate sized cut. I posted this review on the seller's site and am not sure they will ever post it up. I rated...

It is coming up on that time of year again. March is and always has been the MMM build month. For me this has been the only kit I finished in some years. So as a reminder and to allow folks to figure out what kit(s) they want to build during the month of March I am putting this up as a...

First off there is this: I think most of us are setting in the lower right corner. But! Then there is this: Alas I have not had a War Department for many, many years thus I can do posts on Airbrushes. So here is a short review on the differences between Badger (mostly SOTAR) and my Harder...

I usually get the parts fit so the gap is minimal then mix a blend of thin and medium CA and using my trusty micro chisel applicator fill it in. At worse I end up with a tiny bit of CA on the surface edges that will clean off with a slight swipe of 1500 grit. What is nice is that it flows and...

For now this is a place holder. As I delve into the "Learn Blender 4.4" book, I will start posting about what I am learning. Next on my list is the other book that James posted about. Then eventually a printer set up. Need to make a place for that first. (small FULL house) If you want to...

Here is my next build. Have been looking forward to starting this (which is also why I finished up the Pak 40 in record time). I added a couple of photos to the end of that build pointing out some more mods I did. Hopefully this one won't need as many corrections. I thought about doing the 8...

As I have a number of these 1/16th kits now, and Tim has tweaked my "want" to build one, I am starting with the Pak 40 kit to go with the Sd.Kfz 251/1 kit I have. This should give me a feel for the Das Werk kits how they fit and build up. Have started on this and the parts fit so far is...

This is the starter placeholder. I am still working on my Ju88 and probably will through the weekend. (We'll see on that though)

Just a reminder to everyone, Micro Modeler Month starts in 1 week (7 days). Subjects are: Aircraft 1/72 and smaller Armor 1/48 and smaller Ships 1/700 and smaller Automotive 1/32 and smaller The ribbon is ready

I did a lifetime subscription to EPOCH TIMES last year after doing yearly subscriptions for several years. Have never regretted it. Here is a historical article that came in my morning email today. It had a couple of things that I did not previously know. Epoch Times article the battle of...

Hey all! Saúl and I met for dinner and had a great time visiting. We shared life's stories and experiences. Very interesting guy and I hope we can visit again soon (though it probably won't be face to face like tonight. I think we actually visited something like 3 hours as I got to Outback...

I received a facebook message from Susan this afternoon and she has decided to auction off all the dioramas that Bob had built and collected over the years. There are the dios that Bob had built as well as several by Louis Pruneau that were in his collection. There are also other collectibles...

Hey! A new installment of Tool Time! Something really different this time and it starts about 30 years ago. At the time I was really into trying to build super models (yeah, kind of like I do now :smack:) and a "NEW" tool showed up called and "Air Eraser". It is actually designed for use by...

I mentioned a little while back that I was upgrading my computer's operating system. That went along fairly well until a component on the video card exploded and the machine went black. I considered just getting another video card, but I always do a bit of research and in this case I read a...

I believe this beastie was the build that fully brought me to MA if I look into the way back machine. I think that old thread is still around, but I don't recommend looking it up as my posting style is much better these days. Also there will be a lot more of the in process detail that was left...

In some ways this is like a full size type model with perfect detail. You even get to play with it when it is done. In some ways the disassembly part of this project can be a big help for detail and reference. Dirt, dust, and a tiny bit of rust. @moon puppy Bob if you don't want this...
