I picked up the Airfix D-Day Assult play set..diorama for the bredford tanker, there's a Tilly in there but that's too modern to set along side the DH88s. Anywho. The Typhoon looked like a pretty nice kit so why not. Start photo. I was thinking to use the supplied paints but they are really...

Post what you got, might take me a minute, got supper on the stove. I think I had a pretty productive year myself!

A new year is fast approaching, again. I was wondering what your modeling goals are this year? Me? The ever suffering Lullubelle! Making proper display bases for various subjects. Might pull the trigger on the Hughes XF11. Rebuild my work bench, I build a "mechanical" work bench on the end of...

How's 'bout a little taste of Bill Mauldin's front line Christmas Merry Christmas y'all!

I'm going totally out of box, not even bothering with ignition wires. I'm going for that war weary patch work of an aircraft. I'm listening to A Dawn Like Thunder, the story about Torpedo Squadron 8. When they were on Guadalcanal they ended up cannibalizing TBFs to get one or 2 flying. I don't...

Way back when I did a Eduard Hellcat that was a fun build but I forgot to paint the inside of the cowl. https://modelersalliance.org/threads/hellcat-for-hell-in-the-pacific.145952/ Reading back over the thread I saw this post from me. I've got most of the cockpit done but i'm not going to...

Been thinking about what to do next before I start in earnest on Lullubelle I was sniffing around the stash, Eduards Hellcat? Tamiya's Bird Cage Corsair (which oddly enough has a Vector resin set to make it an F4U-4, but why when I can BUY an F4U-4)? I opened the Tamiya wildcat box and found...

@phantom II Chris posted this to me on messages, you guys gotta see this. Doesn't matter if you like the old string bag kites you gotta love this guys' passion. He makes movies so he can build 1:1 model airplanes. :pilot

They really are more colorful than what I end up with.

Figure we have a shark thread since we have shark fans around here.

I know we've all stumbled on these films doing our research and goofing off but this is interesting in that we see who's behind this project and might be able to help them in their search for info. check it out.

This day in history...well actually it was the July the 2nd. Long story short, It's Independence Day! On July 2nd, the Continental Congress voted in favor of Lee’s resolution for independence in a near-unanimous vote (Damn New Yorkers). The actual Declaration of Independence was adopted by the...

In case you might have missed it on the thread about posting images. I'm starting the '65 chevy pickup. For you local boys this is the old Lyman Mills parking lot up in Lyman SC. I can remember going up there when this job was underway. Something broke down, as usual and Mom had to load us...

Now we have another new home we have put in place a limit (which I thought I had in the past) of the size of the file being uploaded. That limit is 2048Kb or 2 mgs. I thought it would be a good idea to share how we all get our images compressed or reduced in size to get loaded on the website...

On a recent visit to New Hampshire I had a spare day on Sunday and found the museum from a quick google search, only a 45 minute drive from where I was so I figure go take a look. I wasn't sure what to expect, wasn't an airbase or any other military facility that I was aware of in the area but...

Let's see those completed builds for the Twins. :mpup :mpup
