    CTA Entry - f1matt - Tamiya Lotus 49

    Still waiting on a few aftermarket bits to arrive before I start. But I figure I can get begin the thread with a couple pics. The kit came with decals and stickers to mark the Lotus. Even has tobacco decals! I managed to source some high quality replacements. A size comparison...

    Task Force Canada HMMWV - Afghanistan 2002

    By as early as December 2001, Canada had deployed JTF2 to Afghanistan. By April they had the M1114 in theatre to assist with operations. After seeing one image of a Canadian operated M1114 I was inspired to try and recreate that scene. Tamiya had just released it's M1025. While not exactly what...

    Mk. IX Spitfire - 411 Squadron RCAF - Polly

    Continuing on with sharing my old builds. Here is one one of my favorites. Hasegawa's fantastic 1/48 Mk IX Spitfire that I converted to an e wing. A few extra bits here and there. Elevators dropped. My mother is a very talented artist and I asked her to apply some markings by hand. She added the...

    Tamiya Challenger II - Operation Telic, Basra 2003

    Not sure if this qualifies as a diorama. It`s just a simple street scene. Anyway. Here is my Chally II with some simple mods and Verlinden figures. Its probably hard to see but most of the upper surfaces are covered in paint chips. All applied by hand, one by one. My references showed...

    My First Two Gundams

    Hope this is the right place in the forum for these two kits. These were the first (and to date only) models I`ve started and finished since moving almost three years ago. Man that`s sad. The first is 1/100 scale Gundam called Force Impulse. He was built for my girlfriend. Only minor details...

    Fat Cat - Tamiya P-47D

    Hello all. Finished this model earlier this year for a local IPMS contest (IPMS Winnipeg). Prior to that it sat nearly complete for about two years. I seem to have been in a bit of a modeling funk since I moved. I'm very slowly getting my mojo back though. Tamiya 1/48 kit with some Eduard...

    Useful reference site: 8th Airforce

    I wasn't really sure where to post this to be honest. If anyone is building an American fighter from WWII you'll find plenty of great pics here. 8th Air Force Fighter Group - Littlefriends Not surprisingly it is primarily a source for the P-47 and P-51. The pics are mostly casual ones taken...

    blast from my past

    where do you spray paint your kits

    Since moving to my new diggs I haven't continued any of my builds. Why? They are in need of paint and I don't have anywhere to spray. I need a new spray booth. I'd prefer to build one myself to help keep the cost reasonable. Any tips would be great. Or let me now what you guys and gals do...
