After several months I have finally managed to complete a build. Decided to do something fairly easy. I realized I had never built a Spitfire before. Built her straight from the box with the addition of an old Aeromaster decal set. Painted using Vallejo paints.

Testing to see if I can get imgur mobile to work http://i.imgur.com/LzRRKBk.jpg Guess it can only direct link on the app and not do the bss code or whatever. Just means I have to use my actual camera.

I decided to try something a bit different for this build. I'm taking the Polar Lights 1/1000 Enterprise and modifying it into a Federation Saladin class Destroyer.

I finally had some time to get these pictures put onto my photobucket. This was my first real show that I've ever attended. I entered 5 models and walked away with three awards. One First place for my Revell Viking ship. As well as two second place ribbons for my 1/48 Tamiya Betty Bomber and...

This is my first foray into figure building of any kind. These kits are much like Gundam kits as far as I can tell. They would look decent straight from the box, but beg for some dirtying up.

Well the long 9 month wait is finally coming to an end. Sarah and I are currently at the hospital on day 2 on labor now. Getting excited to welcome our son Hunter into the world. I just can't wait to introduce him to model building.

For my first build I am going to try out the Hasegawa 1/48 Hein kit. I'm adding some Rising Sun decals and Eduard PE stuff as well. Forgive the crappy pictures. Having to use my phone for everything since the computer went belly up.

I've been pretty busy lately with the job and dealing with Crohn's and all the fun that brings. Haven't had much time to build lately. But have been tinkering here and there for a bit. Sarah and I just found out a few weeks ago that we will be expecting our first child in December :geek I'm both...

Sorry about the long absent guys. It has been a very hectic past few months. Sarah and I moved back up to Portland to be closer to family back in August. I started a new job once we got here. Only to leave that job at the beginning of November due to it not being a good fit. Since than I found a...

Just saw that Tower Hobbies is currently having a sale on Hasegawa stuff. Can't really beat some of the prices. I've picked up loads of stuff from them in the past. Can't beat a 1/32 kit for 35 bucks like this one http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0872p?&L=56HSMTS...

Well life got in the way for a few months. I've not been doing much building for the past three months. I was hired at a cabinet shop back in March. I quit working there at the end of April due to it being an extremely hostile work environment. So I've been helping out my Dad with his...

Figured we had enough fighters in the campaign. What we need now is a nice twin engine bomber with some bewbs on the side :rotf Had to pick up some paint at Hobby Lobby yesterday and saw this in the model isle. I built one of these years ago. Sadly it was lost in a move. But I still happened...

I started this one earlier this month but haven't been able to find the camera cord until cleaning the house today :bangs head. Not much in the way of cockpit detail. But looking online this beastie was pretty sparse inside anyways.

I'm a little late to the party but figured I'd throw this little gem into the mix. I've had this for a few months now. Been wanting to build it for a future diorama base. Figured why not build her now. Started building it yesterday afternoon. Had the basic structure glued into sub assemblies in...

While waiting for the paint and clear to dry on the Corsair, I decided to start on this one for my second build. Kind of nice to do some armor from time to time. Photos kind of suck. It was dark outside when I took them and for some reason the tablet kept messing with the camera.

I was looking through Plastic-models.com and came across 1/350 Hasegawa Hikawa Maru Hospital Ship for 55 bucks. With my recent obsession with WWII Japanese stuff I had to snag one. I'll make sure to post some sprue shots when the beastie comes in. But for anybody that wants to try there hand at...

I was looking at some random Youtube videos and came across this one. An amazing test video of a B-24 being ditched in the water on purpose. From what I have read the B-24 was a terrible airplane to ditch in the water. It tended to break in half, like this one does...

So my niece loves Star Wars, but also loves princess stuff. Sarah and I discovered a three foot Stormtrooper at Walmart. I immediately had a perfect idea for her Christmas present. This is the result of our efforts.

I was just looking through Tamiyausa's website and noticed that they have their German version of the B1 bis heavily discounted right now. It's currently 27.99 when the next closest price I could find anywhere was almost 60 bucks. So snag one if you want it...

Just saw that ICM is releasing a 1/48 C-45F kit here pretty soon. http://www.icm.com.ua/news/374-c-45fuc-45f-wwii-usaaf-passenger-aircraft.html I'm pretty excited for this one. Just imagine all of the paint schemes you could do with this one.
