Yes, I think I've got it.

Learning to insert my pics directly. Please bare with me.

Photobucket shut down all my pics. I'll try to replace them in time.

Finally finished, although I could always find something to add or fix. not sure I want to whether it either. I've discovered that Photographing a glossy black airplane model is not easy. All of my efforts at indoor lighting failed. Flat Black or Stain would have been easy to light but I just...

Nice! I've got one I've gotta do.

Almost Done.

The spinning Propellers, see the video.

Installing the cast metal landing gear with the resin wheels. Also mounted the bomb, which gets over sprayed with some black later. Note the brass rods for the propeller shafts.

The wings are carefully glued on with thirty minute epoxy. This gives plenty of working time so that one can align the wings. I spread a thin but solid coat of epoxy on each surface with a small Q-tip. The wings were then braced with large rubber bands and supports placed under the wings and...

Paints and colors used were Humbrol Gloss Black, White Ensign British Dark Earth and Model Master British Dark Green #FS34079 in that order. The canopy and turrets were masked with E-Z Mask to maintain sanity. Decals are Xtradecal from Hannants of London. The large roundel on the port wing...

After a bit of a hiatus (three years?) I’m back on the Lancaster. I’m trying to finish up before the local Atlanta IPMS contest next weekend. Belcher Bits resin engines from some blokes in Canada. A nice solution to the engine problems of the Tamiya kit. many coats of Rustoleum followed...

The Finished Fokker

She's Done! The figure came with her knife in a sheath. How F..ed is that for a Japanese warrior? So I went back and made her a real knife out of sheet aluminum. Panzer Grey is Hot!

I started putting the Eagle Strike four color Lozenge Camo on this old Monogram Fokker D-VII kit as an exercise leading up to a build of the Roden Gotha V mit Nach Lozenge and the Wing Nut's LVG C.VI. So far it's been going well. I've learned a good deal about applying large areas of decal...

I've been making progress on my 1/720 scale Italeri kits of the Deutschland, Admiral Scheer, & Graf Spee. I'm doing these three sister ship in mid thirties colors. So far they are fine kits right out of the box. I just too delivery of the White Ensign brass for these, nice.

Very Nice Indeed! I've all three of these ships from Testors/Italeri in 1/720 scale underway. The Deutschland, Admiral Scheer and Graff Spee. At his scale they are each only 10-1/2" long (less space in the display case). I like the idea of lamp parts. Must find a Lamp shop. So far I have...

Nice! What? His bomb?

Deunan Knute of the Appleseed Anime Series; I bought this figure at the Atlanta Military Figure Show about twelve years ago. It was sculpted by Tetsuo Kato, with a company in Japan called “Pantheon”. The story pulls a lot of characters from Greek mythology. The story is based on the work of...

Meine Me0410 B2/U4 Build; Another project for 2012 is the Revell Me 410. I was inspired by Chuck W’s wonderful build on the Modeler’s Alliance Forum. Alas, habe ich keine Flugzeug-Mädchen. Thanks for the inspiration. So far mine is strictly out of the box. The kit cockpit paints up...

One of my projects this year is the old 1/48th Lancaster Dambuster von Tamiya. An old kit from the seventies but still good detail. I hope to be finished in time for Peter Jackson's new movie of The Dambusters. http://www.wetanz.com/who-you-gonna-call-the-dam-busters/ I'm adding...
