Hi Guys Need a little help. If I"m not mistaken, a couple of you have used this update cowl from Vector. What is the best way to remove the pour plug from this thing? Thanks for any advice! Tom

I vote to remove this emoticon... :bat Tom

I've been hem hawing about going to the IPMS nats in Columbus OH. It's not far away, but wasn't sure if we could afford it.... Well, now my wife is insisting we go!!! Can't say no to that! Tom

Hi Guys Looking for a 1/35 rearing horse...any ideas? Can be plastic or resin, would prefer not metal. Thanks for any help, Tom

Hi Guys This is a diorama with my Schwimmwagen and Evolution figures, pretty much everything else is scratchbuilt. I started building it to enter at AMPS last week, started running out of time so I wasn't able to blog the dio build. I have WIP pics if you have any questions...

So... Anyone planning on attending? Tom

Hi Guys I'm going to be starting a Kharkov dio soon and want to include a portion of a Russian Izba...or small farm house type thing. I've done some poking around but haven't come up with much. From what I've found it could be a log cabin sort of structure with fancy windows and shingled, tar...

This looks really cool, I want one! Cutting circles in styrene has never been easier! http://trainmasters.tv/video-player/bonus-cricut-product-review Tom

Hi Guys I've started working on these figures, which will be part of a diorama with the Schwimmwagen. These are Evolution Miniatures figures, which I think are amazing. I was planning to use an Alpine figure also, but he just didn't seem to fit in. Originally there was going to be 8-9 figures...

Congratulations everyone! You are reading my 1000th post!!! You should all be very proud... :bgrin :bgrin :bgrin :bgrin :bgrin Kidding aside, thanks for putting up with my lame jokes, off topic comments and often inebriated posts, I don't belong to very many forums, and this place...

Hang this guys picture over the bench and you'll get moving. That's my wife's grandfather. Tom

Hi Guys, This is the Tamiya Schwimmwagen in 1/35 scale. Great little kit, but I can't leave well enough alone, so I'm adding Aber PE, DEF off road tires and a figure from Evolution. Also using the canvas cover update from Mantis. Started with the front axle. Boy, these Aber steering...

Hi Guys This is a long shot for sure, but my understanding is the motor can't be seen once the kit is assembled. Sooo, anyone building the kit and not building the motor and willing to part with it? I need an engine for an oddball project. Thanks in advance, Tom

This will make you go "What The....!!!????" Hopefully someone will come up with a hobby (affordable) version. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yvtRYZ5EasA Wonder if the clog dancing between coats is necessary... Tom

Just curious, has anyone here built one of the big sailing ship models? Like Revell's USS Constitution, Cutty Sark or Hellers HMS Victory? I've got the Constitution in the stash, but looking at some build logs it looks like it would take about 5 years (at my pace) and tons of scratchbuilding...

Hi guys It seems like everyone makes a set or two of German jerry cans these days, so many I've lost track. Can anyone recommend a good set, in terms of accuracy, detail and value? I'm talking about the regular 20L fuel/water cans. Thanks Tom

Hi Guys Does anyone happen to know if the wooden floor boards in Schwimmwagens were painted the base body color or some other color? I've seen photos of restored vehicles where the boards look to be nicely stained and varnished...not sure if this is correct though... Thanks Tom

Just placed an eBay order for 50 bottles for $7.59 + FREE SHIPPING! :woohoo: These are like Vallejo bottles, just a bit smaller, really handy for mixing paint for airbrushing, and lots of other stuff... Will let you know how the deal pans out, don't see how they can ship anything so cheap. Tom

Well, it might be a few days, but WOW! this kit looks amazing! Definitely gotta have one of these! http://www.afv-news.com/2013/11/european-tram-mini-art-38001-2/ Tom
