SPA Modeler

Every man has his price, eh Medic?

This is the only car model that I have completed as an adult. I bought it at out base PX in Bosnia and built it in my hooch. Hand brushed with acrylics and those cheap horrid white handle Testors brushes. I figured we need at least one car model dispalyed here. this kit http://www.thetoycabin.com/im...

I started this on my days off this week under "austere field model building condtions", AKA my back yard patio table, while my house was being fumigated. It is actually a decent kit and progressing quickly. One the first evening of work: steps 1 & 2. basic interior parts. http://i72.ph...

Yeah, the weekend madness GBs really push your modeling limits regarding speed and attempted quality. I hope we can have another one this fall when they are traditionally done.

This is the Academy 1/350 Graf Spee kit that was released a few years back. I built this one on and off over the course of a couple of years, but it is not a difficult build at all. Even for a novice ship builder such as myself. It really is a good learning kit, although it does have a few accuracy ...

I completed these builds a couple of years back. Two Type VII U-Boats in 1/350 scale: the Hobbyboss Type VII A and the Revell Germany Type VII C The Hobbyboss Type VIIA is done as U-29, killer of HMS Courageous at the outbreak of WWII, and I weathered her in a "colder" water style from her...

Thank you Erik and Shark.
Erik, I did try to base this as factually as I could on MAF F-5Es, and I am glad to hear that you like the way that I pulled it off.

Shark, I used Humbrol Satin for the top coat. I love the finish that it gives.

Thanks Shark. Monogram has not released the TBD in a few years. Just a guess, but I bet it is gonna be released again not too far in the distant future, seeing how they have been re issuing nearly all their of their old kits. IIRC, Squadron made a vac form canopy for it, and I think Falcon has a TBD...

Then a primer coat over the scratch work... http://i1319.photobucket.com/albums/t671/stikpusherII/Carro%20Commando/100_0225_zps3a6fe65d.jpg http://i1319.photobucket.com/albums/t671/stikpusherII/Carro%20Commando/100_0226_zpsf5132ae0.jpg http://i1319.photobucket.com/albums/t671/stikpusherII/Carro%20Co...
