This bleeping thing. :headbang: I shouldn't of pulled it out of the stash when I haven't completed a build since like February. I read a build review, and watched a build video before I even decided to it, and it didn't look bad. Wrong. The center wing section to the fuselage had huge gaps that I ne...

I guess I'm not the only one then, lol. I think it's been a good six months that I wasn't at the bench. So I attempted to go small and picked a Tamiya P-51 from the stash. Everything was great until I went to put paint on the thing. Was going for bare metal, and the black gloss coat just did not spr...

Curious if anyone has a specific build order when working on a kit? I seem to be all over the place, and forget things....all the time. Perfect example was today. I was going to gloss coat the Hawkeye I was working on, and then paint the inside edges of the landing gear doors while it dried. Realize...

I wondered that, it almost looks like liters set up inside. It's hard to tell though. I don't know what else that pole would be for aside from liters. Unfortunately I may have to make a guess, and make it as accurate as I can. I've only got two pictures to by. The other one she is in flight, and it'...

Been a while I know. The crappy weather is going to roll in soon, and I'm starting to look at what projects I may want to work on this "modeling season". Yes I have a season, lol. Wondering if anyone might have any idea what the mission markings on the side of my beloved Whiskey 7. I've se...

I really should of posted this sooner, but it's been a pretty busy summer, and I'm a very scatter-brained person. On Saturday September 23rd we will be celebrating Whiskey 7's 80th Birthday. I was asked to be the event coordinator for the party. Which really all you have to do is say Whiskey 7, and ...

“Keeps stress at bay”…

That was my exact first thought! Maybe that is why I have so many hobbies, model building, sewing, photography. I do tend to get stressed out easily.

That is good to know, as I'm pretty sure the Fury jet I have in my stash is Hobby Boss. Part of my stash is hidden under the bed, and I don't dig around under there often, so I forget what I have.

Hmmmm interesting question. I'd like to have an accurate kit but I don't want to pay a million dollars for it especially if it doesn't fit well. Case in point, Hobby Boss have some kits that are a little off accuracy wise (F-111, A-7). They look close enough to me and they have pretty decent fit. A...

By nature, I'm frugal :lashed: , ok...ok...I'm a cheap bastard. But I'd much rather pay just a little more for an accurate kit. Here's a goid example. The Hasegawa 48th P-51D is a good kit. But....for just $10-$20 more you can get a Eduard kit which is much more accurate and fits good. Or for rough...
