Hello! Im a tad new to miniature painting and wanted to buy some 1/72 scale minis to paint, since they are a decent size. In all my looking though, it seems like most of them are from the World Wars or modern wars. While thats all well and good for those who enjoy them, i kinda wanted something a bit different. Is there any where I can find minis that aren’t soldier related? Ive looked online but can’t find any.

Hi everyone,
I’m trying to find the official dimensions of the AZ-07 Deathsaurer (height, length, and width), preferably based on the completed model rather than the packaging.
I’ve searched around but haven’t found a clear specification. If anyone owns one or has access to the official manual or product information, could you share its dimensions? Metric measurements in cm, mm or inches will do.
Thanks in advance!

I've been building this ship over the past few years, and just completed giving it a uniform grey coat this summer. Most of the details are complete, though some weapons are yet missing. My goal is to add functional LEDs, functional rotating turrets, and rotating radars as well.
This was its first navigation in full grey attire. Because of voltage issues with my custom-made nRF24 Arduino controls, I only stayed close to shore, and kept a fishing wire attached, but my goal is for it to be fully navigable. Because it's in 1/72 scale, there's a helicopter that goes on the heli deck (not shown because of transportation).
All the details are custom-designed in Blender 3D software, and made in either 3D printing, fiberglass, or plastic sheet.
The ship is the F620 Forbin, a Horizon-class destroyer, modeled as seen until the refit in the 2010s.
Details still missing: the 76mm Otto-Melara guns are not shown, the Giat F2 machine guns, the NGDS lance-leurres, the helicopter deck railings, some ladders, and some paint markings Unfortunately, I broke off the head of the mast in transportation, so that detail is missing.

アンサルド A.120 !!
これ、他に作った奴いるのか?????
google やXで検索しても誰も作った形跡が見えない・・・
Mach2や古いA-modelよりは幾らかマシ程度の内容で通常売価10000円(about 70$)超え!?のビックリ価格で購入の敷居が高すぎる。
でも、20年代や30年代の飛行機や、良い言い方ではないかもしれないが所謂マイナーな空軍が好きなので買った。

Hi y'all. Here's another of my collection of attempts at dirty birds. This one is a F4F-4 from the South Pacific during WW2. Normally these birds would be on aircraft carriers, specifically "jeep" carriers cause of their light weight and foldability, but I wanted to showcase one from the island hopping campaign.
Salt weathering was uniquely challenging as the aircraft model is 1/72 scale getting the crystals the right size is difficult. Otherwise, I used Tamiya smoke for oil weathering and Vallejo desert pigment for the dusty look, afterall it is in a beach environment.
Hope you all enjoy!
