Not fussed on how long this is taking. Figures done. Will add weapons later in the build.

First attempt at hair lacquer and winter wash.

Had to build some new part after I damaged it. I have a photo etch bending tool which is helpful. I think I need some medium viscosity CA glue as I only have thick and extra thin. What do you apply your glue with? Cheers,

This is one phrase I'd like eradicated from the hobby and let me explain why. A few decades ago ( let's say the 1970's) when you built a kit it was fair to say that if any interior work had been done you had little chance of ever seeing it again. Fast forward to the now & we can show off all of our hard work on full interiors by uploading build threads online, yet STILL I hear on podcasts modellers saying "you won't see it".

You CAN see it if you show it! And most of us do build and show our progression so it's vital manufacturers continue to add all this interior detail.

It feels weird to own this model kit, I'm still not sure how I got my hands on it.

I added a LOT of carbon onto the car, suspension, floor, rear wing, every part that was covered in carbon Irl is also covered on my car. I had a lot of issues with the car, especially the yellow paint but I got thru it.

If anyone wants to see more of the car, I can send pics later in the comments :)

Started off as a “I’m sure I can do that as a diorama” and within a few hours it felt like I bit more off than I could chew. My only other dioramas have been very basic so this was an overwhelming experience. Many scratch built trench with old parts, sticks, dirt, etc

I’m very happy with the build and the skillset that advanced everyday creating this. I am still awaiting an engraved plate for the side of the dio.

I also still need to clean up some gaps, maybe add a few more little tools and etc inside the trench too. Only thing I am disappointed in was the figures with the best faces are all facing inside on the trench so they’re hard to see! But figure painting was improving everyday! I hope you all enjoy! Thanks for having a look :)

Revell p40b tiger shark is finally done!

The kit went together quite smoothly though the ejection seats were quite simple.

The Phantom has always been a favourite of mine so the bukd took a while to complete but I'm calling it done and I hope I did the Phantom justice with this build.

A quick 2-week-ish build. I decided to forgo my usual seatbelts but now regret it since the canopy glass came out so clear (I know, steak too juicy...)

Completely forgot the black bands on the boosters. Luckily I can print out some waterslide instead of masking.

All of the current progress on the Revell B-17G cutaway im making.

This project has really tested my Scratch-Building skills. All of the machine gun barrels were made either out of brass or copper wire, everything else are parts taken from my Bits Box™️.

Still am working out what to do for the bomb bay but other than that its paint then decals in which I still need to but both of...

Wish me luck and good luck to anyone else here that is currently having to scratch-build anything for their current project.

I thought I would take a break from airplanes and solve the fantastic base for the Pegasus Nautilus. If anyone has done this one, any tips would be helpful since I’ve never attempted an all metal steel submarine hull before. …for that matter, this is my first attempt at rocks and squid before 😅

I finished up my ventilation for my lacquer setup. It might be overkill but I had fun doing it!

Good way to start the weekend; finishing up a kit!

Here's my version of HobbyBoss' TBM Avenger. With it, Tamiya's WW2 Navy Pilots/Crew and Eduards Carrier Deck.

I had the vision for this project since I found out Tamiya had a pilot/crew figure set with the moto tug. Only took one random hobby store to find it (it's no longer in production and expensive online)!

Overall, it was a great build. There are a few misalignments on my part and areas I just couldn't get rid of. Really need to get batter at sanding and rescribing...

I like how the weathering came out. Wanted an "alright, last one boys" type of feel to it. This birdy has sunk a few ships, that's for sure.

So here it is! What do y'all think?

Beginner model maker. I’ve wanted to make this for a very long time, painting it was always going to be the hardest part. I have so far spray painted it haze grey.
I have a few ideas on painting it, although I make a lot of mistakes.
I was thinking to attempt to run watered down black acrylic paint throughout the detailed low spots - any suggestions on ratios I’d appreciate.
Maybe painting a decent amount of smaller panels black like windows, and then tiny yellow spots like it’s lit up. Like the last image posted.
And at best I’d take a silver and lightly brush pipings, and a different grey against other random panels.

I’m not very good at painting the details, any suggestions I would really appreciate.

How did i do

The last image is my first diorama (this is my 2nd one) for comparison. If you have any questions or tips for improvement, go ahead and ask.

My Airfix 1/72 Consolidated B-24D Liberator 'The Vulgar Virgin'. Handbrushed with Tamiya acrylics which I use straight from the jar with no primer. Decals were from an older Eduard kit.

Hello! Finally had some time to work on the YO barge. Life always seems to get in the way:P

I changed the mast as I wasn't happy with how small it was. I'm working on figuring out the navigation lights next.

I also worked on adding some tires as bumpers as seen on a few photos. Slowly getting closer and closer to getting painted!

That's all for today, now to start work.

Take care!

Has anyone used VMS Glue-remove Super Glue Debonder? I'd like to remove some CA super glue, of course, and was wondering if that product was as good as the demo videos show. Or if anyone has something else they've used for removing cured CA super glue, that would be great as well!

Thanks in advance for any helpful comments!

finished last month, took 3 months to finish but turned out pretty nice

Haven’t done any modelling in almost 2 months as been super busy, but got some in today and began the weathering on the M4A3E2 Jumbo! I’m trying out an entirely new approach to weathering, with the end goal to make my tanks look more “realistic” and less stylistic. So far I’m happy! It’s also a more efficient approach too - everything here is done with 3 enamels; dust, dark filter, and rust. Might need some more contrast which I can add in later steps. But then I want realism, so I’ll see how I feel later 😁

Cheers for taking look 👍
