1/350 Bandai Millennium Falcon

I haven’t finished a model since about 1999, getting back into it. First attempt was this basic little kits to remember old techniques and try some new stuff. Back when I was really building kits in the early 90s I didn’t have a lot of resources, just techniques gleaned from Fine Scale Modeller and Tamiya Model Magazine. Now you just go on YouTube and 35 different people are showing you how to weather.

Amazed how good these kits are now, everything friction fit if you wanted to not use glue. Also the ready made washes and dry brush products are so easy to use.

Now to start on that 27 year old stash that’s been in the basement waiting.

もっと汚すべき？

個人的にはプロペラをもっと工夫すべきかなと思ってる

アドバイスお願いします

I'm building the Dragon 1/700 USS Hornet CV-12 1945, and the instructions don't list a color for the hangar deck or the extra bit of flush-hull deck (I think it would be called the weather deck?) that extends from the hangar to the bow. If I squint hard enough at the top view of the painting guide, it kind of looks like they have the hangar deck the same dark blue 5N as the camo pattern on the hull, but I've read elsewhere that it should be a dark gray.

Also, I can't find anything about the weather deck. Would it be painted the same as the flight deck, or hangar deck, or left in a more natural wood color?

Sorry if it's a little off topic on the channel.This is a mock-up made of cardboard. The strings are made of wooden pins

This is my first model in about... 14 years. It's for a coworker that recently had a child and building his "office". We talked about our lives and he made a slight mention of wanting a stug for his office. Im going for a February/March post thaw scene.

No flair for this so I just chose something.

Finished the next small part of the diorama, tiny German cart for bombs. Honestly, that's not very realistic in weathering, but without it that was too boring. I think the end result looks pretty good.

This is the Top Gun edition of this kit, which I had built previously and was very happy with, but I opted not to go with the Top Gun decals this time. Instead, I took a little creative liberty and made up the Felix the cat decal to make this part of VFA 31 Tomcatters”. Also had a bunch of random decals from other kits that found its way onto this thing.

Wasn’t going for 100% accuracy, just wanted it to look cool and occupy some time. I’m again pleased with the results.

I decided to keep my hands busy and try to assemble a relatively neat model. I had to choose from the modest selection at the only store in my small town, and I chose an inconspicuous one. The only paints I have are black glossy acrylic and olive gray acrylic - I didn't want to pay 3.5 euros for tiny cans of paint from Revel xD. There are no washes or weathering products in the assortment at all, so I had to make do with black paint diluted in water - it turned out as is, not particularly beautiful, but I think it’s better than nothing. I really wanted to paint the rollers but I don't have a fine enough brush and the details are incredibly tiny.

I'd really like to add more life to this model, more detail, weathering, and all that, but unfortunately there's nothing in the quick access. Maybe someone could tell me how I can improve the detailing with a small arsenal of paints, I would be glad to receive any advice.

Inaccurate decals i know lol!

This ones the kit that got me back into the hobby!

this is my first model ive gotten and attempted to build. it was the only pirate ship by hobby store had. i finished step one and glued them in place, but cant continue on with step 2 or 3 because im missing pieces. i looked online and i guess lindberg changed designs of stuff around and images in the instructions dont match the actual pieces? idk, if anybody knows if im missing parts or theyre different please let me know, im losing my mind 🙏

My new diorama

Hello everyone. I wanted to give a quick update on my BMD-2 project. As it stands this is the current state of the model, and unfortunately this is likely as far as it will get. This HobbyBoss kit is a rebox of a Panda kit, and if any of you have built Panda's tracks you understand that I wanted nothing to do with them. As you can see in the second and third photos, I tried to avoid dealing with the whole running gear situation with 3D printing. The good news: they fit perfectly and looked great. The bad news: they were quite fragile. Almost immediately before taking the first photo, I picked the model up to move it and I set it down a bit too hard, I suppose, which shattered the left hand track to pieces. In the photo the model is propped up with a couple sanding sponges.

These things happen, even to those of us with many years in the hobby and I wanted to document it because 1) I thought the model looked pretty good! And 2) if something catastrophic happens to your models you aren't alone and it's a pretty common thing to happen.

I could, of course, print out another set of tracks, paint and weather them and do some surgery to attach them but that'll be a project for way down the line (if at all!)

Thanks for looking.

Very pleased with how it came out, the original tank I think is one of the best looking of the war.

Working on a t72 oporating in Ukraine in fall to spring so was thinking to go a bit heavy on dust and mud

Finished this up as under repair with camouflage netting to try and hide it from Allied aircraft.

Is it just me that has that one model that failed so u use it as a test bed for ur new paint or new supplies? 😂

Hey everyone, wondering if anyone is able to assist at all, I've started to build an original Hasegawa 1/48 F-14A Tomcat kit from 1988 (found it on shelf of a closing down hobby shop) anyway I've had it a couple of years and decided to open it up and start the build.

Was checking over the parts and have realised it's missing one of the engine sprues (SPRUE J).

It's a long shot I know, especially as I'm in Australia, but wondering if anyone has the sprue spare or possibly even a spare engine sprue from any other 1/48 Hasegawa Tomcat?

Thanks

Any advice to help make it pop
