Home of the modeling savants....Celebrating forty years of modeling fun, education, and history in 2024!

Keith Lemke says he got another one done. I'm officially out of chrome bare metal foil. Parts box wheels and tires and I made the dual rear antennas. That's where they were mounted on these cars. Was excited because it had a great decal sheet with all the gauges, emblems, motor labels, etc. To bad they broke apart in water. They were useless. Two more on the bench and ready to start. 

Scott Herbert:  Moebius Models 1:6 scale. Robot B9 from Lost in Space. Painted with Vallejo Metal colors aluminum and dark aluminum for the arms and legs. I got an after market upgrade for the head which is a glass dome but the rest is from the kit. I did manage to light it in his torso. The buttons glow but not real bright. Oh, also he stands just under 13".  (I asked Scott for a photo with the lights on….so cool! Thanks Scott!)

Tom Miller: This is what I have been doing.
Both Trumpeter kits 1/35  
The first one is a 1087 2.5 ton truck with the 1083 cab panted with Tamaya and Model Master paint.

 

 

The second kit is a 1083 6x6 5 ton truck with the 1087 cab scratch built cargo and a gun turret from a Humvee kit

See ya next week!

Doug Seekman finished two this week: This is the 1/48 classic airframe Martin Baltimore. Painted with model master enamel. Kit decals; painted to represent an aircraft in coastal command. Most of these aircraft were used in north Africa very effectively. The kit was weathered with pastels.
