    Advice on making your own painting masks

    I had a Silhouette for awhile, but I wasn't using it enough so I sold it and bought a laser engraver instead. It is definitely a different beast altogether. The Silhouette could do some things better- if your only need is for cutting masks, the Silhouette is probably the way to go. But I very...

    Scratchbuilt Airfield Structures

    After poking around the abandoned airfields website, I came upon a photo of a rotating beacon tower at Mellar Field west of Houston. And since I needed a project to keep my laser cutter busy, I designed this little kit. I settled on a height of around 40 scale feet, which is probably too short...

    Aircraft scale rulers... any value?

    Actually, that's an accident, It's nearly impossible to place these on the laser at exactly zero, so there should always be a liitle tiny space. These are prototypes though. BTW, there are HO scale rulers... I have one that I bought from maybe the last train store in NYC, that was a fun trip...

    Aircraft scale rulers... any value?

    Hi everyone- I'm seeking some opinions here. Below are some photos of a little side project that I've been working on. Using my laser cutter, I've made two simple rulers for common model aircraft scales- 1:144, 1:72, 1:48 and 1:32. They're made from painted strips of white oak hardwood. My...

    My 1:350 TOS Enterprise

    Your color match is great... can't see how you could get it any closer. Very nice work!

    Opinions on Eduard's bombers?

    In general, I never hesitate to buy Eduard kits. I've built several, both 1/72 and 1/48, mostly ww1 and civil aircraft. Because they're mostly modern moldings, the level of fine detail is remarkable- and sometimes beyond my abilities. Their less expensive "weekend edition" and more advanced...

    KP Models Avia BH-3

    Here's a look at my latest, the 1/72 Avia BH-3 from KP Models. This is a rather old kit, as you can probably tell from the yellowed decals. It went together fairly well. This is a part of my "beater" series... old, less expensive kits that I can mess up without losing any sleep if/when I do. No...
