    HMS Victory Revell 1/146

    I wouldn't worry about the stripes. this things could have been repainted/cleaned while at sea so the sailors were probably not to worried about getting it perfect, particularly when hanging overboard on ropes in the rough waves, also I am sure the paint/stain was pretty easy to wear off.

    HMS Victory Revell 1/146

    You could possibly just "close the hatch" on the missing ones below deck. Not sure if the kit has separately molded hatches or not Of course you could take a page from the Doolittle raid and replace the missing guns with broomsticks

    of course the other option is raise the rear gear, but if the front is set for that angle than that will also have to be fixed

    Star Wars Theme Group Build

    I'd say done, and very nicely apart from landing gear height Love the color scheme and weathering But yeah, the engine should be parallel to the ground instead of the front being higher if you go by ANH hangar scenes but you could always make an argument for this one needing new pistons or...

    Mixing for a Copper color

    Painting raised lettering

    you could try painting some liquid mask around the letters. If you get any on the letters just wipe it off before it dries Then when you paint the letters if you go over a bit it won't matter Something like Vallejo liquid mask

    Mixing for a Copper color

    I'll second the burnt sienna I used a thinned glaze of that color to get the coppery look for these pipes (I wanted an in scale dull old copper look so I did not actually want to use metallic paint)

    Academy 1/72 A-10A from “Operation Iraqi Freedom”

    I have that kit almost completed. It was kind of a disappointing kit and I wound up setting it aside. Lot of seam work needed and the engines just look off Looking good so far though Good luck with the rest!

    Hanging airplane models on the wall?

    Not mine, but I was thinking something along this lines might be nice. Would not even need to be that heavy duty for smaller scale stuff like 1/72 or something like this you could probably do with bits from the hardware/shelving sections or this
