    Flu Bug

    One heck of a flu bug going around. I've not had the flu in years but whatever they released on us this time got me. But at least I will have developed an immunity to it. I think I'm on the backside of it now. Everything from fever, achey joints and muscles, coughing, runny nose, sore throat...

    Bristol Beaufighter question

    I have a question on the color of the wing tip lights. There are two clear light parts for each of the wing tips one on the forward side and one on the rearward side and my instructions indicate the color for the forward lights which are the standard red and green, but give no call out for the...

    What's Up With the Forum

    Okay must have been some kind of update here. I have no like button, there is a Cloudflare rectangle with a green checkmark of success below where I am typing this, and though this page goes dark for me the home page is bright white and won't change. Anyone else?

    Tamiya FM-1 Wildcat

    Just completed the Tamiya FM-1 Wildcat and I thoroughly enjoyed the build. I chose the USS Guadalcanal Atlantic theater since all my other Navy builds are Pacific theater. I also included a photo of this one with a F4F I built. Hope you enjoy.

    Copperheads

    Just thought I'd share what living in the deep woods brings into your life. This is the second one of these nasty little creatures I have found right in front of my porch. This is where the second one died and it was sitting on my front porch step when my dog and I nearly stepped on it. The...

    Tamiya Decal improvements

    Tamiya has finally learned how to make thin decals. At least for their newer FM-1 Martlet/Wildcat. I'm blown away by the first two I just put on, I probably could have skipped the decal solution but can't bring myself to skip that. Gotta see how well they settle into place. Should be...

    Tamiyari Hawker Hurricane Mk 1

    Just finished this build so time to share. Not my best but I enjoyed it due to the fact it was my first attempt with PE. I don't buy aftermarket stuff but it came with it and I enjoyed the experience as tedious as it was. Bending that stuff was interesting to say the least. I chose to do the...

    Tamiya AS color conversion chart for mixing Tamiya acrylics

    Hey folks I'm just interested to know if anyone has or knows of a chart showing which Tamiya Acrylics to mix to match their AS colors. Thanks ahead of time to anyone that may know. I know I can decant but I'm not interested in having to do that if I can just mix the colors with paint I already...

    Ultraman

    Anyone else watch this after school as a yute? Man I did along with Johnny Socko and his flying robot. https://pluto.tv/en/search/details/series/5fab1057fd17cc001a009eec/season/1

    A1J Skyraider complete

    I finally got this Skyraider finished. A few snafus but overall I really like how it turned out. This was my first foray into a tri color camo scheme and at painting a camo pattern without masking. I'm pleased with how it turned out. This kit came with an abundance of ordinance and I am glad...

    Mig Metal Acrylics

    Just wondered if anyone has tried the Mig metal acrylic paints and if so how'd they perform. I just ordered a bare metal 4 paint set of them to try out.

    Starlink

    Just got the new starlink internet and if any of you are very rural like myself and stuck with Hughes net for service I highly recommend getting the Starlink. You have to get yourself on the waiting list, ours took 9 months to arrive. Now we are waiting for a pole to put it on and a longer cord...

    Iwata Neo

    Just received my Iwata Neo and all I can say is wow. Did a spray test and it puts my Iwata eclipse to shame. I can now spray at 10 psi no problem and spray really nice thin lines much thinner than I could get with the eclipse at 15 psi which is as low as I could ever get it to spray reliably no...

    Why do we?

    I just have to put this out there. Why do we as modellers spend painstaking time painting small detailed interior parts of models that will never be seen once the model is complete? I currently am trying to break myself of that habit, but yet I find myself doing it on my current build. Is it...

    Life in the Ozarks

    We are blessed to have an abundance of wildlife all around us and I just had to share this pic of our latest visitor. He actually showed up with 7 other deer which have all wandered by in smaller numbers all year. We have a doe that has been raising her twin offspring( the second photo) and...

    In a funk

    Man this sucks. I cannot get myself to sit down and work on anything right now. I typically take short breaks of a few days to a week in between builds but I've never shut down in the middle of a build and I can't seem to shake it. Been going on since a day or two before Thanksgiving. I've tried...

    Vallejo Paints

    Okay I cannot bite my tongue on this. I like Vallejo paints for their ease to use a brush with but for the love of God. German field gray is Green and deep sea green is gray. This does not make sense to me at all.
