    Display cabinet

    I have a glass Ikea cabinet that I modified. They don't have the exact model anymore, but it's similar to this: https://www.ikea.com/us/en/p/blaliden-glass-door-cabinet-black-00520519/ The price was about the same too, $79. I went to Ace Hardware and had them cut some 1 square foot panes of...

    Time to build some models...

    Like Jim62 said, an airbrush is a game changer. Cheap ones are fine to start, ebay isn't a bad place to look, though some of the used ones can get really expensive. I have an old Paasche single-action that I bought many years ago that I still use & I love it, but it's only good for broad, even...

    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...

    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...
