    Doughnuts and burning rubber

    Slow progress, laid down some chrome... Gloss black and matt black next. ... touch up with the red paint that came with the kit should go well, already tried and it is a pretty good match with the rattlecan body paint.

    TITANIC MODEL

    Here is a chapter you won't likely come across: As the railroad crossed Canada from east to west, there sprung up grand hotels in the major cities, literally across the street from the railway stations. In Ottawa, it was the Chateau Laurier, and it's first consignment of fine furniture was to...

    Hobby Craft 1/72 Sukhoi SU-22 Fitter - COMPLETED

    No matter how you cut it, looks great! ...and to have moved the ball, even a little, so worthwhile!

    About as much tapering as I'm comfortable with. The top was easy, as I could just sand it flat from the outside. It does make a difference.

    Airfix Bugatti Chiron 1-48

    Welcome to the land of mere mortals! Seeing as the kit is relatively small, should be survivable... ;)

    Thanks. An improvement that makes it seem more plausible, IMHO... going up against DAK armour, those boys need all the help they can get. From what I understand, the M6 combo was pretty much obsolete, and after North Africa, many had the guns removed for use of the truck. ...sort of tapering so...

    Trumpeter's SBD 3- Dauntless (as flown by Lt. Cm Richard H Best)-Work in progress

    Nice, tonal variations worked out well! Multiple thin coats seems to be a recurring theme, not just with planes, but armour, cars, figures, ships... everything!
