    Aircraft ID help please

    Morning all, Can any one help ID this aircraft? I'm thinking F-15 based on the tail??

    Tamiya Ducati Superleggera - A bike for Tony Stark

    Afternoon all, This kit was a car boot sale bargain at £15. As I'd built it "properly" before and it was cheap I decided to have some fun with it. I'd already decided on a pimped out paint scheme, but along the way someone pointed out that it was very much along the lines of Iron Man/Tony...

    Tamiya 1/12 Ducati Superleggera - Take Two

    Afternoon all, I build this kit a couple of years ago (thread here), and whilst I don't typically re-build the same kit, I couldn't pass this up. The original retail price for the kit (going by the box sticker) was £52.50, I picked this one up at a car boot sale last summer for £15! It was...

    Thanks to Lee for hosting the GB. This is what I did.

    Tamiya Porsche 911 GT3 RS

    Morning All. :) I've been experiencing some mojo loss of late and haven't built in a while. I'm hoping this kit might snap me out of it.

    Talk to me about Vallejo Premium paints

    Hi guys, I'm about to embark on painting a couple of Lexan RC bodies, something I've not done for many years (around 20 or so). Back in the day I used to use SpazStix or Faskolor, but I see that John sells the Vallejo Premium range which apparently work with polycarbonates. Having never used...

    Stirling Hot Air Engine

    Morning all. Another model engine, this time an external combustion heat engine. Quite interesting as to the way it works by using the heating and cooling of air in an sealed environment to create oscillation. If anyone would like to look at the plans in more detail they are freely...

    1/24 Tamiya Sauber-Mercedes C9

    Afternoon all. :) I started this kit way back at the beginning of July, it was my second entry into the Racers GB. I didn't finish it in time and it has been sitting on my bench ever since. Stupidly as the GB deadline approached I rushed to get it finished, and as a result it is far from my...

    Elmers Standby #19 Model Steam Engine

    Morning all. :) I decided it was time I used my machines to build something other than tooling, so I've chosen this as my first engine build. This is a model of a simple steam (or in my case air) powered engine designed my Elmer Verberg. This is a relatively cheap build, there are no castings...

    Hemingway Kits Knurling Tool

    Morning all, So I've had my mill for a few months now, the lathe I've had around 4 years. Since I've had the mill I've been busy learning how to use it and decided it was time to actually build something useful. Hemingway supply kits to model engineers, including engines and locomotives, but...

    Closing ceremony

    Hi guys, I just wanted to say a big thank you to all the GB participants. We had some nice and varied models, and I sincerely hope that those who have not built cars/bikes before will give them a go again in the future. I myself didn't get to finish my 2nd build despite maximum effort over the...

    Dice

    Morning all. :) Not really a model per se, but within the category of model engineering. I've had a small lathe for a few years now and earlier this year added a small milling machine. My end plan is to be able to machine small engines and steam engines, but as of right now I am still...

    IT problems

    Hi guys, Anyone else effected by this global IT/Microsoft issue? Our back office system is down (I work in financial services) so I'm sat here twiddling my thumbs. :( If it had of happened yesterday I was working from home and could have got on with some modelling. :)

    1/24 Tamiya Sauber-Mercedes C9

    Hi Guys, My 2nd entry to the GB will be this: I've decided to throw some aftermarket at it, so currently waiting on a delivery from Spot Models in Spain which should hopefully arrive next week. In the meantime I will make a start getting the body ready, and probably start putting the...

    Mr Bowcat's 1/48 Bandai Raider AT-ST (The Mandalorian) (Andy's Star Wars GB)

    Thanks to Andy for hosting the GB. This was a quick and (literally) dirty build, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. :)

    Mr Bowcat's 1/48 Bandai Raider AT-ST (The Mandalorian)

    Right, cracked on with this build today. I decided to start with the cockpit/turret as I want to add a red LED light in there to mimic the walker from the show. For those not familiar with The Mandalorian, the show is set some time after Return of the Jedi. This walker has been abandoned by...

    Mr Bowcat's 1/48 Bandai Raider AT-ST (The Mandalorian)

    Morning guys, Another chicken walker I'm afraid, but I'm going to try and do something different and paint it as the Klatoonian Raider's version from S1E4 Sanctuary. This is the kit (mods, let me know if I need to post sprue shots, there is already at least one thread here with these). And...
