    Rick's 1-87 Scale Trident Jagdpanther Conversion

    Thanks Guys, First I had to find a suitable "donor" for the most obvious part of this operation. It's a junk model of a Panther D I got with a bunch of other stuff some years back. I stripped the paint off and it's now ready for surgery.

    Rick's 1-87 Scale Trident Jagdpanther Conversion

    Since I already have a Late version of this model built up, I thought I would try my hand at converting a late version Jagdpanther into an earlier version, but not the earliest. My ref for this build is Spielberger's Heavy Jagdpanzer.....it's a collaboration with Hilary Doyle and Thomas Jentz...

    Help with Cements and other oddities...

    Thanks Gentlemen, I now have an idea of what to expect when I try using these various products. I wasn't sure about the decal setting solution as it was a little "milky" looking and is that normal? All the other setting solutions I have had experience with were clear. Here's the next mysterious...

    Help with Cements and other oddities...

    As the title suggests, I need some help regarding purposes of these various products....first up is a row of cements and other liquids from different makers. I have heard folks comment on this, that and the other cements in the past and paid little or no attention as I have always used Testor's...

    Latest Acquisitions (2023)

    Who says there's no such thing as Christmas in July!!! These four boxes have just arrived from our friends in California. She got them out of her Brother's Estate, and knowing what a Modeling enthusiast I am, asked if I would take them for the postage to get 'em to Montana. You Bet!, sez I and...

    Scania 770s 6X4 Tamiya R/C 1/14

    Yes Ian......I can safely say there is a WRONG way to decant.......found out the hard way. I learned that in order to get it into a jar and not every where else, one has to slow down the spray stream to a manageable velocity. I swapped out the spray nozzle on the rattle can with an old needle...

    Rick's 1-87 scale Phanomen Granit 25H Ambulance

    Here's one last shot with all the COTR.....finally added the two Jerry cans and they fill the space perfectly! Next up will be the fig. mods and then the dio. will get it's own blog in the proper section of the forum. Thanks again for all the nice comments and for the support in completing this...

    Rick's 1-87 scale Phanomen Granit 25H Ambulance

    JR, I checked all my figs. and no Fatlady!!.....best I can do is Matron dressed up in her (other side) wartime garb, offering a cuppa to the poor lad who's reaching for a few pfennigs in payment. Hope this satisfies your request. I could have her hum a few bars of "Deutchland Uber Alles" if...

    What's on the Bench 2023

    Since I have been fiddling with resin I might as well get these finished up.....the last great hurdle is figuring out how to make the headlight guards stand on their own until paint is done, so I can install headlights, lenses and then final assemble the cab and finally fix the light guards in...

    Here's the teaser.....I'll post a couple others in the completed softskins.

    Rick's 1-87 Scale Luftwaffe Phanomen Granit 25H Ambulance

    Glass is in, final assembly complete, COTR is in place. Still needs a jerry can or two (to be added later) and it needs a bit of weathering to hide the defects (numerous). I can't say I'm pleased with the results and I can't say I'm disappointed either. I'll post a final teaser shot once it's...

    Showstopper Diorama

    This has always been an area of interest to me but just no way to scale it or compress it small enough to make it work. I do like the equipment from that particular segment of the conflict.

    Rick's 1-87 Scale Luftwaffe Phanomen Granit 25H Ambulance

    Well, not much to report........got the lights in front and tail lights in the rear doors. Next up, is window glass and then I need to hang the rear doors. After that it will be a mild weather job and then the Fat lady sings!!

    Rick's 1-87 Scale Luftwaffe Phanomen Granit 25H Ambulance

    SURF'S UP!!!!....The long board has arrived, (scratched by yours truly) and Hans has decided to try it out! I got the dull coat on and we are moving towards getting the window glass in and the final details in place before weathering.....still waiting on the "fat" lady. ;)

    Rick's 1-87 Scale Luftwaffe Phanomen Granit 25H Ambulance

    Wheels on! The right front seemed a scale foot off the ground....Once the glue had set enough to put this little darlin' back on her feet, it was off with the right front and plug the axle hole (in the wheel) snip of the axle pin and relocate it! She now is standing on her "all fours". Threw...

    Rick's 1-87 Scale Luftwaffe Phanomen Granit 25H Ambulance

    COTR toned down a little and in place, may add a jerry can or two later but 'sall for now. after the flat coat and some road dust things will look a little more homogenous.
