    Meng's M3A3 Bradley w/Busk III

    I've really enjoyed this build, the interior was a build all of its own and although some aspects of it can no longer be seen I wouldn't change anything if I built it again. I basically followed Flory's build for every step I took and found I learnt a lot, the main paints are Vallejo model air...

    Moebius's Colonial One

    The Cylon War is long over, yet we must not forget the reasons why so many sacrificed so much in the cause of freedom. The cost of wearing the uniform can be high ... but sometimes it's too high. You know, when we fought the Cylons, we did it to save ourselves from extinction. But we never...

    Ade's Good Evening Da Nang F-4C Phantom II

    Well, its finished and I'm glad I carried on with it, the fit issues I had in the beginning were almost too much and it was nearly in the bin on more than one occasions. I used Tamiya paints for the main colours, with Mr Hobby Metal colors. I used Vallejo gloss varnish for the first and last...

    Fantstic people on a great forum.

    I just wanted to voice what a lot of us already know, in that we have a great bunch of people on here. Why am I pointed out what we already know? I posted a thread asking if anyone had just one specific decal, it was a very long shot. Within 24 hours I'd had three replies and offers to send...

    It's me again :) I'm hoping someone can help me out, I need a base for my up coming F-4C Phantom. I've looked through eBay and all the usual sites but can't find anything that's suitable. I need it to be correct for Cam Rahn Bay Air Base circa 1968. I'm pretty useless when it comes to...

    What defines "Pro-built"?

    I'm seeing more and more built models on eBay with the words Pro-built, I wonder what other members think about this and do you sell models with this tag line? For my monies worth a lot of the models I see saying Pro-built do not come up the high standards I see on here, is it a case that...

    Live missiles or Practice missiles?

    I was displaying my A10 Thunderbolt at the IPMS Birmingham show yesterday when I was asked to explain my build, apparently I have mixed live missiles with practice ones. I couldn't explain it but said I had followed the instructions for a loadout according to Tamiya's guidelines. So could...

    Plaster of Paris to Plastic?

    I wondered if anyone's got any tips with regards to laying plaster of Paris to a plastic base, I've roughed up the base and will be using PVA glue to stick them together. Is this about all I can do or is there something else people have done in the past? Adrian

    1st attempt at a face, your opinions?

    As the title says I've had a go at painting a face, its not fantastic but wanted your thoughts, to be fair it loos a lot better when the camera flash isn't washing it out :) I can see myself that the lips need a different colour and the pupils need dotting, but please jump in and help out...

I plan to build it straight out the box as there is so much in there anyway, I'm hoping to make steady progress as I plan to enter it into our Christmas competition. I've had...
