What's on the bench 2022
Picked these three Opels up some years back.....the previous owner had done a very amatureish job of painting them but they were complete and in good shape. I used a product called Wash Away (have used it for Many years) and stripped them back to bare plastic. I'm presently waiting for the...- Mini Me

He is one of the larger shops that carries a huge inventory for those of us that like to build tiny things. So, in the mean time I've decided to do a tank trailer to drag along...- Mini Me

What's on the bench 2022
Here's the pic. I promised.........note the flesh wash is for scale purposes only. As you can see, it is quite small and it is extremely quiet. There is a six position speed control switch and next to that is the polarity switch on the A/C adaptor. It is in no way as powerful as a Dremel or...- Mini Me

Rick's 1/87 Scale Cornerstone P51 Mustang (Lee's P51 GB 2022)
Here's the final result of playing with "shiny" stuff. As I stated in the build thread, just a "small" tribute to the Tuskegee Men who fought and sacrificed in more ways than one, to make a contribution for the Greater good of mankind.- Mini Me

Well, I'm done with the decals and they ain't gonna get any better.......The gear is now on with gear doors and tires.

Rick's Cornerstone 1-87 scale P-51 Mustang
The Red Tail is on!!.....and in the process I knocked the right MLG loose so it is glued back in place and that is why this bird is flying sideways at the present. Hope it holds up. I used a mix of flat and gloss red to achieve a semi gloss finish....I think it has just the right sheen to it...- Mini Me
