    Federation Runabout USS Rio Grande

    Here we go then, thought it was time for me to start on a build. This is the lucky winner, and before some of you say "but you need to finish USS Voyager!". I know, but i need to learn the lighting effects so i don't make a mess of Voyager, plus with the Runabout being 1/72 scale i can learn to...

    Been busy lately

    Well, i have five minutes to myself. First of all, a few weeks back i had no interweb so got on the phone to find out what was going on with my service provider. They gave my no information as they didn't know what was happening, days later we had a letter saying "necessary repairs to phone...

    A little Oddball

    Hello everyone, yes it's me. After recovering from health problems i thought it was time to get to get back to the bench, so the question was what to build? It had to be fun, it had to be a subject i like and had to have some scratch building to get the old gray cells back working to how they...

    Coming down from cloud nine

    Three years ago me and the wife (Wendy) was all at sixes and sevens panicking because our youngest daughter Ashlee was taking a very big step and going to University, out in the big wide world. In the first year you could guarantee we was in Lincoln every weekend, not because she wanted us there...

    American Chopper (ish) Finished, Centurion3RTR

    It's now finished Woop!! No, i can't say woop really as it was a very enjoyable build and it took me out of my comfort zone. I did have problems though, i was going to fit all the brake lines and wireing. It just wouldn't do as it was told, so now i've made it look like it's going through the...

    American Chopper (ish), Centurion3RTR GB Build

    Hi all, after seeing Paul (Beowulf) Custom Chopper I thought I'd join in on the fun. So onto Ebay and ordered this one, it's the Revell 'Crusader' but by the looks of it it's the same chopper as Paul's but with different wheels and decals. How am I going to build this, to be honest, I haven't...

    Drive on the Right

    Or this could happen!! How do all, been working on this build for a good few weeks now but it wasn't going to look like this when I started it. This build kind of evolved, I was going for a desert scene, lots of sand, the QL up to it's back axle in sand with someone digging it out and the Jeep...

    Panzer III Ausf. N

    Another one bites the dust, and off the bench. Tamiya's Panzer III Ausf. N with photo etch & aluminium gun barrel, and a very nice kit too. The only things I added was all the gear on the back, including a bucket just for Ron lol and two figures in winter clothes. Believe it or not this was 90%...

    Panther D from Italeri

    First of all, i apologise for my absence. Had a few family problems that need sorting out and modeling had to take backstage, but as you can see i got to the bench and finished this "thing". I brought this kit as the shop was closing and was £30, so i came out with it (you could say it was my...

    Red five standing by. "What if SIG"

    What if we didn't have Star Wars, what if it was real but on good old planet Earth. Hopefully the Republic would of used the F-14 and would be painted like this. I don't think i need to go into the story of Star Wars and if i do "where have you been?". R2 is in the back too, but he's now human...

So this is what came out of the stash (well, what i could get my hands on easily), the Warrior MCV from Academy. Roll...
