My biggest modelling feat so far, the excellent AMK's MiG-31BM 'Foxhoud'. By clicking on the below photo, you will access the article on my blog including the photo gallery.

Well here it is. A lovely kit to build and paint. Word of warning re the tracks though. Like Dragon DS and some other tracks, these will glue with normal modelling glues. However, as they are delicate, Tamiya Extra thin virtually burnt through them. The white cap Tamiya and, I would...

Hi folks!!! The latest product of my workbench: I-16 "Rata" (Rat) in 1/48 scale from Ark Models. Colours from Vallejo, Gunze and Model Master. Cheers Stefan:)

My next build was a BMW found on ebay some time ago and I thought I have to have one of those old beemers. Kit itself is very basic (no decals) and little that I knew of the kit quality before buying and the body was damaged (firewall and A pillar) when I got it. This didn't discouraged me much...

This is on I did a couple of years ago. This is the Academy 1/72 kit. I think the markings were for an aircraft based on the Charles De Gaulle in 2011. Ralph

This is one quick,weekend project,1:35 scale russian sniper....

Hi Friends. This is my latest.Tamiya 1/48 with Tamiya maintenance crew. Hope you enjoy. All the best Ralph.

Just recently finished this one. I've learned a lot from my other 1/48 scale aeroplane kit. This time I've done a much better job hiding the seam on the wings (and most other seams between plastic pieces) and I've made the plane look a lot more grimy using pigments. The kit itself is...

Latest to be finished in 120mm scale, had the figures for a couple of years and decided to finish it at last. The Buffs (3rd Regiment) 1811, hope you like it Peter

Well, after a little break, due to family bereavement and all the awful flak that accompanies it, I got back on to putting the finishing touches on this long build! I an say it has been the most enjoyable painting experience, as I've experimented with different techniques, most of which will...

Hi Friend's This is another of my figure's An old David Grieve figure 80mm scale. Hope you enjoy.

Great fan of Game of Thrones so just had to do this oils over acrylics 1/10 scale took a while to get it right (well I think) really enjoyed doing it bit of a change from my usual stuff any comments most welcome as always Peter

Well, got a whisk on and got this one beat today. It was all painting and decals so no pictures Really enjoyed doing this, it was a fun little model to build and I just love the guy doing the Space Walk. Hope you approve :)

Just put the wraps on this . Ca'nt say enough great things about this kit,one of the best I've ever built. Fit and finish is top notch and the instruction booklet even has actual reference pictures included. The decals laid down very nicely and accepted the Walthers Solvaset blending into the...

I have finally finished my lads RC Sherman, so it was out for a spin, unfortunately my battery died so my Tiger was a sitting duck :( A cautious Sherman spies the Tiger... It closes in gun ready to blast the Tiger... The Tiger appears abandoned but a search of the area is...

Hello you guys. Sorry I didn't post a wip on this one but it was a pretty full-on build over the last 4-5 months. The basis was the Revell E Type but I actually only used about 1/2 the kit. The whole rear end, roof and screen are my own scratch work, as is virtually everything under the...

Hi guys, finally I can called it done: the Harrier GR Mk.3. The W.I.P. is here Take off in a "Jump Jet" with the Harrier Gr. Mk.3! This Hasegawa's 1/72 scale kit is typical of Hasegawa design and manufacturing. The kit went together with minimal fuss, no putty and little sanding. It's an OOB...

Finally got round to finishing my little Phantom. Some people will know how I struggled with this, partly through my own stupidity and partly through incorrect paint guides! All told this was my third set of decals and I can't tell you how many times it nearly went in the bin! Anyway its all...
