Since I’ve already built a A1A in SEA camouflage colors I was thinking I might make this recent build US Navy bird. Comments greatly appreciated.

Did I bit of metal highlighting to the A1 engine using Uschi’s metal polishing powder. Absolutely wonderful stuff!

You’ll love the kit. I did mine in a Iraq War scheme however can be painted in NATO camouflage!

Finished my last model of 2014 with this Tamiya 1/35 scale WW2 US Sherman M4A3 Tank. I built 22 models this year! Yes there is still lots of room in the basement, lol!!!

Although it sat on my bench for eight months unfinished it finally completed and ready to be added to the shelves of armor! Tamiya 1/35 M109A6 Paladin (Iraq War). With a 155mm ramjet-assisted cannon that can punch through armor and buildings, a point defense laser for neutralizing missiles, and tough composite armor, the Paladin is perhaps one of the tanks with the highest survivability in the world. Really a great kit and of course highly recommended.

Finally finished painting the A1J’s engine. Pretty pleased with their effort.

No that actually a LEGO!!

I agree. Its worked well in my study!

I saw that on a Japanese FB post and thought it was a brilliant idea.

Mostly driven by price plus I ran out of Tamiya lots to build, lol!!

Finished my Revell 1/35 P204(f) Armored Scout Vehicle this afternoon. Great kit, fantastic detail and a joy to build. Highly recommended!

Thanks Kevin. Highly recommend it.

Several things. Masking the panel on my Revell 1/48 Sabra Jet and assembling the upper hull on my Tamiya 1/35 Churchill.

Good morning from the USA headquarters of The Basement Air Force!! This is where all my scale modeling damage occurs, lol!!!

It’s coming along nicely however lots of seams to fill and sand.

Merry Christmas everyone! I hope your holiday season is filled with happiness and joy! Oh and if you haven’t purchased and shipped my 1/16 armor kit gift….. you’re in luck…… there’s still a bit of time left, lol!!!

Primed the engine this evening in preparation for hand painting.

Thanks to some superglue and hardener the landing gear has been repaired!! However I still hate sanding seams lines!!

So I did it, lol!!! Broke off one of the main gear while sanding the damn belly seams!!! Did I say I hate seams work???

Thanks Dennis. The main gear was a bit fiddly however the rest of the build was pretty straightforward.

Thanks it was fun using a few new techniques especially the rust effects on the exhaust along with added the mud!

Oh thanks. It was a fun kit to experiment with a few new techniques!

After what seemed like a life time I finally sat down at my bench this afternoon and finished my Meng 1/35 Sd.Kfz.182 King Tiger (Porsche Turret) German Heavy Tank. I had heard a lot of negative press regarding this kit but I enjoyed the build and highly recommended the kit.

Finished my Revell 1/32 British Martlet Mk.V this evening. The kit can either be built as a US Navy F4F-4 or as a British Martlet Mk.V. Mold was dated 1992. Great kit, easy build and recommended.

Sanding, sanding and more sanding of seams!!! No wonder I love armor builds so much!!! Sanding seams sucks the life blood out of a person, lol!!!
