I'll get the ball rolling this week.

Finally finished my first armour build - Tamiya's 1/35 Stug IV. Thanks to everyone who offered guidance along the way! I've enjoyed it from start to finish

Decided to place my work in the forum as I am a little away in the last weeks/months and we should put more of our builds in this wonderful forum of ours
Im still working on this resin figure from a Portuguese Brand , Modelix Studio , they are in 54 mm , and it is called 'Batalhão de Marinha , Angola 1915 ' (sorry Dan ... ) , in English will be Navy Batallion , Angola 1915 , they were an elite portuguese unit back to WW1 years, and they fight German incursions in Portuguese African Colonies in 1914/1915 even before the war started.

About this figures , they were painted with Vallejo model colour and also some from Andrea Miniatures , and still a lot of work to do , must work on their eyes and skin and some more details , to paint the figures and as s no colour photos avaible , only old ilustrations avaiable but a visit to the Navy museum in Lisbon last weekend was very good to clarify and decide how they should be painted , yes modelling and history toghether , by the way if you visit Lisbon , this is a very nice museum to visit , specially if you like boatsand realted stuff ,also have some planes , it is very interesting !

My work:

SCALE: 120mm
MAKE: Verlinden
SUBJECT: B17 Bomber Crew Figure
PAINTS: Model Master enamels and acrylics for the body and gear, and Windsor & Newton Oils for the face
OTHER: Map and cigarette but on the tarmac at his feet (smile) both made from scratch. Oak wood base.

Built after watching the movies "Memphis Bell, and "Fortress" again. I love the sculpt of the model as it gives the 1000 mile stare of a veteran going up one more time knowing the odds are against him returning; but he does it because of duty, honor, country, and the commitment to his other airmen that will be there with him.

What we have here is a tiny 1/144 misrepresentation of the Ansett Airlines of Australia Douglas DC-9-30, VH-CZL, in 1979. The kit is a Fly models DC-9-30 reboxed by Red Roo Models with Hawkeye decals. The engines are Contrails JT9Ds with those vital extra two millimeters. The paints are Tamiya TS-26 and TS-83 with my own mix of Boeing Grey and Ansett Orange. While I'm here, a semi question. I hear everyone talking about priming in black but I find a coat of something metallic, say Tamiya AS-12, shows up blemishes better than gloss black. Maybe it's a matter of different scales.

This week I've been doing a bit more on the joker bust got some shading done and a couple of flesh tones down ☺

I have been working on my Hasegawa's 1/72 F/A-18C Hornet “VFA-97 Warhawks” wich i have been working on and off for a long while. I used an Eduard PE set on this kit wich made me lose my mojo a couple of times. but the end is nearing now.

This is where i got to this week:

If your intrested i have a build thread of this kit up aswell:
viewtopic.php?f=35&t=16755&p=312701#p312701

Hello all So I started the Revell/Zvezda Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner and wanted to do it in the Thomson (now TUI) livery.

I spent a long time online sourcing decals for this particular scheme. I found a website called 26Decals that do a large selection of airliner decals For this build you still have to do the three tone paint scheme yourself so I made a custom mix of Tamiya XF-2 and Tamiya X-14 for the lighter blue and for the darker blue I used Tamiya X-4. The tail was Tamiya XF-2, X-14 and a little bit of Aqueous violet into it to give it a slight purple hue. The curvy lines were easy enough using the Aizu tape sold at Ultimate. The whole aircraft is just Ultimate white....Lovely stuff, Not my words.

Then I started decals and luckily, unlike many aircraft there are not many decals to apply. All the doors, windows and logos went down perfectly. I can not fault the Decals Still the Engines to go and pretty much done.

Looks like it's been a week for figure painting... I finally got around to finishing off the crewman for my 1/35 Asuka Luchs. The trousers and cap were done in Andrea field grey, the jacket in various shades of Vallejo and the flesh was Andrea again. The uniform was given a couple of thin washes of black/brown mix to bring it all together. The jacket is just my own interpretation so isn't historically accurate but I'm pretty happy with the result.

That's this one done and heading to a shelf.

Managed to finish this Fujimi Porsche 917k during last weekend Le Mans race. I started it at the start of last years race with the goal of having it done durin the race, but when the decals turned out really bad I put it away and decided to repaint and decal the body this year. Except for the Shunko decals, a set of belts and the two 3d printed fins it´s build out of the box. The body was painted in Ultimate primer and then Zero paints 2k clear, the rest of the paints are mostly Tamiya, neutral grey and black. Not my best build, but for a 24 hour (sort of) build it will look good on the shelf.

Well here we go...
Current progress on my submission for the Bomber sig.
Academy b-29 in 1/72 scale. Most of the interior is now done, just some touch ups to do. Ultimate black primer and then a load of Tamiya colours on top. Might not be totally accurate but trying to get its to visually interesting inside. Spent an age detailing the cockpit then realised you can't see owt when it's closed up!



And yes that is a huge seam line down the edge of the crew tunnel but it will be hidden when it's closed up

Cheers
