Calling this one done. This was for the ism group build it's the tamiya 1/24th scale kure nismo gt-r. Never seen one of these built before so I thought I would build one.It was primed in Ultimate gloss black for the main colour.The gloss coat was tamiya ts13 the decals went down well

.
AMT Anakins Pod Racer

Pod is now completely painted

Decals were goosed apart from the one for the nose that would not sit right,so painted the stripes on the back then masked of the nose the best I could and sprayed over the decal.

Added some Ultimate Clay washes to the base (Rust then dark dirt) to give it some colour, still has to be dry brushed.

Engines are also painted and ready for gloss.. Probably see it shortly on Facebook

Hope you like it

This week I have been mainly working on you guessed it the church, bring the different parts together to get it to primmer stage. One more wall and column to be added which will be done by Saturday. Filming the series is now becoming differcuilt due to the size of it, what was i thinking....happy modelling all.

Monogram 1/25 1966 Pontiac GTO build for Muscular Dystrophy Awareness "Muscle Car" group build.
Pretty much box stock except for the wheels, which came from a '67 GTO kit.
Paintwork is Dupli-color Perfect Match Pure Green Pearl, Molotow Chrome marker, and Testors Wet Look clear lacquer
Engine wired and plumbed using .022 solder, and ribbon cable wire for heater hoses.
GTO badge is a reproduction interior badge from Yearone.

Took a shot a something smaller than I usually work with. On the go at the same time. A few small things left to paint and then some weathering.
Left is the Tamiya Type 166 Schwimmwagen Tamiya Dark Yellow and NATO green over Ultimate black primer.
Right is Tamiya M151A2 MUTT with TOW missile launcher. My first attempt at the MERDC camo used by US forces in the late 70s, early 80s. Tamiya XF65 Field Grey XF69 NATO Black, Mig Middlestone and Tan all over Ultimate black primer. The middlestone and black are brush painted. Airbrushing lines that small failed miserably for me.
Thank you all. Have a good weekend.

Hi guys Happy Friday
Progress on the 1/12 Tamiya Suzuki Walter Wolf Special with fairings test fitted and decals starting
Four days off and hope to finish her up. Been eyeing up Paul’s motorcycles for sale, hmmm
Have a good weekend all, I have busy hockey weekend with my boy so will watch on the replay

Hello Dan and the Crew,
This is my Meng Toon Tiger I, Aside from the added co-axial MG barrel in the turret, its totally out of the box.
Primed in Ultimate Gelb, - basecoat and details in MIG acrylics and weathered with Abteilung oils and pigments.

I'm surprised how much i enjoy these silly little things - I usually lean towards the "Rivet Counter" end of the model spectrum, but for some reason I find them amazingly appealing to work on.

I won't be able to catch the Live show tomorrow, but I'll take this opportunity to wish all the crew and the community all the best and a good enjoyable weekend.
Derek

I took a bit of a break from the MiG-25 and built a little Meng kit for Scott's bomber build. I still hope to get the B1-B built, but just in case here is a little plane I am calling "Pinch Hitter".



I primed it using Ultimate Gloss Black and then used Vallejo Metal Colors. I used Dark Aluminum on the body and Exhaust Manifold for the engine accents. Vallejo Model Air Red was used for the other accents. The only modification to the kit was to drill out the gun barrels. I did that using a small electric drill and nerves of steel. Ok, that last part isn't true. As far as kit mods go drilling out gun barrels is pretty easy. It was a fun little kit to build and a nice distraction. I did decide to leave off any other markings as the kit only came with stickers and I just can't put stickers on a kit- ever. Nothing in my stash of extras was the right size, so I left her blank.

I really like the Vallejo Metal Colors, they are a little more forgiving than Alclad but still give a nice metal finish. Anyone wanting a nice metal finish should at least consider them.

Evening folks.

Work progressing slowly on the 1/72 M&S rebox of the Revell Lanc and 1/32 Trumpy Dauntless using all the materials seen in the pic which are available from www.umpretail.com.

Lanc: I had painted the fuselage camo in Tamiya acrylics but didn't like the finish so I'm half way through repainting with MRP's - much better job! All the fiddly bits primed and painted so next step is sealing everything ready for weathering. I know you don't need to but I'll feel safer given that I'm going to use oils to weather for the first time

Dauntless: Sea Blue upper now fixed and I'm slightly happier - watch this space for further amendments (wheels are dry fitted) Weapons and aerials etc ready for painting.

Thanks for looking.

Working on the m113 diorama base . finished up the cobblestones. Will be weathering them up next week hopefully. Paint used Vallejo yellow ochre. green ochre, dark grey, black red , saddle brown , german camo brown and panzer aces canvas. Used a diy wet palette to keep the paint/ mixes between sessions.

Hog from hell
A-10 by tamiya built for the cold war gb . Full build log in the cold war gb section of the forum . This week has been spent on adding tonal variations to the base colours

Hope you all have a good weekend andrew

For tonight I shall be working on the 1/32 HK models, Dornier Do335A, which was bought for me as part of the ISM Birthday club. This is a big model, did I tell you this is a big model? with lots parts and as such has to be built in sub-assemblies due to it's sheer size, I did tell you it was BIG? anyways it's rather large and if I continue, it won't fit back in the box.

Not much bench time this week, with my mam visiting from Spain. Making decent progress with the decals on my Tamiya Tom's SC430 Lexus.

First time using Cartograph Decals and now I know what all the fuss is about...Laying down really well directly onto painted surface...#nogloss The large areas are made up of multiple decals and they have all welded together really nicely, using only Set/Sol so should be perfect when I hit them with Solvaset!
Wibble!

Belts started for the fujimi 1/24 skyline gtr
