Kampfgruppe144 BBS

Here am the bits.
The resin is seemingly flawless, with extremely finely engraved panel lines and only a couple of tiny bubbles at the extremes, though I think these extremes will be designed to be sanded off.

There's a lot of white metal. Very little flash and just the...

This was a contribution to the 1/144 Group Build, where 'Black' was the theme.

I hadn't realised before, but this is a kit of two models, the Aircraft-version AND the Big Robot-Suit Thingy.

I'd got this a while back, attracted to the early rocketship aesthetic.
This is a kit of few parts and an even simpler paint scheme...shiny!

Some painting effort will be needed to make the base look half-decent;

This is a very, very pointy rocketship, with a very,...

Erm...not a lot of parts with this one, although the resin IS beautifully cast, with a texture that's begging for...er....something!

Are we having maggots for tea, Mother?

One of the sticky-out bits was a tad bent, or warped! , as they say, in Resin Land.

So I put...

I posted this yesterday on ARC:

I have an idea... ( I know, before anybody says don't hurt yourself, go take a nap )... Bandai's Y-Wing is much more refined and more detailed than F-Toys. BUT F-Toys Y-Wing is a tad bit LARGER than Bandai's. So here's what I'm considering......

Another 'Special' from Fantastic Plastic.

Only the slightest of seam lines to remove and the vaguest hint of slight warping with the forward and rear 'booms'.

Fantastic Plastic have updated thier schedule, and there are anow 3x Items from Bablyon 5 up for pre-order!

I've been working on this one for a little while. I was inspired by the YouTube channel:
Boylei Hobby Time.

I bought a kit version of the Bandai Speeder and AT-ST set at a Hobby Lobby awhile back with no real plan for them. At the same time I had a glass jar that fit a base I...

I had this 3D printed 1/144 scale Shield Generator hanging around for awhile, and finally had the inspiration and motivation to throw it together.

It started out like this with a pair of pre-built Bandai Speeders.

The Shield Generator was sprayed with a grey primer, then...

It takes a moment for your eyes to adjust :D

Hi all,

Been watching Solo tonight, Rogue One tomorrow - the benefits of my wife signing up to Disney Plus!

I've been browsing the Bandai kits on Amazon, price seems to vary wildly. Which are worth getting and what is a good price?

I know the AT-AT is good but a little big...

Hello All,

Not sure what the scale is when it's all said and done as it relates to box size. It may well be in the vicinity of 1/144 when compared to the fine molds millennium falcon.

Anyways happy to take it down if it creates grief.

Whilst somewhat costly, at least you do get two in the box and the plastic seems well moulded, with lots of good detail and a comprehensive decal sheet...and stands...and pilots...and they're in 1/72!
I've already started painting the smaller pieces. 
NOTE that the pilots arm...

Well it's not 1/144, but it's made up of a number of 1/144 kits. Mainly a Swedish 'S' tank, a couple of Spitfires (Trumpeter and Minicraft so, you know, no loss), P-47, B-17, and I believe the yellow drop tank is from an F-Toys Shiden-kai. When I went to spray the rattle can...

Recently purchased from a couple of stores on Shapeways are a couple of classic 1970's Sci-Fi vehicles. Both are primed and ready to be painted.

Landspeeder is scaled for the 15mmrange and the BattleStar Galactica Landram is 1/150th scale.

In a sleepy little model railroad town in the basement of the family home a Bigfoot was sighted. Witnesses were so shocked at the initial sighting their first pictures were blurry. Eventually they were able to take clearer shots in subsequent photos. The...
