Thanks guys! Both models are now on display alongside a 1/48th scale Helldiver made by museum President, Gene Madara.

More to come in this series...

Nice dio - interesting to see a presentation that doesnt involve a tangle of steel or a pile of bodies!

The designers at Antonov certainly don't believe in size limitations when it comes to aircraft. :D

Wholeheartedly agree, nils. When I'm seeing mid-1970's castings complete with extraneous flash being wheeled out at a price you might be willing to pay for a state-of-the-art kit with PE and all the trimmings, then I have to ask what's going on. I suppose it must be working for...

The Covert Shores' T-shirts are pretty snazzy, too! ;)

Chibi is apparently Japanese slang for short and many anime and manga have adopted this for caricatures. When I saw this thread, I also thought of the Meng series which do retail in the odd local hobby shop Down Under (when they are open, anyway). They definitely appear way more...

Pre-finished and pre-assembled? Must be gashapon. Hell, hope it's not an egg toy ... :P

:lol: :lol:

Nice to see a bit of sci-fi modelling!

Now that is a BLACKhawk ... even the white bits are black! :P

Well done, that looks very lovely indeed. Quite right that it should go on display. :)

It's a terrible shame. I suspect a contributing factor is the high level of financial scrutiny Jackson's business concerns came under in the wake of the Gene De Marco scandal.

Absolutely brilliant in execution and creativity. Plenty of giggles here, too. Going to forward the links to my older daughter as she just loves these quirky things. :lol:

And I agree about the slowness of the page transitioning on the calendar. Thought it was this Lenovo Boat...

Sign of the times. Seems like Welsh Models have concurred the halcyon days of vacform kits are over because of the exponential rise in resin kits. Of course, the one area of vacforming that is still on the rise is that of canopies, and this is primarily because there's no viable...

Great idea! And yes, a few days of seagull deposits later, the Corsair would look more like someone had whitewashed the surfaces! :P

Perhaps I should do this Huey Medivac on display just outside the Dandenong Returned and Services League (RSL), which in turn is right on the...

Very smart. It’s a big beast isn’t it.

A few years ago I encountered an attack sub heading out on patrol as I was coming up the Clyde. It’s a relative midget compared to the Kursk but it just went on and on and on. Colossal thing.

Thanks Smeg! Given Dragon's recent spate of releases or re-releases in 1/144 I think your goal may not be far off. :D I like her ultimate form most though, the Puma. :mrgreen:

What a novel twist on modelling film scenes! The use of models from different scales is exploited beautifully. And it would be the ideal approach for someone who can't stick to the one scale for more than a model at a time. :P

Unbelievable! I have admired your work for quite a while, but this really takes the cake!! Is the whole thing paper?

Love it. I’m going to have to build a few of these. Love the colourful tails. Pretty easy to pull decals together. That’s a beautiful build.
