Thought it'd be fun to take you through the process of me trying to repair, replace, and repaint these two behemoth toy models. NOTE: I am not really performing any major surgery or modification on these two, as I'm now a bit pressed for time to get them done for an...

Very interesting thread!
I admit that from time to time I am tempted to start a real big kit (I have nothing in 1/18, but a decades old Airfix 1/24 Stuka somewhere). But looking at my shelf space I can easily resist. Also I'm afraid I'd never finish it, because having build...
Another piece out of serious scale but due to his reduced dimensions it could enter :D
A small airfix model of a school two-seater. A cute little jet that looks like it's made of a huge long probe canopy and a few planes around.
It is OOB except for the seat belts with buckles...

You see! good idea, it could be tried..... for tooth decay 😁
Just received my order of this set in 1/700. Pretty good. You get two Sunderlands, a Fairmile C Gunboat, dockside buildings and ramps, PE set including props and 1/700 figures.
The Fairmile C is as far as I know the only example in injection kits and would look pretty good with...

I'm very interested to see how you go too. I bought L'Arsenals 1/700 Sunderlands the other week. In error unfortunately, as I thought it was the 1/350 set that I was purchasing. They are pretty sketchy, to be honest and have some missing parts. I imagine the Flyhawk ones must be...
This isn't in fact model :D this had to be just a base, approximately 6*8cm for DSRV Mytic (Alvin)...
But instead of sending me photo of the hatch area where lands and connects, my friend send me complete model of this monster ( more than feet long :shock: ).
And as usual...
Since I've only been working in 1/72 for some time (and some time to follow) I wanted to post something I finished. It's the Hobbis DOBI-I. I didn't take any photos with anything for scale comparison, but trust me when I say this is small. I actually think Miniwing's Ouragon is...

Lovely little build, Matt. And now count the days until one of our forum brethren starts scratchbuilding a 1/144 scale version! ;)
1:160 DODX w/Mystery Balloon Coming 04/23 Micro-Trains USA
In early 2023, the United States Air Force shot down a mystery balloon off the coast of South Carolina. Salvaged from the coastal waters, the instrument array, solar panels and deflated balloon...
Well, finally finished 8-)
This is my first 3D model, for a moment 1/72 but there are couple of 144 models to be assembled.
Made some changes during assembling but in the end I'm happy with it.
I think that photos say more than words ...
Was produced and used...

Sorry, I completely forgot! And I was the only one commenring on that . . . :oops:
I am canvasing for opinion here. I am planning on building the Hasegawa/Frog 1/450 kit of HMS Vanguard (Britains last battleship) as she might have looked after a mid life refit if she had not been scrapped in the 60s. I have two ideas (cribbed from some artwork I found on...

HMS Vanguard as Space Battleship Yamato? Now there's a thought! And I do have a Revell HMS Victory in 1/450
The Lighthouse website has created numerous Yamato inspired designs many of which take their lead from real world ships such as
Adding onto my 1/48th scale Jolly Rogers 320th BS / 90th BG themed builds (in honor of my grandfather who served in the 320th) I decided to build another aircraft that was used in the squadron. A Piper L-4 Cub known as Moby Dick Jr. .
I had already built...

A really nice build and the vintage wartime shots are great, I'm sure someone had fun coming up with that name and scheme.
As a distraction from the standard aircraft and my other interests in warships, I occasionally muck about with 28mm SF gaming figures. Rather than Games Workshop, I have been getting some figures from Wargames Atlantic's Death Fields game. Briefly this has human troops from...

Royal Tank Regiment are also black cap with red band though I think more commonly wear berets with dress uniform.
Light AA jugoslav gun made on license of HS 803 .
Also mounted on light armoured vehicle BOV-3
Model is in 3D print.
Although is 1/72 it's dimensions are as usual in our core scale.
OK so I have been building 1/700 ships and, mainly, submarines, for a few years and had picked up a few of Pit Road's aircraft and accessory sets along with some of the more unusual types such as the MTB/PT/S Boat sets, U Boat Base, LSM, LCI, LCT & LCT(R) set etc.
I hadnt...

There are some very interesting 1/700 items coming out now from some of the usual vendors and also 3D Printed kits (that would have defied imagination even in larger scales a few years ago).
Like it says, I am trying to find US Style police car light bars in 1/64 to customize HotWheel and Matchbox type toy cars. Intended as an Xmas item for a friend who is into a table top game called Gaslands....
I have found some from a US seller at a decent £4.00 but the postage...
A small deviation from a serious standard ... And almost regrettable.
Trumpeter's model with light and dark sides, rockets are snap fit, terrible connections, transporter body has few parts but very nice, fine and clean details.
The tracks are very well detailed but... one is in...

Gorgeous work. Looks more like 1/35 scale. And yes, someone should replicate this one in 1/144 ... :idea:
While waiting for the beacon models kits to turn up thought I'd have a go at one of these. Have the correction kits for the screwed up bomb bay and a second kit for a H2S or PR job. Using our local paint manufacturer 'SMS Acrylic Lacquers' on this pre-shaded with...

Beautiful!! Superbly finished!! Indeed the PRU Blue with the red is a real eye-catcher.
I have three or four of the series 3 kit in my stash. I'd be really happy if any came out nearly as well as yours.
In the Scale ModelWorld 2022 competition, there was something mind-blowing...
At 1/48 (well I think..., because it was a beautiful baby - see the photos with the visitors), a Lancaster from the Dambusters with its Upkeep bomb.
And the column of water created by the bomb is not...

The 1/32 rendition? Hell's bells. The modeller must have braced steel rigging within that spray to take the weight of this monster. :shock:
These have been shelf queens for well over a year.... Finished them as a break from the 1/144 Roden B-36B
The P-51D is Lt. John C Cowley 77FS 20thFG (My dad was John S Cowley) who shot down a Me 262 April 5 1945 but in turn was shot down by the 262's wingman. He...

Ah the 190 is the old Hasegawa kit and the P-51D is the Tamiya kit.
This was a quick(ish) one that I was able to finish up in a a day. It helped that I started this model 2-3 years ago, and had gotten to the point with completing the cockpit, assembled the model, painted the exterior Gloss Sea Blue, and then started adding the white...

The blue and white rudder reminds me of the that is a regular visitor to airshows Down Under. Reckon that your FAS example is even nicer! ;)
