    Custom tribute truck

    Just keep in mind, your printer does not print white (it leaves that open) so if you want white, you need to iether print it on white decal paper, or paint a spot of white on the truck, and use clear decals over it And be sure to get the right paper for your printer (inkjet or laser)

    Anyone got a few spare swastikas kicking around?

    It's funny, there wasn't a whole lot of focus on the US in history class back then They never mentioned 1776, or the Gettysburg adress, but they honed in quite well on your activities between 1940 and 1945 Back to the plane I'm not totally happy with it, but it's starting to look like...

    Anyone got a few spare swastikas kicking around?

    If he's still around, tell him I said thanks! In case you are familiar with operation "market garden" I was born and spend the first 20 years of my live in that corridor (In fact, when I moved to the US 20 years ago, the locals still called it that) Now, I speak a little German, and I don't...

    Anyone got a few spare swastikas kicking around?

    Found a few moments to put the second coat one I'm not happy with the overspray, but hopefully that will clear up when I try to weather it

    Anyone got a few spare swastikas kicking around?

    I was able to lay down the first coat of my top camouflage I was going to go with Grey, but for some reason I ended up grabbing "mud brown" instead I'll put some green over it in a splinter pattern and put some of the green mottling on as well (I'll draw some more in with a brush, but so far...

    Anyone got a few spare swastikas kicking around?

    funny you mention that about a decade ago, when i was doing a lot more moddeling, i actually used to make my own decals, and do some custom work for a small fee i had sheets that were made for my printer, i would just download the image i needed, scale it and print it on the paper, then after...

    Anyone got a few spare swastikas kicking around?

    that would be great, O scale is about the same as 1:48 the tail panel it would go on is a little under 1/2 by 1/2 so i think anywhere between 1/4 by 1/4 and 3/16 by 3/16 should do the trick awesome the kit is the starfix BF 109 (the box says E, but the instructions claim G-6 fact of the...

    Anyone got a few spare swastikas kicking around?

    I figured that would catch your attention I always loved the looks of the German messerschmitt 109s, and especially the paint on them With a little time on my hands I bought a couple a 1/48 kits of these that will go together in a few hours (I think it's a 28 piece kit) The decals are...

    Building a boat

    Got the bottom primed, and a make shift paint stand made for the top I'm planning on doing one of those fancy 2 tone primer jobs on the top, base primer in white, shadows in black primer and then hopefully that will give some depth to the topcoat and make the detailing easier

    Building a boat

    Ran into a little issue It appears this kit was offered as a battery powered boat at some point and there are 2 holes in the deck which must pertain to that Iether way, I had to find a way to fix it (wish I had noticed it before I put the deck on the hull, but im happy with it) On the side...

    Building a boat

    well, the real reason is, i never seen McHale's navy (i had to google what the significance of PT-73 was) but a better reason is, from what i found when i googled it, the PT-73 used in the show was a 72 foot type II vosper, while the real PT-73 was a 78 foot Higgings...neither one is the exact...
