Do you paint them?


I do. I use to air brush them but it feels like I blow through them too quickly when doing it that way. I went back to brush painting years ago. I use Tamiya Acrylic paint because it’s easy to thin with just water. That particular model I posted is a very old Monogram kit. I first built this kit like this years ago. Recently I found the same kit on EBay and this is it in the picture.

As for getting your paint to come out right, the secret is thin even coats. It’s takes time and patience but it pays off in the end. Here is the last kit I finished this past weekend. It’s an Italian SM.79 torpedo bomber.



I also like to build armored vehicles. Here’s some of my recent work.

Wow

What a loser

Get a load of this guy with his clear talent for recreating scale models of neat war machines. Pfft. Nerd. I mean you've obviously got a great eye for both art and history, LOSER! Honestly, I'd probably buy those if you sold them dweeb!

you should be REAL proud of what you did there, "Mr. Talented"

Wow Darth these are really good. Ever thought about getting in touch with the WW2 museum to see if they’re interested in any of your stuff?
