Previous Builds: 1/72 Jagdpanther (Revell)



It's been a long time since I last updated, I can't believe its 2018 already.
 I figured I would post my Jagdpanther I made back in 2016.
The parts fit well and painting the pattern was fun.
I used Vallejo paints for this and Mig pigments.
I also made a diorama with some 1/72 German soldiers to go along with it.

Previous Builds 1/72 academy F-22 raptor



This was my second attempt at a F-22 raptor
I made this back in May 2016, using the lessons I learned from my first F-22, I managed to exceed my own expectations when building this one. This is also the plane in the background of this blog. 





Old and new



Weapon bay details, I added wires and cables.

1/24 Toyota Hilux surf aoshima


Hi guys, just finished this Toyota Hilux made by Aoshima. I chose to paint it in a classic Toyota metallic blue. This took a while to build to say the least. Starting in January and finished at the beginning of April. Some mishaps delayed progress, like when the clear coat reacted with the body paint. For the interior I added seat belts, and carpeted floor mats. I drilled out the exhaust pipe with an exact o knife. Masking the windows and body panels took forever, another reason this took me three months. I also added the bolts for the torque converter and front diff. See if you can spot them!
