P-38 Lightning
This is the start of the P-38 I'm working on. It's a modified version of an ancient Revel model. The original model was created in 1965ish, and has had a few things added on it . The design isn't that great, it lack significant details, and the styrene that it was made with is a little questionable.
But that isn't stoping me. I've dealt with worse. It's not that bad, and with a little work it will look fine. I managed to paint the pilot up pretty well. You can't quite see, but he's even got pupils. (Yeah, my wife wasn't impressed either.)
I'm trying something new with this one. Bare Metal Foil. It's really thin metal foil that will give the model a real metal look to it. Because it is actually covered in metal. So, yeah. Anyway, look at this test piece.
It's metal, but it's plastic...Woah.
It should look good, assuming I don't mess it up.
Robotech Condor
This another Robotech model. I bought it on eBay, and it was started already. Whoever started it thought that painting the parts in thick blue paint was a good idea. I can see why they never finished it.
There was a missing part too. It's small but important. I was going to make a resin copy at one time, but my resin has long since gone bad. I'm going to end up scratch building the part for it. It should be easy due to it's shape. I'll include a little build up of that part.
Enterprise-A
Ok, I started working on this one for a bit a while ago and now I've stopped. There's too much detailing for me to want to deal with it. But I'm going to eventually finish this one, I promise!
I'll be using some free decals for the details, so it should speed up the process. Once I finally get back to it, that is.
Still not interested in finishing this one. Too much work for me right now. I will sooner or later though. Count on later.
Paper to Plastic
Here are some previews of my "Paper to Plastic" experiment that has been languishing for a while. I need to work on it some more, but to be honest, I've been lazy. If I get some more of my models done, I'll think about pulling this one out of mothballs at some time.
I'm going to have to do some reworking on some of the model, but I have a feeling that this one may turn out pretty good if I can just get it done.
Model stash
Here's the stash. Small by some standards. I had some more, but I sold them on eBay. I'm trying to tailor my collection for now. I don't want to get so many models that I'll never finish them. I could get all these done in a couple years if I really tried. So in about 10, I'll be done. And by then I'll have even more. Come on, do you seriously think I would be any different from any other modeler?
