It's time for paint! In this post, I'll tackle Tamiya's 1/48 F4F-4 Wildcat flying with the Bulldogs of VMF-223 and the Cactus Air Force!

Even a ship's aviation detachment should get the proper detailing and weathering. Here's how I do it on the small scale!

A Pegasus-class boat is small. And at 1/700 they are even smaller. How much modeling can there possibly be?

Weathering is a process, with a set of tools, that are designed to bring out the most in a subject. Let's talk oil dot filters!

The Tiger. A subject that any armor modeler worth their weight in glue will have proudly displayed on their shelf.

The Zero is an icon of the Imperial Japanese Navy and World War II. Here is my build of Tamiya's 1/48 Mitsubishi A6M2 Zero.

Many years ago I built Tamiya's 1971 tooling of the Panzer II and now I have my hands on their 2008 new(ish)-tooling kit.

In this second installment of my project to build the modern US Navy fleet, I take on the Dragon's USS Zumwalt (DDG-1000) in 1/700.

I knew that a 1/700 scale ship was going to require some degree of tedious work, but this kit included the smallest pieces I have ever seen!

Bringing a kit to life is about more than just building, painting and weathering. One of the key ingredients is decals!

A model without glue is like a brand new toy sans batteries. It just doesn't work.

Cloudy decals, aggressive paint thinner, and how I learned to stop worrying and love the mistakes!
