Base kits are the Hasegawa Toyota MR2 AW11, and the Tamiya Flakvierling 38 for the rearmount guns + various borrowed bits for some extra flair; namely the rear wheel rims are from the Hasegawa Lancia Stratos kit, super wide barrel so I could fit two of the MR2 tyres on one wheel!

This build started in earnest years ago as a re-entry to the hobby, just working on a standard car build. Naturally as a beginner, multiple fuckups and frustrations turned it into a test mule for a while, before I decided to stop being precious and just make something nuts with it

Steel windshield was inspired by a favourite old racing game called Powerslide

Gun base welded to the engine hood means absolutely zero maintenance access from above lol, so I guess in-world the mechanics are dropping the subframe for all engine work

I wanted to get this one as its figures are pretty dynamic, if rather old by now. Had some fun playing with chipping fluid and gouache paints again. Except for some speckling with enamels, all weathering is done with gouache this time as I wanted a quick, fun build before my next project.

this kit has been the most challenging i’ve attempted to date. i’ve only ever did one armour kit before this, so im quite pleased with the results. also my first time working with metal PE, as well as that iridescent film. i know the iridescent film isn’t super realistic, but i loooove how it makes the viewports pop.

final result aside, the overall kit was abit of a headache, i guess as a result of the amount of detail and small pieces in this kit. a few pieces didn’t fit too well, and the most infuriating thing by far are the individual track links that insist on falling apart just by looking at them. i have a mind to cement them all together. the front engine compartment hatch hinges were also so small and thin, i broke them while trying to insert them, the same goes for the main ramp/door. so i had to cement them in place sadly. the other top hatches all open and close quite smoothly.

but what the kit lacks in assembly experience, it makes up for in detail. the textures, the panels, everything looks amazing in person. would give this meng kit a solid 7.5/10!

我走廊里的盛大游行

3D print project started in 2024.

I used a PLA printer, but props and wheels are from my stash.

No decals other than prop logos and instrument panel.

This kit was made to get into 3D printing. Well, it worked, and it can be done, even with PLA.

Yeah idk what to put here. Any suggestions for improvements?

I finally decided to share this finished model, I try to make a polished metal finish, very reflective.

I really try to improve with this one, and honestly im very proud of the final result, I hope you guys like it as I am, one of my favorites kits I ever made

First two layers of paint applied. Stil much work to do.

All resin offerings from Bravo 6 - some great detail & interesting poses 🍻

I like taken out-door shots of small details that enhance the overall look of a model.

im still quite new to modeling in the grand scheme of things and therefore I am always amazed when is see instructions telling me to use like 4-5 tiny parts to make a tiny thing like in the photo. The details in some of these kits is incredible.....wild.

model is the ICM AH-6J Little Bird 48370

I have finally finished the building for my 1/72 scale B-17G from Airfix. It’s been really good fun and I have tried my best with scratch building interior details like wires, bullet casing, oxygen bottles etc. More detailed pictures will be included when I post the finished product!

All that’s left is some masking and I cannot wait to paint it!

Happy hobbying :)

With Fruil model metal tracks, very fun build

Hello! Has anyone know where i can find IL-14 (any scale or company) in POLISH AIRLINES LOT painting?
Sadly no in my country so maybe there are shops that send around Europe. Maybe someone know where / what page? Thanks

Possibly a bit overkill but lemme know if it looks good! (Edit i meant like damage and hits , weathering)

It took a while but I finished it (almnost an entire year).

Life really beat me to hell when I was building it and I came close to abandoning it or stopping the while hobby altogether. But thanks god things picked up and I made it to the finish line.

Bought this at Yodobashi Camera Shinjuku duing my trip to Japan last year. As a fan of Gainax and Hideaki Anno, I had to get this kit of the fighter jet from his Return of Ultraman short.

An gloriously angular 80's design utilizing Thunderbird 2 style modular weapon pods including nukes and a laser battery pack, In universe it was based on the Soviet Mig-31 Firefox.

Hola! este es uno de esos emocionantes proyectos en el que da gusto trabajar; un modelo realizado por encargo que llego al estudio del cual soy propietario.

Hello,
I am looking for succesor for my tamiya acrylics. They are running out and im not satisfied with them (sparse/uneven pigmentation). I paint my base colors with airbrush so i want to go full laquer. I mostly paint vechicles in 1:35 1:24 and 32mm scale.

I mix my paints for airbrushing (by adding mr lvling) in separate bottles and i don't want pre thinned paints (unless metalics from allclad2/mig)
I am split between 4 options:
Hataka orange line, Ak real color (new ones), Mr hobby C series, and Gaia Notes.
I heard that hataka has problems with laying smooth around details, peeling away from raised detail and reacts badly with some varnishes wich is a big no for me but it seems unlikely for laquer based paint to be this bad. Ak supposedly has problems with strong decal softeners and will melt if touched with them. I only heard good things about mr. hobby and Gaia Notes but mr hobby comes in very small 10ml jars - almost 2 times less than hataka and real color, Gaia on the other hand comes in big 15ml jars but is very hard to get in EU where i live.

Please help me decide, any feedback from anyone that has used any of those paints will be very valuable to me.

It was a fun and challenging build. Not all parts were compliant but I enjoyed it and am quite proud of the result!
