Crazy Snap Captain

Hi there chaps, Apologies for going AWOL. 2021 has been (as I'm sure it has been for all of you) an extremely challenging year to say the least. Unfortunately I have had some rather serious health issues that have taken me away from the bench and will probably keep me away for the foreseeable future. I hold onto some kits in the faint hope that I can someday return to the hobby, but until I overcome these health issues, I'm afraid I'm just going to be lurking on here ogling at all your fine builds. Anyway, thank you all for your concern and hopefully one day I can retur

Hi all, After a five or so year hiatus I've decided to dust off the tools and get back into the modelling scene. I'd sold off pretty much all my stash except for my 1/32 A-7E with all the AM goodies including the complete Zacto set. That may prove a step too far to start off with so I'm going to ease myself into it with a nice, relatively simple build. Having been out of the scene for quite a while I'm not really up to speed on what new kits are out there. Any suggestions on a good reboot kit would be greatly appreciated. Modern jet in 1/48 is what I usua

Timmy, This is incredible work. Just outstanding. Could you post a couple of pics with something we could use as a scale reference. I'm curious to see how small this detail is. Thanks and congrats on the amazing work so far!

Dude, This is EPIC. Outstanding achievement. Well done.

Angelos, That looks amazing mate. The weathering is spot on. Love the dented fuel tank. Bravo!

BaconRayGun, Thanks for your reply. Yeah, after doing research on the net I think this is a job for a pro. It's previously been painted with clear but not filled. Going more for looks than weight saving.

Thanks E. Yes this is 1:1 scale. So what about sanding prep? Is anything required?

Hi lads, Not really modelling related but thought I'd ask in case anyone has experience. I'm trying to get a gloss finish on a carbon fibre wing for my car and was wondering what the best paint/prep method would be. Anyone here have experience working with Carbon Fibre? Any tips highly appreciated...

Let's keep this thread on topic please chaps...Cheers...

Anyone got any updates on this? I've seen a few new CAD images floating around the webs but no release date except for vague references to the "end of 2018".

Sold items removed and prices dropped further. More discounts if you purchase multiple items. Let me know what you like. Thanks

Sold items removed, some more decals added and prices lowered.... make me an offer

Hi J, Thanks for your comments mate. I have kept a couple of kits (literally just 2) that I will still do. I was actually going to have a full fire sale and sell all my tools, paints and other stuff, but when I started cataloging everything I got sentimental and decided to hold on to them. I'm sure my mojo will return soon. maybe I just need to clean the slate and start over again. My biggest issue is time. I haven't been on the forums for over a year but since coming back on I can feel the tingle coming back...maybe...
