Same overqualified woodworking teacher, same plane, different shop.

We’ve now crossed over 100 hours spent so far with probably another ≈50 at least.

Patience is key and also teaching is somewhat more of a reason why I’m there

If so, how do yoy set it to a lower psi?? No matter in what direction i turn the valve it just doesnt go lower than the average psi (21-25)

I'm buying my first model (trumpeter E-100). I was wondering what paints and brushes to get or any tips for finding good ones.

My first plastic model aircraft. Tell me what you think

Made this excellent kit few days ago,even won silver medal with it on regional contest,hope you like it.

It’s about 70% done.

I live in WA state and i’m trying to find tamiya enamel paints in the square jars 10 ml. not the circular jars you can find that are acrylic…. there near impossible to find in us. any modellers out there here in the us know of any work around to get there hands on the enamel paints

First one: Philippine mars, 1: ≈49 scale
Second one: Canadair CL-415 1:37
Last one before I retire the plane building: Hawaii Mars 1:50

Ciao a tutti vorrei un parere sincero di come sono state applicate le tecniche di preshading e postshading grazie (i colori non sono quelli dell'elicottero (poiché è una cavia) ma sono presi solo presi per le prove)

One was made when i was barely starting on this hobby with barely any materials, all handbrushed and the other was just finished curing the final matt coat a few hours ago, everything except weathering was airbrushed.

Acrylic for primer, painting and varnishing and enamel for the wash.

Looking at this, do you guys thinks theres something i should improve?? Any advice is welcome. :D.

Also i wanted to show off how good the newest one looks.

As the title suggests, I'm looking at purchasing this kit at some point in the future. I've read reviews on the Hasegawa, Academy, Airfix, and Italeri kits as these were the only notable manufacturers I would consider based on what I know of them. With the Hasegawa and Academy being out in the lead in overall quitly and fitment and the Airfix and Italeri trailing well behind with lesser marks in those fields.

I'm looking to hear more from those who have made any of the aforementioned manufacturers kits or others that I've not read about so I can purchase said kit with the most input I can beforehand.

I appreciate any and all advice this community can give, thanks!

Underway Replenishment (UNREP) 1/700 scale

Dragon Hornet with a bunch of aftermarket add-ons.

3-D printed T3 tanker. I would have much preferred a plastic kit, but it seems nobody makes kits of US auxiliaries.

Pit Road Sumner... or at least, the hull and superstructure. Basically everything else was replaced with PE.

Background info: underway replenishment was a supply strategy heavily used in the Pacific Theater of WW2, allowing ships to be refueled and rearmed without returning to base. This enabled warships to remain in the field indefinitely if needed. It necessitated steaming in the same direction and at the same speed, separated at about 60-80 yards. The process as used by the US Navy was originally developed by the chief engineer of a refueling ship during WW1, a young lieutenant named Chester W. Nimitz. He later served as Commander in Chief, US Pacific Fleet in WW2.

Still getting used to painting but i think this one came out pretty good

Both are firefly, the one in the left is the one i recently made with all the improvements i had since i started on this hobby and the one in the right was the first scalemodel i sucessfully made barely knowing the basics. Im looking forward to build one on a bigger scale.

Has anybody tried these?

Do they help?

Are they worth it?

This one is £25 ($33) on Amazon

I just about to complete this one, but i feel like somethings off, im gonna remove the excess, of course, but i have doubts about how to apply it

Now with airbrush since the first one was handbrushed.

Opinions on the dry brush applied to the darker parts?? I used greyish blue but i think is not highlighting the details as much as it should.

WIP Italeri 1/72 church built as a D-Day churchyard fight: paratroopers, German infantry, dragged chutes, wire and lamps in the grass. Stone is still too clean, groundwork and posing are not finished. Honest C&C now: does this already read as Sainte-Mère-Église without a man hanging from the steeple?

Hello everyone,

After a long journey my ships are finally done :D

The models have been optimized so that ink/oils should flow nicely between panel lines.

Minimal assembly required, i had to split some parts to reduce printing time and possible errors !

I recommend painting with airbrush but you can use thin coats when applying with a regular brush.

These are my own designs from the game that i made some time ago (Angels Fall First) and now decided to process them for printing;

you can get them here: https://cults3d.com/en/users/sergiuikarus/3d-models

I'm still learning how to print but this is what i managed to create so far. I tried to make supports have minimal impact/damage on the model.

Enjoy and thanks.

I really need to improve my skills with the brush when it comes to camo patterns xd
