Hello everyone! Let's see if I remember how to post in a forum. (Last time I did this was about 10 years ago?) So here's the subject in the box, the Takom SS-100. And here is the beginning of the chassis. The chassis was a little skewed so I had to put some weight on it to straighten it...

Hi every one! Glad to be here in this great effort. For this thread I'll going to build the E-100 from DML. This is going to be an out of the box build but I still have not decided how I'm going to finish it; with or without camo. So lets start the build! First the required photo with the date...

Hi everyone! Recently I ordered this model: And as you may know, it is completely empty on the inside apart from the turrets. So I decided to make an interior for it because it has those doors that you can leave open but if you don’t have nothing to show on the inside what’s the use? This...

Hi everybody. I'm looking for a copy of the instructions for the Griffon Models set L35A004; WWII German Ammo Boxes/Belts/Drums for MG34 & MG42. I bought a set some time ago and now that I open it for the first time noticed that the instructions are missing. Can somebody send me a copy thru...

(I don't know if this is the right place for this but if not feel free to move it to where it might belong.) Hi everybody. The "Quonset Hut" was a hut made of corrugated sheet metal used by the US army primarily as troop shelter during WWII. You could find it in almost every theater of...

Hi fellow modelers. It is time to start the build! And to start, the requisite date-stamped photo. A close up of the date. As always the first step is the most tedious so it's the one that should be done quickly. Here are all the wheels, sprockets and idlers cleaned and ready. Also the...

Hi everyone. This is the technique I use to apply decals and get rid of that unwanted silvering. First of all, silvering is caused when air gets trapped between the decal and the model. As you might already know the usual method is to apply a coat of gloss varnish to the model, apply the...

Hello everyone, If you are frustrated by those little bumps of plastic that the manufacturer calls tiedowns and wonder how are you going to hang your packs on them I’ll show here my method for making realistic ones for your favorite model. 1.Remove the molded one from the model. 2.Cut two...

Hello fellow modelers. In this little SBS I’ll show you how to make realistic headlights for your armored vehicles. The materials you’ll need are: Drill bits A Nutella wrapper Clear styrene A punch and die set or a leather puncher (or anything that can cut disks) Your trusty hobby knife Any...

Hi everyone, let me show you how I make a pine tree. For the trunk I use a ¼ inch wood dowel. The length is up to you but keep in mind that you need to leave about ½ inch extra to insert it on the base. The one I’m going to make here will be about 10 ½ inches long. Then I use a pencil sharpener...

Hello fellow modelers. I needed a rest from the regular modeling so I decided to embark in some scratch building just for the fun of it. And what more fun than building a tank? So taking hold of my stash of Plastruct pieces I proceeded. Here are some photos of the process and the almost...

Here's my entry for the group build. It will be an out of the box project because sometimes you have to take it easy. :P Ruben

Hi everyone! I'm back for more modeling madness here at TnT. Although I'll need some time to get used to the new place; I feel like a rookie at tank school. And is good to see that everybody is here again!! ;) Ruben
