Good Day Folks! I am wanting to build a USCG Patrol Boat, the only kit I found is the Lindberg one below. I have had such bad luck with Lindberg models. Has anyone built this kit? Is there another version of this model? http://www.amazon.com/Lindberg-Models-Coast-Guard-Patrol/dp/B000XQ2KEA/ref=sr_1_1?s=toys-and-games&ie=UTF8&qid=1361377682&sr=1-1&keywords=coast+guard Thanks in advance, -Steven

Seascapes using bathroom clear caulk
WigWagWorkshop replied to sumterIII's topic in Tools, Tips & Techniques
Great information, thanks for sharing. I also found this guy, do a search on YouTube for a channel called TerrainScapes - he did an incredible video, where he compares several different products and techniques for water effects. It's one of his older videos, but I think they are well produced. -Steven -
Total noob question about finding engines
WigWagWorkshop replied to WesR's topic in Cars, Trucks, & Motorcycles
I just picked up the 1950 3100 pickup, the engine appears to be nicely detailed for a strait 6 (I think thats what it is) Also I seen a1955 Cameo Pick-up, not sure what the motor is like on that kit, but both kits are under $20 at my LHS. -Steven -

Very Cool! I like the look of that wrecker, great job on the build. I will have to keep an eye out for that kit, I want to build a wrecker in the near future. -Steven -
Good Day Folks! Here is a Diorama I will be working on, for the fall/winter season. One of many I hope ;D - It's in the beginning stages, and I still need to finish the model itself. If you recall, this was my very first armor build. I am also posting videos of the project on YouTube, if interested, my channel is WigWagWorkshop.

Good Day Folks! I scored a great deal on this kit, and was getting "stressed" on the Bell Helicopter build, so I decided to have a crack at a semi build. As you may know, I like to build all types of kits, after all, I am a styrene addict. I still have a few finishing touches, and details I want to add. This was built OOB, but I do plan on scratch building a trailer, and extra details. Added some rust and grime Not sure I like the decal, I may remove it -Steven

Awesome, that's what I did, and it worked! For the most part, they are gone, but with decals, and weathering and washes, I am hoping it comes out. Either way, having a blast with my first aircraft build. -Steven
-
That's what happened, I am experimanting with some weathering technequies :D I will be honest, it all happened by mistake, when I was trying eliminate brush strokes.
-
Good Day Folks! Made a little more progress, I still don't have my airbrush setup yet, so I had to brush the paint on. I am hoping I will be able to buff out the brush marks, and the weathering will cover up the imperfections. I lost a couple of the small detail pieces, so I will have to make them. Saying that, why is it I can find those little sprue nubs on the floor, but not the little detail pieces. :-) -Steven

Good Day Folks! Just a minor update, I plan on working on the wings tonight, and get the seams sorted out. -Steven

Good Day Folks! I assembled the cockpit, however, not without a few flaws. Has with my first Armour build, this thus far, has been a blast, and fun learning experience, both with the build, and the research about the aircraft. -Steven

Good Day Folks! Starting another new adventure in model building, this is my first airplane build. It's a Tamiya's Mitsubishi A6M2 Zero Fighter, any tips would be greatly appreciated. -Steven

Good Day Folks! I went to the local thrift store, and found this compressor for $5 USD. I am looking for information on it, I see a little hole on the top, is this to add oil? or is this compressor oil less? Did I get a good deal? As always, thanks in advance for advice, -Steven

Very nice on their part -Steven
