The Specific Model Builds:

 

Make the Revell Flying Fortress Model

This is a 1/48 scale Revell model of the Flying Fortress. It is a very big model measuring in at a length of 19 inches. . Fun build (Skill Level 4) and it turns out great.

Make a German FlakPanzer

Skill level 2 build with some interesting differences than my other builds. This one has something called Zimmerit which is a clay-like coating on parts of the exterior of the vehicle. And this one came with a real metal chassis which gives the model some weight and heft. 1:48 Scale Make a German FlakPanzer

 

Make an Apache Attack Helicopter - Fun skill level 2 build with lots of armaments. It is in the 1:48 scale. Make an Apache Attach Helicopter

 

Make a Walker Bulldog Tank - Fun and easy build in 1/35 scale. This is a really nice scale to work with because it is small enough to look good but large enough to include plenty of detail. Probably my favorite scale for models. Make a Plastic Model Walker Bulldog
