After inspiration from some piece of art I randomly found while searching for something else, this "what-if" scheme on this @officialairfix 1/48 P-40B is almost finished. #airfix #p40warhawk #48scale #scalemodel #aircraftmodel

Finally making some progress on the SNW Comm. Need to sand the inside of the back shell slightly for the lid sweep, polish the midplates, and make a sticker cover for the magnet and it should be finished, ready for its owner for communication! #startrek #startrekprop #strangenewworlds #startreksnw

Someone finally opened up a window and God's Fart was finally dispersed outside. Happy Birthday Lindsay! May you be pegged in the eternal afterlife by all cylindrical objects like you did to this country for so many years.

When my current multiple aircraft projects are finished, I made a promise to do this @officialairfix 1/48 Bristol Bulldog Mk.II to someone who I am most fortunate that they tolerate my planes, props, and ships, so I'd best keep that promise #airfix #bristolbulldog #48scale #scalemodel #aircraftmodel

Nearly finished with this TMP Phaser. I need to adjust some of the brightnesses and add the covers to the LEDs. #startrek #startrekprop #startrekphaser #starfleet #startrekthemotionpicture

Wrapping up a Star Trek Generations Communicator! I'll get some photo booth pics and a video later this week, but wanted to give the camera another test. #startrek #startrekprop #starfleet #startrekgenerations #propreplica

And one more that almost crossed the finish line, the @atlantiskits Convair 990 Coronado, finished in the "house colors" livery. A really fantastic kit, especially for being originally tooled in 1961. #atlantismodels #convair990 #convair #airlinermodels #scalemodeling

Unfortunately I did not reach all my target goals with stuff this week, all of the electronics I had been working with fought me in one way or another on various props. I did make progress, but there came a point where I had to set them aside and work on other items.

Making a little progress. #startrek #startrekprop #starfleet #startrektng #propreplica

A fun kinda quick pallet cleanser has been this Academy 1/144 B-52D. I always love the test/trainer schemes so this one included with the kit was an easy pick. A couple of areas to touch up and I have to finish getting the masking out of the gear wells, but it's almost ready for decals!

Hopefully the sign of some continued successes and completions this week, finished a Disco Admiral Senna Tal badge in shiny metallic form, as opposed to my previous one in the traditional combadge gold and silver paint. #startrek #startrekprop #startrekdiscovery #starfleet #combadge

Gotta get the new guys on the desk at work. #scalemodel #aircraftmodel #f86 #jetprovost #airfix

Busy weekend, but I managed to wrap up one of those "weekend projects" I started 7 or 8 weekends ago. This is the excellent 1/72 @officialairfix Hunting Percival Jet Provost T.4 kit in Royal Air Force College 1962 paint scheme. The kit is fantastic, nothing to note other than it was a good time.

Hey I finally finished my "TWA Saber Jet". This is based on a Canadair Mk 5 Saber that was owned by TWA's Senior Vice President of Operations in the late 70's and early 80's. I didn't know this existed until I saw Draw Decals released this as a set and purchased it immediately.

I made some decent project progress this weekend. Almost completed several things, but they require time for finesse which I ran out of. Hopefully this week I'll have a few things to show off! #startrek #scalemodeling #scalemodel #startrekphaser #Tricorder

Got a little work in on the Academy 1/144 P-8A Poseidon. A fantastic kit for sure. #academymodels #p8aposeidon #scalemodeling #144scale #airplanemodels

Now unfortunately, for all my other hobbies and activities, I have gotten into #birding and I had to combine Model Making, and Birding together to print out this excellent file for someone I found on Bambu Labs of the greatest bird, really the greatest life form ever created, the American Woodcock.

Just finished up this DS9 PADD. Feels great to finish at least. This one can be seen in DS9 "Sanctuary" in the first scene in Sisko's office. #startrek #startrekprop #padd #starfleet #propreplica

Picked up a Nemesis Tricorder recently, I'm excited to crack into this! These are usually a pretty fun build. #Tricorder #starfleet #startrektng #startrek #propreplica

I am definitely making slow slow progress on this TMP Phaser. Definitely slow, but it's better than it used to be before I did the things that thinged it to where it is now. #startrek #startrekprop #startrekthemotionpicture #startrekphaser #propreplica

Sorry I haven't had much work time this last month. I am pecking at things when I have the chance, working on an SNW Comm along with a few other items and backlog items at the moment.

Unfortunately haven't had much modeling or proping time this week, even had to go in to work for a bit today, but when I returned I wanted to get back to last week's low effort/low risk project, this @officialairfix 1/72 Bf109E-4.

After getting all those Tricorders out of here, I wanted to crack into a low effort low risk item, and after being propagandized by watching someone's YouTube video build on a Bf109E model, I cracked into this @officialairfix 1/72 kit.

And finally the group all together. I'm glad they are finished. I think will miss that Mk VII Medical the most, I that was one of the best examples of that type I ever made. #startrek #startrekprop #startrektng #Tricorder #starfleet

Finishing up a Hero Nemesis Mk XI Tricorder! #startrek #startrekprop #startreknemesis #Tricorder #starfleet

Wrapping up a Hero Season 7 Voyager Mk X Medical Tricorder with hand scanner! #startrek #startrekprop #startrekvoyager #Tricorder #starfleet

Finally completing a Hero TNG Mk VII Medical Tricorder with Hypospray. #startrek #startrekprop #startrektng #Tricorder #starfleet

Finishing up a Hero TNG Mk VI Season 3 Science/Medical Tricorder with Hypospray. #startrek #startrekprop #startrektng #Tricorder #starfleet

Wrapping up a Hero TNG Season 1 and 3 Mk VI Science/Medical Tricorder. The client requested both versions of the removable medical attachment. #startrek #startrekprop #startrektng #Tricorder #starfleet

Finally finished this "Long Grip Larry" aka DS9 S4 (I think) and on Hypo with the grip that goes all the way to the bottom. #startrek #startrekprop #hypospray #starfleet #startrekds9

Some final pics of the Matchbox 1/72 Vickers Wellesley. There are a few things I could have done better, but overall I'm fairly happy with it. A great little vintage kit!! #matchboxmodels #vickerswellesley #72scale #aircraftmodel #scalemodeling

And finally wrapping all these guys up! I'll take some nice photo booth pictures tomorrow. #startrek #startrekprop #Tricorder #startrekvoyager #startrektng

I think I can call the Matchbox 1/72 Vickers Wellesley Mk.I complete! I just decided to push through it this afternoon. I'll take some better photo booth pics tomorrow.

Well, wish me luck on these nearly 50 year old Matchbox decals. This first one seemed to go on pretty well. Following the advice from a YouTube video where someone built this same kit, I've made sure to pin down the decals when wetting them to avoid cracking.

Woo! Managed to finish the electronics and panel installation! Now a few scanner and hypospray things to take care of and this group will be complete and ready to go!

Almost near the finish line, but ran out of time tonight unfortunately. Hopefully I can get these finished up tomorrow or this weekend!! #startrek #startrekprop #propreplica #Tricorder #startrektng

Hmmmmm, well it came out a little jagged. Not sure what to do. Like I'm fine with the shapes, its just the edges are more jagged than I would like, so I don't know if I should redo it or just go with it. #matchboxmodels #vickerswellesley #72scale #aircraftmodel #scalemodeling

Got the RAF Earth down on the 1/72 Matchbox Vickers Wellesley along with a little fading. Letting that cure, then on to masking. I think I will use Liquid Mask, but I might also use @akinteractive.official Masking Putty for the camp pattern. #matchboxmodels #vickerswellesley #72scale #aircraftmodel

Cracked into all variety of projects today, one of them being the 1/48 @officialairfix P-40 from the previous post. Got the cockpit painted and together, although I should have gotten rid of of those ejector pin marks and

It was a day of Airplanes. We got to @wingsmuseum Exploration of Flight at Centennial Airport just in time to miss most of the stuff, but there were still a few cool characters getting ready to head out.

A cool antique store find tonight! #airplanemodels #hobbycraftmodels #f7ucutlass #48scale #scalemodel

Made a Senna Tak badge 3d file a while ago, finally got around to printing one out. This one I just did in classic Combadge colors, but I'll do a more appropriate chromy one as well. #startrek #startrekprop #startrekdiscovery #combadge #3dprint

Just finished up some custom combadges for someone. #startrek #startrekprop #prop #propreplica #combadge

Made some good progress on the Vickers Wellesley!

Well, I missed it by two minutes in my timezone, so here's my low effort Happy First Contact Day post. #startrek #firstcontactday #startrekfirstcontact #zephramcochrane #april52063

Almost finished with this Nemesis Mk XI Tricorder, still a few details and things to finish off. #startrek #startrekprop #prop #propreplica #Tricorder

Fortunately it was a small haul this model show. I waited specifically a while before buying anything of my selects as maybe they would be purchased so I wouldn't have to. But, I did get some fun stuff right at the end. I've really wanted a Vickers Wellesley after seeing a fantastic build on YouTube

Well that was a fantastic show! Made some cool new friends and got to see my classic model show friends too! Bought, fortunately, only a few things, I'll post those later.

Got my stuff in the show! #commiesfest2026 I think I'll skip the live stream this year. It will be well covered by a lot of folks! There are SO MANY AMAZING models here. I'll post some of my favorites later in the day! #modelshow #commiesfest #airplanemodels #starshipmodel

Well, unfortunately after all that, it turned into a ship with many model show flaws. But I wasted Thursday and Friday working on it, so I had better have finished something for that time that could have been better spent on many other things. Oh well.
