I wanted to build an aircraft carrier, and I wanted to build the Lexington as a personal challenge and as a good display piece. Overall, building the model of the USS Lexington CV-2 allowed me to engage with history, develop new skills, and make a cool diorama of a legendary ship. For more information about the color scheme, please check this link: https://www.shipcamouflage.com/specialtopics/BlueFlightDecks.html This model is produced by Meng, scale 1/700. The quality is good. I complimented with a trumpeter wildcats, 3D printed sailors, and sailors photoetch made by Eduard. For primer I used Vallejo Grey and Vallejo black. I used Tamiya acrylics for this model, they were: XF-1 - Black XF-2 - White XF-17 - Sea Blue XF-50 - Field Blue XF-25 - Light Sea Grey XF-63 - German Grey Acrylic in tube Other things I used are: Extra Heavy Gel for the ocean Acrylic 3mm for the base and the display box Plastic Putty Decalfix Files different grades 0.25 mm fibre optics 3mm white LED with resistor I hope you like it.

In general I love Sci-Fi, and I have been wanting to do this specific Star Wars model for a while. I feel the scene in the image is one of the best scenes for ObiWan as a warrior (personal opinion) and the Clone Wars cartoon has some of the coolest and epic images of Star Wars. The model I started with is an old Speeder Bike from ATM, that I built a long, long time ago. Back then, I didn't have access to the equipment and materials I have access today, so it was a crude output. For the figure and lightsaber: - Vallejo grey primer. - Vallejo white primer. - Tamiya clear blue. - Tamiya black. - Tamiya white. - Tamiya gun metal. - Tamiya titanium silver. - Tamiya medium grey. For the landscape: - Vallejo pale sand - Vallejo black - Tamiya black - Cardboard For the head: - Vallejo pale sand - Vallejo clear red - Vallejo red leather - Vallejo black Lights 1 Flexible LED filament

When I saw the McFarlane Space Marine Artist Proof toy I thought that it was a great chance to do something different to the models I had been doing until now. So, I bought one and too the opportunity to do my own big space marine for display the way I would love to see everyday. I added a chainsword and a head, both bought online. Plus bits and pieces I made or taken from left overs other kits. Paintings: - Vallejo grey primer. - Vallejo black primer. For the space marine - Tamiya chrome silver - Tamiya titanium silver - Tamiya clear orange - Tamiya clear green - Tamiya clear blue - Tamiya clear red - Tamiya gun metal - Tamiya black - Tamiya white For the head: - Vallejo pale sand - Vallejo clear red - Vallejo red leather - Vallejo Black Lights 2 - white LEDs 2 - blue LEDs 5 - green LEDs

The IJN Yamato was the biggest battleship ever built. On the 25th of October, 1944, it participated in the Battle of Samar. During this battles used its cannons against the allied carriers, scoring a hit at 19 miles of distance while being attacked by bombers. It was the only time it used its cannons agains an enemy vessel.

It is a snap-together model and the quality is good.

This diorama represents the attack on the HMS Coventry in 1982. It is not my objective to celebrate the conflict, but to create a diorama of what happened. I used LEDs and cotton to simulate the explosions of WW 2 bombs in a modern destroyer. The model was made by Dragon and I think it can still be found online. I used a black Vallejos Primer and then the following Tamiya paints: Tamiya Green: SF-5 Tamiya Sea Blue: XF-17 Tamiya Royal Light Grey: XF-80 Tamiya Grey: XF-53 Tamiya Clear Orange: XF-26 Tamiya Black: XF-1 Tamiya Red: XF-7 Tamiya White: XF-2 Extra Heavy Gel for the sea. The A-4 skyhawk were bought here: http://www.larsenal.com/1-700-douglas-a-4-skyhawk-x5-c2x27691555 but you can find them online. I hope you like the diorama. Thanks.

This kit corresponds to the movie version of the SDF-1. This was the first kit I made using an airbrush to paint it. I put a lot of effort besides my little knowledge on what I was doing, as it brought lots of memories of my childhood watching Robotech when it was on TV.
