Pandemic Shopping
A couple of shoppers hunting for toilet paper during the 2020 pandemic: Pandemic Shopping.

Pandemic Shopping
The 2020 pandemic (amongst all the other existential worries) forced people to go on an almost desperate search for toilet paper… this is a slightly humorous depiction of that quest. I used the two figures on the left in a previous project. With some minor modifications, the two remaining figures on the right would be …
Convair NEV and 1/35 scale Coleopter
I added two builds from a few years ago. The 1/144 scale Convair NEV and a 1/35 scale Coleopter (mostly 3D printed).
1/35 Coleopter
I like VTOL aircraft and was inspired to build a Coleopter after seeing this image: The prop shroud/circular wing would be pretty easy to design and print on my 3D FDM printer, but I wouldn’t be able to reproduce the clear cockpit without considerable effort. I would have to print a blank for the forward …
Convair NEV
This is my build of the Moebius 1/144 Convair NEV (Nuclear Exploratory Vehicle). While it looks like the old Strombecker kit of the same, it’s not – this is a completely new mold. This is a pretty simple kit to build with thick pins and attachment points that almost make it a snap-tite kit. It’s …
Albert Robida inspired flyer, Gentleman James Jameson – Hired gun
I added two new builds, both in 1/35 scale. Albert Robida inspired flyer (Scratch built) and Master Box’s “Gentleman Jim Jameson – Hired Gun”.
1880s Albert Robida Inspired Flyer
Albert Robida was an accomplished French illustrator and writer from the late 1800s. His illustrations about technology in the 20th century were both whimsical and evocative. I decided to make a 1/35 scale flying vehicle inspired by some of his artwork. The original inspiration isn’t his – it dates from 1828 and depicts Mr. Charles …
Gentleman Jim Jameson – Hired Gun
This is my build of Master Box’s Gentleman Jim Jameson – Hired Gun. It’s the second of a three kit series Old West theme by Master Box: “Outlaw. Gunslinger” The kit has two sprues. The horse sprue (with two head/neck options) is common to all three kits. The second sprue is for the figure of …
VAI Case tractor, MOL re-entry vehicle, T-18 tank
I changed the gallery viewing software and added by build of the Thunder Models 1/35 scale VAI Case tractor, my 3D printed 1/72 scale MOL re-entry vehicle from the Hawk MOL kit and the HobbyBoss 1/35 scale T-18/MS-1 tank.
Russian T-18/MS-1 Mod. 1927 tank
I’ve always liked early Soviet tanks. The T-18/MS-1 was the first Soviet tank and was based on the Renault FT from WWI. There’s an old 1/35 scale AER/Eastern Express kit of this tank, but the thick parts and poor fit make it almost unbuildable; I ended up using it as a source of spare parts …
