SBD Dauntless

Hey everybody! Here are the finished pictures of the Dauntless I started earlier in the summer. Over all I'm pretty happy with the way this build turned out. I learned a lot and was glad to be able to build a different kind of kit. Hope you enjoy!

Painters burnout

Lately I've just been having a hard time with painting. Either parts break on me or I just don't like the finish I am getting on the model. This started a couple months ago after completing the GM Ground Type for the group build. I started working on a kit that I had already put together and just needed to paint it. I hated the way it looked and the finish was terrible on it. I ended up just throwing the kit away. Then my girl friend's

USS Lionfish

I started this model a while ago during College for Kids at the beginning of summer. I wanted to use it as a way to show kids how to build models and how a model can look if you take your time and do it right. I didn't get a chance to finish it during the actual class but I did get a chance to work on it more last week.

WIP: SBD Dauntless II

I managed to get some more work done on the Dauntless last week. I got the decals put on and the whole body top coated. The only thing I have left to do is the canopy, which involves lots of masking and time. Hopefully that will be done pretty soon so I can finish this project!

Hey Everybody!

This is just a work in progress on the Revell Dauntless kit I was working on for the College for Kids class I was teaching. I'm almost done with the paint application with just a few more pieces to paint. I have the fuselage painted and now I'm working on the ailerons and tires. I'm doing this as more of a relaxed build and enjoying it. It has been YEARS since I have made a plane kit and I really am looking forward to doing more of them!

My Goal for 2014

So I have a pretty lofty goal for next year. I have always wanted to paint a Warhammer army and I think I'm finally going to do it! After I saw the new Lizardmen releases I knew that this is the army that I wanted. So after lot of searching I decided on this list for my army...
