A-7E Corsair II 1:48 Scale (Hobby Boss)
The SLUF is all its glory. This is first Hobby Boss I've done and I liked it. The model was on expensive side but worth it. Love the Rattlesnake decals that came with this kit. Still haven't decided if I'm going to add a payload to the wings.

1963 Corvette (HPI Body on a OFNA JL10E)
The wheelbase of the OFNA is a little long (260mm vs 257mm). The 200mm HPI body fits it really well. The chrome window stickers from the kit really make this model pop. This car is my sons favorite one to drive.
Audi R8 LMS 24H Nurburgring (Tamiya TT01)
This was one of the more complicated paint scheme for a lexan body I have attempted, I use a liquid masking to mark off the three different colors areas. The Tamiya stickers also covered most of the paint transitions. I used a hair dryer and soapy water to get the stickers just right. Highly recommend that method. Found it on Youtube.
Gundam Heavyarms Ver EW 1/100 Master Grade
This was my first Master Grade and I loved it. My 10 year old and I put it together in an afternoon. He said it had too many missiles, I told him you can never have too many missiles in Anime. Posing the model with the giant Gatling gun was near impossible.

Mitsubushi Evo (HPI body on a TT-01 Chassis)
Major Victoria Haley (War Machine - Privateer Press)
This was the first War Machine miniature I painted. I think the crystal
on the staff is the wrong color but I felt like there needed to be some
red on the mini. I used some light ink washes on the cloak then added
some highlights and extra shadows with paint. This was done with a
combination of Reaper and Citadel paints.
F-18 Super Hornet (Revell 1:48 Scale)
I attempted Pre-Shading with the Airbrush on this model and the
results were mixed. Very little of the shading made it through the dark
grey. The fit on this model was not great but it still turned out
pretty good. This is first model photographed with my new camera, a
Pentax K-3. The top picture was taken with a vintage Pentax-A 28mm
lens.

1973 Bronco on SCX10 (Proline body on an Axial chassis)
There
are two different 1973 Box Bronco bodies from Proline, this is the
12.3" WB one. I used the the Tamiya Copper (PS-14) for lexan paint.
The fender flairs are from the Axial Dingo kit. I left the stock Honcho
front bumper on and removed the stock body sliders.
