TJ's Modeling Bench
США
Добавлен 20 янв 2024
I've been a modeler since about the age of 7 (born in 1971) in various forms. Plastic models is where I started, but I've dabbled in several things (rockets, R/C airplanes, HO trains). Plastic models took a back seat to everything else for many years. R/C airplanes got too expensive and too weather dependent. But I still needed a creative outlet, and I had most of the requisite supplies/tools, so plastic came back to the forefront. I'm a USAF Veteran and my primary interest has always been airplanes. I had a forced career change when I was furloughed in 2020. Now I work as a distribution center driver for one of the large, nationally known auto parts suppliers. As a result, automobiles have taken on a new interest for me. I hope you'll join me as I build my models and maybe I can share some of my knowledge with you. But I'm no expert and I'm always learning something new myself. So please, subscribe to catch any new uploads, give it a "Like" if so inclined, comment, and share.
Weekly Update USACC #3 // Flying Wings #6
Another week of very little actual work accomplished at the modeling bench. This time of year is not one of my favorites; early sunsets, cold temps, holiday commitments, etc. It all saps my motivation a little. The flying wings are finally get gloss black base paint in preparation for the Alclad II Metal paints after receiving my new airbrush compressor. And the '68 Dart USACC build has gotten a little love as well. Trying to flesh out the door jams and getting them hinged is taking a lot of thought and looking at references, with little actual building happening. But, little by little things are coming together.

USACC Build Update #2
Просмотров 128День назад
I had to set the flying wings aside after my airbrush compressor died. That gave me an opportunity to get back to work on the 68 Dart. I'm trying some new-to-me things on this build, and hoping I can produce a show worthy product in the end. We'll see. Anyway, here's the progress so far. I have shop cards!

These kits have been a motivation killer! I knew going in that there was going to be a lot of work to do, but I don't think I mentally prepared myself for the task at hand. So progress has been slow. But hey, even slow progress is progress. But I really want to get these done so I can get back to my USACC build! tjrohyans@comcast.net

Argh! I've got some Grand Canyon size gaps on the Leading Edges! I use sheet styrene and Vallejo Plastic Putty to fill them. I had hoped to have both aircraft in primer by now, but I didn't get as much work done on them this past week as I should have. But, you can't rush these things and expect good results.

Things are starting to come together! The major components of the "wing" are assembled, and I'm getting closer to paint. But it's a slow process.

Here's photo slideshow coverage of the 2024 Atlanta Car Model Enthusiasts (ACME) Southern Nationals in Cartersville, GA. It was my first time going, and it was a great event. I finally got to meet several of the Content Creators I follow and admire. As well as getting to see some incredible models up close with my own eyes. I need to up my game if I'm ever going to be considered a serious model...

The larger the airplane you're going to model, the smaller the scale you'll be working in, typically. I usually model aircraft in 1:48 scale, but these would be massive at that scale. 1:72 scale has tiny details. Unfortunately most of the interior detail won't be visible, but that doesn't mean I'm not going to do my due diligence in painting it anyway. Sure as I don't, someone will notice.

I purchased these kits about 6 months ago and have been wanting to build them. I don't think I've built an aircraft since the start of the year. These are the predecessors to the B-2 Stealth "Spirit" Bomber. I don't normally build more than one model at a time, but for all intents and purposes, these are identical kits. Except for the propellers and vertical stabilizers. Follow along as I assem...

After finishing the diorama I decided I needed to clean up my workspace and do a little re-organizing. I also added a couple of new tools I want to share with you.

The Nations Largest Car Show! The Mississippi "Cruisin' The Coast" takes place annually in the first full week of October. Official venues are scattered across the three coastal counties and hosted by at least as many local car clubs. Since today was such a beautiful day, I decided to ride over on my motorcycle and see what I could see. cruisinthecoast.com/ tjrohyans@comcast.net
Revell 1:25 '71 Boss 351 Mustang Barn Find Diorama Final Reveal

This is the completion of my first diorama build. I call this the "Barn Find" of the 1971 Boss 351 Ford Mustang. This was quite an undertaking for me. I typically only build one model at a time, and this was several models coming together to create a narrative scene. But it was fun! I'm very pleased with the outcome. I hope you enjoyed this series.

Good evening y'all. The southeastern portion of the United States, specifically Florida, Georgia, the Carolinas, and maybe even Tennessee and Kentucky are about to face off with an enormous and dangerous hurricane. I pray all of my fellow modelers and their families in these regions remain safe and in good health, and that their properties and possessions fair well. This storm is nothing to sco...
