SPA Modeler

Hi Rob, Thanks. I have been curious about building an Eagle. Ditto the shuttle from “Outland.” I believe someone bravely interpreted and kitted that subject (Fantastic Plastic?) but the cost was high. Ditto the Lunar Industries vehicles from “Moon” by Scott Spicer. What other subjects have you built...

Thanks so much, Tom!!

Great answers, Rob. Those were the subjects, for sure. I also thought you might have heavily participated in a Hobby Talk thread about the Moonbus from 2001, but I am not too sure about my facts from a decade ago. I don’t think of SPAM as planes.

Lyle, Mike and Carlos! Thank you all, sincerely. I have missed being amongst you on the forum.

Like you I take building model kits seriously and par...

Since paint will be here next week, I assembled the nacelles then I spent hours sanding the seams as one tends to do with these kits. A lovely form of meditation, really. I stopped at 2,000 fine then polished the seams with cloth. I built this kit four times now so I know that the end seams will usu...

Thanks, Duke!

Another 33” E reference:



I ordered IJN 35 Grey by Mr. Color for most of the project and RLM 76 for the leading edge of the dorsal,

Test post. I wanted to see how the site was performing. It’s still a bit slow and glitchy. https://i.postimg.cc/XvtjRgg5/IMG-8965.jpg I read a thread that the forum was running extremely slow and it still seems to be. Also, what is happening with the error message about a resource limit? Now I’m try...
