Built this T-800 several years ago. If memory serves it is an Aoshima kit? Stands about 8".

 

[Lucius Mojo]

Excellent terminator kit

 

[Lucius Mojo]

Started a Hasegawa 1/32 FW190 to kick off the new modeling year.

 

[Lucius Mojo]

Assembled and primered the engine.Detail is pretty good for an older kit...

 

[Lucius Mojo]

Mounted up the engine and front cowling ..

Not getting in any hurry with the Panther. It will be ready for it's dark German yellow base coat in a couple of days.

 

[Lucius Mojo]

Tamiya?

 

[sanford12]

It is. Of military models most are Tamiya then Hasegawa with a sprinkling of other makers when I can't find the model I'm looking them from those 2. Automotive models not as particular.

 

[Lucius Mojo]

Yep!Tamiya makes great kits and always has!

Getting back into modeling after 35yrs. Looking for some simple good tips. Where do you guys buy tools/paint supplies. what online vendors.

Hobby shops look to be dead and hobby lobby is the best brick & mortar option.

this is my kit I just started. Found an old modelers handbook from my modeling days.

Put in the landing gear and the wing sections are out together.

Had some trouble joining the wings and fuselage.Sanding and filing were required and there are gaps at the wing roots.

The only thing that I saw was the paint brushes. I'd hit Hobby Lobby they have some nice low cost paint brushes. You could hit harbor freight for some helping hands and larger size tweezer sets are really nice for modeling. You've done it before so you got a head start. It won't take you long to pick it up.

I think I need some small trigger c clamps. My fingers have gotten fatter since I was younger.

Again harbor freight. They've got nice sizes from very small spring loaded plastic clamps that work out very well. I used them quite a bit. Haven't really looked for small trigger c clamps but I'm sure they have them

Motor built. Now onto chassis.

 

[Lucius Mojo]

Tri power intake manifold!

As usual, the 3M Automotive Spot Putty dealt with the Seams at the wing roots after wet sanding with 320 grit wet/dry sand paper.
