Re: Evie Air Base- The Makeover

This is my favorite diorama thread ever! I like 1/200 military far more than my 1/400 commercial airliners. You might want to look up Tomytec Car Collection; I think they are the best N scale cars.

Re: 29000 with Custom GSE Display

Very cool. I wish someone made finished 1/400 people. I have those painted Eduard metal sheet ones but have been too lazy to cut them out and glue to plastic sheets.

Re: Which is the story BEHIND your collection?

I built model kits as a kid then collected gashapon 1/144 tanks as an adult. I knew there were 1/144 airplanes but they look cheap, but stumbled into 1/200 military that looked much better than the...

Re: Crossing the 2000 mark

I have only ~220 split between 1/400 and 1/200. Oddly this hobby got me into designing 1/400 vehicles and I have now designed more than I have diecast planes; takes up less space too.

Re: Cost of Developing a Mould

I would guess 50-100 hours just to make a CAD model never mind the cost of molds. 3D printing is still far away in detail to reach the smoothness of a mold.

Re: 1/400 Airport Fire station First Look!!

Re: Photo Diorama

Re: PHX vs JC 787-9 Round 2 - Glossy or not?

I would get a thin tip Sharpie and try to cover the scratch. Alcohol wipe will remove it if you mess up.

Yes, matte finish is more realistic although I still like my glossy PHX models.
