Stargate Lego-style building block toys? Yup. I saw a Stargate Atlantis Wraith Dart set (of all things), at a discount store I was in yesterday (Family Dollar, for those in their market area). "Stargate toys? Now?" I thought. I wondered what else there might be, and after a quick Google, found a...

Shogunate Navy warship "Kaiten" at http://shikisha.net/sample.html Scott K.

Some unfortunate early Fourth-of-July fireworks, and in the wrong country, too. 3 Glonass satellites worth $200 million dollars were lost when a Proton rocket crashed at launch. Looks like an engine failed, sending the rocket out of control, until aerodynamic forces tore it apart. First...

Here's what my city just had to put up with for the past 10 days. Rochester stood-in for New York City, for a chase and action sequence being filmed for the latest Spider-Man movie. Stills and video clips linked. The chase shown in the second half of the first video was right in front of a...

Paper Model Studio has begun releasing parts for a 1/200 JMSDF Aegis destroyer, the "Kirishima", here; http://papermodel.jp/ Just page 1 so far, but the finished pictures look very promising. If its like past releases, there will be one or two pages a day, until its all released. Scott K.

Someone must've sneezed really hard!:rolleyes: Scott K.

I really thought I'd posted this here, as well as at PM, but I don't see it in a search. So, time for a new thread. Inspired by an article in Finescale Modeler call "To Mars: In 1956!", I set out to build my own model of the Von Braun Mars Lander depicted in the article. The original was...

Yesterday (Saturday the 13th) was our 29th wedding anniversary. Since our situation is so poor, I wasn't able to take my wife out to dinner, buy her any goodies, or even buy her a card. What I did instead, was build her a toy. She loves clowns, and mechanical toys. Canon's "(Moving) Clowns...

The Cryptosian Rocket Ship from Dan Dare. I designed this by request from Diderick A. den Bakker. This one is a modified, enlarged version of what I first came up with. The wings are of layered construction, with the finished engines slid over and into place, as shown in the last pictures of...

Its done, its done! Tekzo has released his 1/800 CVN-65 Enterprise! Here; http://myhobbycraft.blogspot.com/2012/11/uss-enterprise-cvn-65-1800.html No instructions, but many good pictures of the construction and finished product. The pages look very good, and surprisingly simple to build...

Thanks to a member on the other forum for noticing this first, another freebie from the Tokyo Solid Model Club. Two ANG F-106A models, here; http://www.ne.jp/asahi/tsmc/net/index.html Click on the sixth button down on the left side. The other models on the page are available just for the...

Mike Haggard's old FRNS Albion prototype. He totally redesigned the ship after this version, but never released it. This one hasn't been available since 2004. I see this ship as an earlier era ship, with the later design from Mike an updated ship, like the Trek TOS ships verses the TNG ones...

"Close the Iris!" Another design I've been struggling with. I once read somewhere that the Iris as shown in Stargate wouldn't work, that is, the pattern the points make on the closed side. Then I saw some models others were working on, and decided to try it myself. It does work, but it needs...

The Barnes Wallis Swallow, an SST design from 1955! Swing wings, and swinging engine pods, too. Started this one 2 nights ago, and finished most of the main design the first night. Yesterday I just added some detail and refinements, and started the first test build last night. Sure wish I hadn't...

Just a quick build I threw together as a break from the Fitzgerald. The USS Atlantis, originally an Estes flying model rocket kit. It's built "straight out of the box", from plans I believe I originally got from JimZ Rocket Plans site. Sometime I on redoing it, with proper nacelle domes and end...
