Love the research on the planes

 

 

 

 

 

I enjoy the nerdy aspect of modeling as well 

 

 

Who you calling Nerds.

Love the research on the planes

 

 

Mostly military aircraft, 1/48 or 1/72 if 1/48 is not available or crazy big. WWII or later.

Sci-fi ships, Star Trek, Star Wars, BSG original, Babylon 5

fantasy and sci-fi miniatures, as the mood takes me.

The occasional car or other subject.

Never got into AFVs (except as targets ;-))

Love the research on the planes, and the freedom to imagine the figs give.

i like battleships, because they r hard to build and take up time

currently thinking of buying bismarck 1/350 revell..........

I do US WWII and pre-war Aircraft and anything USMC for the most part only . Therein is plenty of subjects to keep me busy.

Although I do like many German subjects, I would hafta buy a whole new set of paint colors for them and can't do that right now.

Anything ww 2 to korea,  modren military amv, feguires.

Those used in N Africa.

I build mainly aircraft (planes & helos) in 1/48th scale, but I'm moving more towards 1/32nd, now that my eyes are getting a little older, and small things aren't as easy to see. I also dabble in tanks (1/48th & 1/35th) plus other armor, motorcycles, cars, and a ship or two in the past. Aircraft interest is just about anything Marine regardless of era, but branch of service and nationality aren't a limiting factor. If it piques my interest, I'll build it. I have yet to try figures/busts or sci-fi.

I've always been partial to WWII US aeroplanes in 1/48. Now that I've passed 50, I find myself more interested in 1/32. It would seem the manufacturers have realized the customer base is aging because they have ramped up their 1/32 offerings.

I've recently been buying motorcycles , both for the bigger scale (1/12 to 1/8), as well as to get away from the "war machine" genre.

 

AFV's with "out of the ordinary" paint schemes. Tropen panzers, British Caunter and desert camo, M4's in the Pacific. 

Anything USMC, any era.

Lol, I know what you mean. 

 

My wife keeps bugging me to build her the 1/32 Revell lunar lander and my response is, "Don't wanna!"  ;-) 

I suppose I'll have to bite the bullet and build it sooner or later but I'm gonna put Martians on the moon base!

Doesn't really matter what era its from as long as the vehicle is attractive to my eye. Any nationality really.

 

That's true for me, but generally my tastes correspond to certain nationalities and time periods.

Excellent topic and even more interesting reading about everyones passions when it comes to the hobby. For myself, I guess it's really all over the board:

• AFV's: Always 1/35th. Doesn't really matter what era its from as long as the vehicle is attractive to my eye. Any nationality really.
• Aircraft: Just about any and all. I don't really do civil aircraft though. Mostly all in 48th with a few forays into 32nd or 72nd but not many. Any era or nationality.
• Ships: Pretty much wide open here. Have stuff from 700th scale up to 72nd. Would love to give sailing ships a try at some point but fear I could never do one the justice that I would like.

What I haven't built in forever are vehicles and space stuff. It's not that I don't like them they just don't really pique my interests. Used to build NASCAR kits but I don't think they make them anymore. If I were to build a car, I think it would most likely be a NASCAR vehicle. Seems there is a lot of detail that could be added with the roll cages, engines, suspension and such. 

At some point I must force myself to learn how to paint 35th scale figures and try my hand an dios/vignettes.

I actually agree with you. Real Space has lost its excitement. The days of Mercury, Gemini, and Apollo were some very exciting times. You would have to have been there to know what I mean.

Today its pretty much "Not" Real Space because there isn't  a space program of any significance going on.

 

 

 

 

Man you'd think that fact would make it all that much more of a sought after historical interest.

I started back into this hobby full swing around 4 years ago building WWII aircraft. I was having a total blast and built 5 aircraft in three years when all of a sudden I decided to take on  an automotive restoration project on a 30 year old Monogram 1970 Challenger T/A I had in my display. It didn't start out a total restoration as I was only gonna use the one month window I had before the next aircraft build to "touch it up a little". Whatever! The "touch up" turned into a full blown restoration that took me over 4 months to complete. I had such a good time with that one that I decided to do another one. Two restorations and one full build later I'm now having a difficult time switching back to aircraft. Maybe one day I'll get another aircraft back on the bench...........

Anything form WWII. I do have a soft spot for the aircraft, but armor is nice also. I also found I like to put togethr figures from the erra.

I also like to tackle the old ships on occasion. I built the Cutty Sark when I was in high school and caught the bug.

I really dont build cars, hotrods and such, it just never interested me.

I'm all about aircraft. A 50/50 mix between planes and heli's. I'm a Vietnam war buff so a lot of my kits may consist of vehicles of that era, however I like ww2 aircraft as well. Since living in Hawaii as a kid I took a liking to Gunpla's as well and will build one occasionally. They are sci fi robots from a popular anime which also has a anime based on building the plastic models!

 

About Gunpla kits, I also really like mecha! Have you heard of Industria Mechanika before? https://industriamechanika.com/shop/ Again though, it's one of those things I haven't got around to buying.

Anything scifi/horror. spaceships, figures, vehicles. Especially 50's era. Real space. Especially the "space race" era. TV/movie cars. Got into this a bit late and I'm really paying the price in a few cases. Also cars I owed or wanted to own. Mainly from 1950ish to 1970ish. I also own all the major WW2 bombers. Haven't built any except a B-24 in honor of my uncle Not at all into armor. Whats strange is when I was a kid I was big into planes and armor. Not at all into cars or figures. Just a little into space and scifi. Pretty much the opposite of now!
