What Are Your Modeling Interests?

Jester75

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.

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! 

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.

I love the Caunter scheme! What's are Tropen panzers though?

Those used in N Africa.

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.

Non military, 

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

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

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.

My Mrs calls me a Geek, but looking at that chart, i think i fit in the dork group.

I can embrace any one of those lables.

Lol

I see what you mean.....its about $90...........the revell bismarck is only $92......

Lol

Can you give me a few models that require a lot of time?

thanks

(besides ships)

Take a look at Wingnut Wings. WW1 aircraft. very detailed.

I'm something of a heretic. My fascination has always been with 1/72 scale aircraft, from the smallest to the largest. My heresy comes from the fact that many years ago I discovered an air-war game that used models on stands. I built a lot of WW2 models for the game, but my problem was that unlike most of the people I knew I still felt the need to put in a lot of hours going after the realistic finish. Today I build a lot of WW1 models with the same concept in mind. I try to make a good, realistic representation of the plane but still strong enough to withstand a fair amount of handling.

This doesn't mean I don't still build display kits. Back in 1990 I built a model of the Boeing 299, the prototype of all the B-17s to come. It has lived in the main entrance of the Hill AFB museum ever since.

I've also been thinking lately of looking into the Roden 1/32 Albatros D.II, but I've also always wanted to scratch-build a Huff-Daland B-1 in 1/72. And then there's the prototype B-52, and the B-9, and the......

Was that the game with graduated dowels and the models were on clips and wire through the tail so you could put the aircraft into all 3D positions? Man I loved that game, can't remember its name though.

I'm not sure if it's the same, but the description sounds right. Ours is called 'Mustangs & Messerschitts'. The WW1 set is called 'Triplane'.

   any ww2 aircraft ,USA ,GERMAN,JAPANES, BRITISH, all of them as long its in 1/32 or larger
