THROUGH THIS WEBSITE, WE'VE BEEN ABLE TO MEET SOME AMAZING MODELERS!  WE'VE SWAPPED PHOTOS, AND I'M SURE ALL OUR READERS WOULD LIKE TO SEE THEIR WORK.

Davis Gandees enjoys the many awesome re-releases that we're seeing from Atlantis Models and he's shared some photos!
Picture
Davis isn't afraid to execute a natural metal finish on a ancient model!  Atlantis Models' B-29 was one of Revell's early aircraft kits dating back to 1954!
Picture
Davis built the 1/92 Atlantis B-24 in just 16 enjoyable hours!  He built a Revell version when he was young.  Davis sanded off the rivets and finished the model using Tamiya's Silver Leaf paint.
Picture
Atlantis Models' 1/12 Wright Cyclone engine as built by Davis Gandees!
Christian A. from Colorado Springs, CO liked our Minicraft B-52 page, and he shared some of his work!  Christian is one of our IPMS/USA Region 10 brethren; he's a member of Centennial IPMS in The Springs.
Picture
Picture
Picture
Here's the Monogram B-52 in 1/72 scale; a very big model!  Christian built this "Arc Light" version for his father.
Picture
Picture
Christian's B-52 was a big hit with his father, who served the USAF as a B-52 Radar-Navigator Officer.  His uncle, who met Christian's father during navigator training, was so impressed when he saw the B-52 model, that he wanted  a model of "his" B-57.   Christian built him this B-57 from the 1/72 Testors/Italeri kit!  The markings were custom-made and depict his unit's aircraft.  The two navigators became close friends in the service and later married sisters, creating Christian's family connection!
Picture
Picture
Christian also built this Revell B-52H in a more contemporary scheme.  It's from the 1990's era 1/144-scale kit.  The model comes with external ALCM's.  Note the Memphis Belle III nose art!
Picture
To update the late 1980's-vintage configuration, Christian extended the tail and did a gun-delete on his B-52H
Picture
Picture
Later versions of the B-52 also had some antenna bumps that are absent on the Revell B-52.  Christian added those as well.
John B from Spokane, WA is a retired USAF officer and automotive journalist.  You may recognize his name from our Monogram Air Power Page.
Picture
In front is MRC's H-13 Sioux in 1/35 scale.  At rear is Revell's H-13, also 1/35.  Both these kits came out in 1993-94.  The painting details are authentic.  John should know--he's a licensed Bell 47 pilot!
Picture
Picture
John built this Piasecki H-25 Hup-2 helicopter from the recent Atlantis release.  He added cockpit detailing and an exhaust pipe.  At rear in the photo at the right, you can see an original Helicopters For Industry pre-built factory promo (note the clear stand).  This model predates the Aurora release.
Picture
Picture
John decided to build the Atlantis Models' long awaited re-release of Snoopy and his Sopwith Camel with a more realistic scheme for the airplane.  While retaining the original kit stickers, he painted the plane with Humbrol Olive Drab straight from the rattle-can.
Picture
Picture
We've also used these pictures in our comprehensive kit review of Atlantis Models' Snoopy kit which includes Red Baron.  In the bonus features, we have photos of a flying Sopwith Pup replica (in 1/1 scale!) and this is the scheme which inspired John to build this model.
Rich Roy from Spokane, WA spent his career working with high-end exotic sports cars and racing vehicles.  In 1/1 scale, he owns two Continuation Cars (look it up!)--a Ford GT40 and Brock Coupe (Shelby Daytona)!  Rich builds model cars when he's not on the track.  He's built hundreds since he was young.
Picture
Picture
This is Trumpeter's 1/12 GT40.  Rich reports that the kit has some fit and accuracy issues--he used his own car as a reference for the needed fixes.
Picture
Picture
Picture
The 1/25 AMT Ford Transporter is a restoration of a model Rich built in his youth.  The body to the Daytona Coupe on the back is from a Lindberg kit - Rich reports that the kit wheels were about as detailed as checker pieces.  The body wasn't bad though; he embellished it a bit and put it on an AMT 289-Cobra chassis.  The Daytona was a hardtop development of the Cobra (seen in front at right).  The "T" represents "trainer," as in Shelby Driving School trainer seen in the recent movie, Ford v Ferrari.
Picture
While the Daytona name is perhaps better known when connected to Dodge or Ferrari, the Shelby Daytona was actually designed to compete with the Ferrari 250 GTO in the mid-1960's.  Only six original cars were built.  Rich's 1/25 Daytona (on the transporter) is shown with a trio of Shelby 289 Cobras.
Joel Tavera from Palm Desert, CA has been a major contributor to Culttvman's website for years, sharing photos of his amazing models there.  Joel also lent his talents to Lunar Models, which was a prominent maker of resin sci-fi kits.  He provided mold masters and research.  Joel sent me some pictures of a recent Lindberg USS Nautilus build, and I asked him if he'd send some photos for our gallery.  Check out his USS Nautilus model on our Nautilus History page.
Picture
Here's a trio of Flying Sub models from Irwin Allen's Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea.  In front is Monogram's vintage 1/60 kit.  Joel has added lighting, which backlights the figures included in the kit.  Monogram re-released this kit in the 1970's.  It was originally an Aurora model.
Picture
Joel has added a few enhancements to AMT's Interplanetary UFO--including LED lighting to simulate that box-art engine glow that we all love!
Picture
Picture
This is the Lunar Models resin War of the Worlds diorama.

It looks like this is the 2020 release of the D&H Lost in Space Cyclops diorama.  We like Dr. Smith cowering behind the Robot; these figures did not come with the original Aurora kit.  D&H adds resin figures of Judy and Dr. Smith to their release.
Picture
Was Gerry Anderson an Irwin Allen Doppelganger in Great Britain?  We love this version of the Dove from Journey to the Far Side of the Sun.  In that movie, the Dove crashes--twice!  Joel built this model from a resin kit.
Picture
Here is Joel's Seaview, another model from VTTBOS.  Polar Lights back-engineered a new mold for this kit in 2002.  This model is from that kit.  We wonder if we'll ever see this one again since Moebius released their all-new 1/350 Seaview in 2009.  It's the four-window TV version (Season 2 and later!).
Picture
Joel built Dick Tracy's Space Coupe, one of two Aurora Dick Tracy model kits from 1968.  It looks like an out-of-box effort here-- but don't ever underestimate Joel!
Picture
Yet another beloved Irwin Allen TV show is immortalized here by Joel Tavera in this Time Tunnel diorama.  I believe this is the Lunar Models resin kit.
Picture
On the kit, this is a solid window that you'd normally paint black.  Joel opened the window and scratchbuilt an interior with lighting!
Picture
Here's additional proof that Joel's modeling interests fly beyond Science Fiction/Fantasy.  This is a Lindberg 1/32 Laird Turner Meteor air racer.
DAVID GARCIA FROM HAMPTON, VA

Along with members of his fellow IPMS Tidewater chapter, David Garcia presented a memorable IPMS/USA national convention in Hampton, VA that Dick attended in 2014 (if you haven't seen our IPMS/USA page, check it out here!)

David enjoys building those old kits from a much earlier time in the hobby that can just never go away.  You know the kits; many of them were odd scales in the first place, and we barely got them together as kids in spite of copious use of glue.  They were replaced by "much better" kits in the 1980's and replaced again by an "even better" kit in the 2000's.  But some of us still love the self-torture inflicted as we build them again (using a little less glue) when much more accurate, easy-to-build kits are out there. And of course we all know what online commenters have to say about these vintage kits.

I'll let David take it from here:


"Just so you know I build verbally abused kits out of the box.  You know the kind; crude, toylike, inaccurate etc.  Those are the kits I like.  They are the early kits of our hobby and I build them out of the box.  With today's paints and tools one can make very nice models of these early kits."

"When I heard that Atlantis was releasing classic Revell kits I was really excited, especially the release of the B-24J and B-52 combo.  I've bought just about all of their releases and will continue to support them."
Picture
"Here's an example I just completed.  It's the Lindberg 1/51 Lockheed F-94C.  I found a color photo online and tried to replicate it as best I could."
Picture
Mr. Editor Bill sez:  I bought this kit a while ago since I like the F-94C.  I recoiled immediately upon opening the box and backed slowly out of the room.  Now that I've seen what David's done with it, I might dare crack the lid on that box again!  But don't get your expectations up.  Mine certainly won't be as nice as what David has committed!
Picture
"Here's another hated kit.  This one is the Heller 1/72 P-47N and is built out of the box."
Picture
"It's the Airfix 1/72 Ju88 tweaked just a bit.  The clear parts are very thick so I made a new set with my Mattel Vacuform machine and added wheels from an AMT kit."
Picture
Picture
Ed:  We love the photography here.  Note the single overhead source light perfectly duplicates a sunny day.
Picture
Picture
"Here's one of my favorite builds—it’s the Revell 1/40 Skyraider built up as a Sandy.  It is out of the box with the only addition being the white antenna blade on the spine.  I used two kits on this one. I had a started USN version from the 1960s.  The decals were not very good and finding replacements would be tough.  When I realized that I had the Vietnam version I used the wing stores from that kit (which came out in the 1970s).  I photographed the build process (which was mostly an exercise in puttying and sanding).  The paint is from AMK. Decals from the Vietnam version.  There's a great scene from Flight of the Intruder where it makes its entrance."
Ed:  Is it just me, or has Flight of the Intruder aged a little better than the original Top Gun?  If you haven't seen it, the Sandys in that movie are very cool.
In contrast to our "Hated Kit" theme for this segment, David is known to take a break with newer kits utilizing a more friendly building experience.  Here's a 1/72 Hasegawa P-47D doing a run-up in what appears to be a vintage WWII photo if you didn't know better. David enjoys photographing his models as much as he enjoys building them and we'd have to say he has exceptional talent in both areas!
