Artist Steve Blanes returns with this great diorama!

I call this Diorama “The end of the road”
The Tomahawk and VF-1 are 1/144 scale, I used 1/160 Scale men. I’m happy with the result still. I had a left over Super VF-1S that was damaged a few years back. With pieces missing and parts snapped I had a Idea for a Diorama. A Vf-1 Super Forced to enter the atmosphere. The pilot chose to risk not ejecting the SUPER pack as war parts were few and far between. He happened upon an old highway where a Tomahawk and a Phalanx were getting supplied. The Tomahawk and Vf-1 have met up here, both suffering battle damage and overuse. Still…the battle rages on somewhere…

Many of us have attempted to get results that look authentic of sub zero weather. Steve McCarron created Precision Snow and Ice to do just that! Their works are truly magnificent and I would advise anyone wishing to learn about applying sub zero weathering to their modeling to visit the Precision Snow and Ice site and click on their TUTORIALS. Fantastic!! We are pleased to be able to show their works here.

Check out this brilliant weathering on this 80 MM long Taxi!!

Below is some raw footage that will be used in their next film….

…and how about this most excellent wire fencing winter effect?!!!

Is it real, full sized? Or Miniature? It is Amazing!!

Stephen Hoyle returns with this great build of the 1:35 Gunhed! It has been a while since we have shown some of Stephen’s works! This is a good one to return with!

I have been working on a new kit since Christmas…a 1/35 scale “GUNHED” Unit 507 from Kotobukiya! It’s from the 1989 live action Manga film Gunhed. This is an amazing kit and a dream to build! I have been working with resin and vinyl kits for so long that I had forgotten what is was like to make a plastic kit! Below is a photo of me for scale as this is quite a big model when finished!

Kind Regards, Steve Hoyle
