    True Heroes Dragon Wagon Conversion

    I got the OD base coat on today. I debated on Tamiya or Model Master and ended up going with the Modelmaster. The brightness should get cut down with washes and weathering. I also got started on the trailer but that should go pretty fast.

    True Heroes Dragon Wagon Conversion

    I got most of the detail work done on the cab including removing the molded on fire extinguishers, adding side view mirrors and a dash. Also got the pre-shade/primer coat done. I am going to have to order the diamond plate for the trailer online, so I went ahead with the cab painting.

    True Heroes Dragon Wagon Conversion

    A little more work this past weekend: Dremeled off the terrible molded on cable and hook and filled. I also worked up a cover to add actual shovel and ax to cover up the molded on versions. The cover is just sitting on, it will not be attached until after the painting. I also decided to use...

    I found some ST at TRU Today

    I haven't been chasing around POC stuff, but I do check out the pathetic Joe sections whenever I am in a store. I never see anything, tons of those white Destros and the occasional Beachhead, or Jungle viper. Today I stopped into TRU to check out their clearance clearance and they had 4 pegs...

    A Little Defiant Fun

    It was raining last weekend, so as a treat to my son, I broke out the Defiant. It was my holy grail of GI Joe toys and I found it on Ebay a few years ago within driving distance. It was in pretty good shape, and I have managed to find enough get it about 97% complete. I have replacement...
