I am outright stealing photos from friends who are participating in Kevin’s Shippa da Month Challenge to show off what other people are doing. Scott Abbot is another fan of anything Civil War related – he is an amazing painter and scratch builder. I particularly love the detail he put into the decks of the […]
Kevin Smyth has been an incredible mover and shaker during the COVID crisis, working to keep everyone’s spirits up by posting pictures of his prodigious painting projects, encouraging others to keep painting with his 100 figure challenge and the “Shippa da Month Club” project.

It looks great everywhere from rusted vehicle parts to tank exhausts to any weathered metal buildings. This involves only […]
I am really pressed for time at home. Anyone with a full time job and a family with young children understands the time requirements this involves.
