GAF Lincoln in 1/32
This could also come under the heading ” What I did with 2 HK kits and a bunch of 3D bits”. Many years ago a bloke named Fred Harris, IPMS doyen and my modelling mentor, showed me this scratch built model he was working on using fibreglass and aluminium – a 1/32 Avro (…
If I said Revell did a 1/32 Beaufort would you believe me ?
Of course not – Revell did the Beaufighter in the larger scale. But it’s a very helpful kit when one wants to construct a largescale Beaufort and doesn’t want to use the currently available vac-form kit that politeness prevents me from making further comment upon. I wanted to take the lessons learnt from the 1/72…
CAC XP-65 Irabinna – 1950’s Australian flight of fancy.
In the 1950’s the Commonwealth Aircraft Corporation proposed many designs including this one, the XP-65 Warrior, which was to be powered by a Rolls Royce RA24R Avon engine and possibly armed with cannons and air to air missiles.

Lancaster Gallery 1/48 & 1/32
No words, just pics.

Here’s a little photo essay of something I built a while ago. It was rendered up using Rhino, Sketchup & 3D builder, then printed as various parts in ABS and constructed as a model. The canopy was vacformed from a scratchbuilt master and.. well you know the rest. This was only intended as a “proof…
1/32 CAC Winjeel
A couple of years ago I decided to build a large scale Winjeel. Plans and reference material was sourced and the beginnings of the model took the form of a digital rendering. From these files a series of parts were printed in ABS to produce the building blocks to make the masters. …
1/32 RAAF F5E & a Mexican F5F. A Fictitious Thylacine & a Taco Tiger.
A year or so ago I built a twin seater F-5 using two kits that came from the estate of the late Eric Sujecki. This saw competition here and interstate bringing home a couple of trophies, but it was built as an homage to Eric using Mexican markings I found in the kit and handpainting…
Painting colours for modern Australian AFVs
Here’s Uncle Les’s take on modern Aussie AFV colours for scale wargaming purposes. I was asked about the colours I use on the finished vehicles. They are painted in enamel paints with an expectation for some heavy usage as they are usually used as wargaming items – especially the ones that are with…
CAC CA-31 redux
Here’s something we did a little while ago.
