A little update on Build Thirteen. I was focused on Operation Dryer Drum Glide last week so didn't get much done. That said, Mecha Heavy is built and has a light dusting of primer on it. Ready for some colour. #AgeofMecha #ScaleModels #BuildtheStash

Don’t think took many people are working on these two at the same time. #histscalemodels. Trying to get back on the #buildthestash wagon with … two I got yesterday.

A standard bearer for my W'adrhun Blooded wields a menacing banner made up of some sort of large predatory dinosaur's skull with an even larger blade sticking out the back of it, with a banner draped from said blade.

Banner for my W'adrhun Blooded was a bit frustrating to put together, but I am very much so looking forward to painting it! The other 7 Blooded are in various states of assembles, but I'm hoping today will be the day all of them get marked down as assembled!

I fell off the #BuildtheStash wagon at Rivercon today, but I can’t say no to good 1/72 plane & armor kits for $5!
The Constitution in the classic 1960 Revell 1/196 kit that will be a nostalgia build - I started one in 1976 and never finished it, and always wished I had. #HistScaleModels

Paint it black (or various shades there of). The front office of the CV-22. #scalemodels #histscalemodels #buildthestash

Finally polished the Tamiya Porsche 926C. Bit disappointed with the remainder of the overspray that I can't get off, and there is a mysterious crack in the windscreen.

Plus I've chipped the paint in a couple of places.

Ho-hum. Learning experience, I guess.

#scalemodelling #buildthestash

Next up is the Italeri 1/48 V-22 and the extra bits to convert it to a CV-22. This might be a bit painful. #scalemodels #histscalemodels #buildthestash

I finished my fourth 1/72 Corsair this week – a Tamiya F4U-1A finished as Ira Kepford’s second mount while stationed in the South Pacific with the VF-17 “Jolly Rogers”. putteringinthestudy.com/2026/03/12/1... That's another for my #buildthestash campaign. #HistScaleModels

Tamiya Brummbär painted and waiting for the weathering. The decals are by Wilder and are rub down.

Work is progressing on my MkIV and Brummbär. Both glossed, decaled, washed/filtered/stained and matt coated. Now for the weathering. 😁👍
#histscalemodels #buildthestash

Ready for gloss finish for decals. We have picked up some spectators, I see. #HistScaleModels #BuildtheStash

Next up - 1/72 F4U-1A Corsair by Tamiya. As usual, initial painting done while parts are still on the sprues. Will touch up camo when the model is assembled. #histscalemodels #buildthestash

Build Twelve is a wrap. Two 1/35 scale #DasWerk #SecondWorldWar #German #KugelPanzers. This is the second of the pair wrapped up in #Russian colours. The sole surviving KugelPanzer is in a Russian Musem after all. #BuildtheStash #ScaleModels #HistScaleModels

Build Twelve is half done. Two 1/35 scale #DasWerk #SecondWorldWar #German #KugelPanzers. The first one is in factory colours. #BuildtheStash #ScaleModels #HistScaleModels

I've failed #buildthestash 😔

But the 75% off 100€ rapid pacific special edition typhoon was too good an opportunity to pass up 🥹

Feeling like absolute shit today, but this colour is somewhat cheerful, so there's that.

Still can't believe the random SB2C-1C plane I decided to model was not only a Texarkana boy but a fellow ET ((same college) graduate. putteringinthestudy.com/2026/03/02/1... #HistScaleModels #BuildtheStash

Aware of my limitations as a modeller, but I am super happy with how she has turned out. Just how I visualised her at commencement, a rare event

Hawker Sea Fury FB.11, 801 Naval Air Service deployed to HMS Glory 1952. Another super kit by Airfix.

I’m having a good look through the stash and found this and 40 other Model Master paints. The Radome Tan is still good too! #scalemodels #buildthestash

Tamiya Brummbär painted yellow with green and dark red camouflage pattern.

Due to a dodgy sinus I haven't sprayed all week and have hand painted the Brummbär camo. It is a bit blotchy but as it will be heavily faded I am not too unhappy with the effect. Trust the process or so I'm told. 😁👍

Last post of the night. This is what's next. I'm about to tackle the 1/35 scale kits starting out with a pair of these bad boys. #BuildtheStash #ScaleModels #HistScaleModels

A series of 1/72 scale armoured vehicles parked side by side.

Here's a wrap up group shot of all the 1/72 scale kits built as part of the #BuildtheStash effort. The Cenk Collection! #ScaleModels #HistScaleModels

1/72 scale Italeri Israeli Magach 6 tank from the front.

Build Eleven is complete. Paint and decals applied, a touch of detail and that's a wrap folks. The 1/72 scale #Italeri Israeli Magach 6 tank. #BuildtheStash #ScaleModels #HistScaleModels

A 1/72 scale Italeri Magach 6 tank in three parts, turret, hull, tracks.

Build Eleven and the last of the 1/72 scale kits is mostly done the build phase. The track construction wavered between "this is fun" and "OMG why are they punishing me?". #BuildtheStash #ScaleModels #HistScaleModels

Part of an Eevee's tail, now sanded down, with the seam line having disappeared in several areas.

First pass on sanding down the sprue goo on the Eevee. I'm definitely not going to complain about how effective it was on some areas, although a second pass of sprue goo is definitely going to be necessary.

The feeling you want to relax at second-hand 1978 Hasegawa/Hales F9F-2 Panther kit, because of wife-ordered #buildthestash challenge and you find out you ordered 3D cockpit decals for F9F-8 Cougar, and yet only because it doesn't fit. Did something like that ever happen to you? #histscalemodels

Box art for a 1/72 scale Italeri Magach 6 tank scale model kit.

Because you're all sitting on the edge of your seats waiting to see what's next may I present to you the last of the 1/72 scale kits waiting to be built. Another #Italeri, the 1/72 scale #Magach 6 tank. #BuildtheStash #ScaleModels #HistScaleModels

A pair of 1/72 scale Italeri Russian JS-2 Stalin Heavy Tanks

Build Ten is in the bag. Here we have our two 1/72 scale #Italeri Russian JS-2 Stalin Heavy Tanks. Paint and decals applied, a little bit of detail added. Pretty good kit. #BuildtheStash #ScaleModels #HistScaleModels

A rather large runner of parts for the Big Eevee kit, with a head from the regular Eevee kit looking incredibly small by comparison

While a few more bits dry on the little Eevee (and sprue goo to fully melt together), I decided to break out the Big Eevee kit, to do a relaxing, just have fun build...

Regular sized Eevee kit head for size comparison.

More progress on the #TIETwins projects. Fighter has had pin washes added and some panel lines highlighted with a very sharp graphite pencil. I'm on the fence if this has turned out too dark. Clear hatch and windshield remains for masking only. #BuildTheStash #ScaleModelBS
