Agape forum member Steve Budd’s 1/32 Wingnut Wings Fokker E.III (Late) is in this month’s edition of Airfix Model World magazine. Steve sent along these photos as a preview. You can grab  copy of Airfix Model World online, at your favorite bookstore or hobby shop, or on your tablet.  This was my very first Wingnut kit. I took some liberties with

I have to admit the fact that I am a big fan of Airfix. The iconic British model maker has always been a favorite of mine, and my enjoyment of their kits only continues to grow. As they release new kits each year, I am continually impressed by the quality and value of their offerings. A few years ago, Airfix

Our very own Steve Budd (Dances with Wolves on the Agape Models forums) has had an article published in the latest edition of Airfix Model World. I have a subscription to AMW (and quite enjoy it!), so I’m looking forward to receiving this latest edition. Steve joins another Agape member, Eric Larson, as a contributor to AMW. Eric has had

I love what Hornby has done with Airfix….. First was the release of the 1/48 Spitfire Mk. I in 2007, then the Club Kit 1/48 Spitfire Mk. XVIe bubble top in 2008. This year, 2009 brought new toolings of the 1/72nd Mk. IXc and a Mk. XIX. Apparently, all that was a warm-up…. The 2010 catalog includes…. – A new

In early May, I’d posted a build report for Accurate Miniatures’ P-51C “Tuskeegee Airman” kit. As part of the build report, I’d talked about getting to know Tom Myers, who had been the art director for Accurate until he passed away in December. I’d mentioned that it was in Atlanta last year- June in fact- that we’d both met artist

Larry Thompson at Pegasus Hobbies sent this information to me, regarding upcoming releases: We are planning on doing the P40, the Flying Tiger version (early). At the moment we have the Zero coming out on next shipment we hope.  2 or 3 months. Then the Bf-109E or FW-190A.   The Bf has not started tooling,  but the FW has been a

When new kit manufacturers make their entrance into the market it’s usually a side-note in modeling sites and publications, and then a wait-and-see time afterwards to find out how promising they will turn out to be. Sort of a slow burn that may or may not turn into a big explosion. Wingnut Wings must’ve taken note, and decided to take

Scott Girvan is back with his X-Wing build. This week, he continues to battle toilet paper holder parts, warped engines, and tackling deep philospohical issues such as football shaped X-Wing engines! Basically, all is normal with the Scale Model Addict. 😀 So take a look at this week’s episode. And check back later in the week, Scott will give us

Scott Girvan goes where no man has gone before…. OK, that’s not entirely true. He heads to the bathroom to get get supplies for his X-Wing build. Now that got your attention, didn’t it? 😉 What should really get your attention is Scott’s heart. All of this fun has a serious purpose. Scott is glorifying God with his work, raising

Scott Girvan has a new video out for ScaleModelAddict.com, “A la Peanut Butter Sandwich Wings”. Scott’s documenting his build of an X-Wing fighter. But it’s not just for any old reason… Scott’s work is for the Lord. He’s raising money to fund drilling a well a in Africa. All the proceeds from his efforts are going straight to that. So

Scott Girvan is addicted to modeling. And Scott loves the Lord. Combine the two, and you get a Christian modeling website! (Kinda cool idea…. 😉 ) Scott’s goal is simple but powerful. He wants to fund a well in Africa. A very tangilbe way to love his neighbor. So he’s selling various wares on his site to fund that. And

I remember as a kid being part of the “Revell Master Modellers Club”, if I recall the name correctly. They sent me a cool club patch, and some other goodies, and there was a newsletter. (You can still find it from time to time on Ebay.) I think there may have been a kit, but I’m not sure. It’s been

Jeff Adair shares his concluding thoughts on his trip to the Nationals in Virginia Beach: Well, as it’s said, “All good things must come to an end,” sadly, so are the 2008 Nationals. This was my first trip to an IPMS National Convention and I must say that I can’t wait for Columbus! Jennifer and Billy both enjoyed the convention

A new provider of modeling resources has opened it’s virtual doors- Modeler’s Warehouse. And ya gotta love their logo- big hunk o’ pork in a pointy helmet. Their first two product releases are Warpig’s Scale Modeling Weathering Pigments, and Warpig’s Washes. According to their site, Modeler’s Warehouse is going to provide modeler’s with the “hard-to-find and not-so-obvious under one roof.”

AgapeModels.com had a table at this past weekend’s IPMS show host by IPMS Metro Atlanta. It was a great show, with quite a few vendors and a plent yof kits and parts for sale. And there were were some great models on display too. Quite a few friends dropped by our table, and I am so thankful for everyone of
