The following is a nice video from Haiti, showing two UFO's going over the camera operator also there looks to be some in the distance. A lot of people regard this as a fake, but it does look rather good - I certainly would like to build a model of this type of craft.

Science Fiction Models
Recently I have build some models that are non miltary in nature. These are fun for me and make excellent presents.
Silver Surfer

This is a Marvel Univer Vinyl Model Kit I found at Navy Blue. Navy Blue is a small store in Secon Square that sells second hand model kits and BB guns. The other day I purchased another eight of this style of kit. Amongst them I picked up Spiderman, Superman and The Spawn - I will post pictures of them as they are completed.
Roswell UFO

This is a Testors kit - quite simple to make but took me an age to finish. I was going for a liquid metal look but could not quite pull it off. I settle for a more worn finish instead.

This Japanese kit I found at Navy Blue as well. It was put together and finished with just a little black tempura to bring out the recessed and sprayed with clear lacquer.

Recently I build this Model 33 Summarine of the PLA of China for a friend. The final result I'm quite happy with. I did a considerable amout of experimentation with the finishing.
Finishing process
- Sprayed with lacquers
- Wash with highly thinned enamals
- Applied Tamiya weathering master rust powder
- Sprayed with clear gloss lacquer
- Painted with dark grey tempura and polished (to leave dark grey in resessed areas only)
- Sprayed with clear matt lacquer
