Full Speed Ahead! USS Hercules (PHM-2) & USS Taurus (PHM3) at the Florida Keys

      The Pegasus Class hydrofoil patrol craft were once the fastest surface vessels in the US. However their careers were pretty short between 1977 to 1993. This was…

About the Author

Paul Ooi Modelworks was as model building service in the Twin Cities from 2011 to 2018. I have since relocated to Northern Colorado and now only build for my own recreation. I have been building plastic model kits on and off since 1972, my first kit being an Airfix 1/72 scale P47 Thunderbolt (still a favorite after all these years).

“あそこで!” (Over There!) – The Guardian by Black Sun Miniatures

I came upon this resin kit of a guardian robot and a feisty boy recently from Black Sun UK. Instead of the suggested sunny yellow scheme, I decided to try something different in muted shades of teal and vermilion. A traveling child with a mighty robot is a recurring theme…

Morris Mini 850 – My College Ride

Messerschmitt Bf 109-G6 – Der schwarze Teufel over Hungary

The Messerschmitt Bf 109 can really grow on you, as I just built a second one immediately after my recent Friedrich project. Between the Hans Bob Bf 109-F2 and Erich Hartmann’s Bf 109-G6, there were 4 years of hard fighting against the Soviets in the Eastern Front. Erich Hartmann still…

Messerschmitt Bf 109-F2 “Yellow One” – Barbarossa Hunter

The Bf 109 needs no introduction. I have built this famous fighter in the forms of the Finnish Mersu (Gustav) and the Israeli Avia. What was really missing for me was to build a mottled German hunter that made the Bf 109 into the legend and much-feared adversary in WW2.…
