Rocketfin is about building scale model kits. I've been modeling since 1970. I build more cars than anything else but I also build any model that interests me - from Scifi, figures, and an occasional ship or aircraft. I've built models of plastic, vinyl, resin, and 3D parts. I've enjoyed the hobby in my life and now I hope to add a few videos to those that may be interested in models - whether they are new to the hobby or an old pro. Welcome !

Finished the Naked Model Group Build by @sodakmodelcars #mazda #rx7
I finished my entry in the Naked Model Group Build hosted by @sodakmodelcars . My model was an Aoshima Mazda RX7. It's not pretty at all - I'm not very good with unpainted models. But I'm glad I joined in since I hadn't done this type of build before.

My next project is the Monogram / Revell Plymouth Duster funny car model. This is a new version of the famous Cop Out kit designed by Tom Daniel. It should be a fun build and of course - it's HEMI powered !

I finished building an Aoshima Nissan Gazelle race car. It's 1:24 scale and a curbside. It was a fun build. I used Tamiya Red and Gloss Black.

This is just a short tour of a new space I will be using to build scale models. I I used to build in my garage but decided to use this room instead for 2025. I still need to add more / different lighting for videos, and I want to make something to add shop cards and such just behind the bench, but for the most part it is set up the way I want for now.

I finished my Tamiya Toyota Supra GT model. I saw a video where another modeler painted his example of this kit red and I thought that really looked good so I used that inspiration to make my own red version. Tamiya Red, Matte Black and White paints. Gloss black was used on the wheels. Email - rocketfin@gmail.com Check out Rocketfin on Pinterest - 1000s of reference pictures for modelers - www....

Turned out nice Bruce
It looks quite complete! Glad the body was molded in blue ; )
That's a fun build, enjoy!!!! 🔥
Thanks !
Looks sweet Bruce!! Nice kit and im with ya it is hard not to do any painting lol
Looks great Bruce!
Looks good to me. Interesting info about your building experience. Kinda made mental notes. If Novus and or compound and polish wont work I would be stumped too. 👍👍😎
It's possible I'm doing something wrong. I polished the different ways by hand - and with a small powered brush (suggested by another video I saw) but it didn't seem to make a difference. Thanks for watching ! 🙂
Looks good to me. Nice job.
Came out nice, brother, great work!! ✌️😁
Great tip, my friend!! ✌️😁
Great tip!
Excellent tip thanks for sharing
Looks pretty good to me. That sucks the novus didn't work I've always had good luck with the #2 I hardly ever use #1 and #3.
I believe the directions say do it in steps ? I am sure I tried all 3 bottles -- but there was no magic. I'm probably doing it wrong LOL Thanks for watching the video 👍
Mopar or No Car! Love the body style of the 70s Duster.
Definitely ! 🙂
Cool kit. And I think those decals will look awesome on there too! Love that idea with the Mopar theme.
Thanks Kyle !
Cool kit. You can use vinyl glue for the tires/slicks.
Thanks !
Love this kit! Original issue was the Tom McEwen Duster in 1970 by Monogram. Wish I could get my mits on one!
That would be cool 🙂 I'm just getting started on it so hopefully it all works out. No decal for the grille so I'm going to have to mask that off and paint it. Ugh
@@brucek3217 Yeah, gigantic pain!
Very cool I like the decals I thought I already had a sub but I just did sub you again do you watch in for updates?
Would be fun to also make the burning fire effect. :D
LOL My modeling skills are not as good as yours 🙂
@@brucek3217 Nar I just mess around; like, last year I finally knew how to properly top clear glossy coat XD XD X')
Nice kit Bruce! Looking forward to seeing it finished.
Thanks !
That's gonna be a cool project!! ✌️😁
Thanks ! 🙂
👀👀👍Watching this. I would use flex glue on tires. Don't remember wrinkled sidewalls. Like the decals . Yes Hemi appropriate 👍👍
Thanks ! 🙂 Flex glue sounds like a good idea
Cool Bruce!! Looking forward to that build.
Thanks 🙂
@@brucek3217 Your welcome!!
It's a very cool car model. I'm looking forward to making it.
Thanks ! 🙂
Sweet decals for the kit. I think it will look awesome.
I like the decal sheet. It's a shame about those tyres. The crumpled bit is a good idea but they are a waste of time. I agree with you on the engine types👍. Thanks for showing and best wishes from jolly old England 👍😎Pete 🤓
Thanks Pete 🙂
Awesome build Bruce!! I really love those Silhouette racers. That Gazelle looks terrific. The red and black was a nice choice. I can’t wait to see the Mazda. Those are some of my favorite race cars. Figure is pretty cool. Definitely must have some residue left on it. I’ve never painted any figures. I really want to. But it looks so tough. Definitely looks fun though
Thanks Kyle !
@ you’re welcome!
That’s a really nice spot Bruce!! Love the stash shelving system!! Wish I had somewhere to put one. 🤔 Maybe I should get some racking and whatever fits on the shelf should be my stash. Lord knows I have too many kits. Love the tile. That’s excellent.
Thanks ! The model kit shelving is quite common I bought them on Amazon years ago but now I have seen them at Lowes as well. It only takes a few minutes to assemble them. The rack one with supplies is the same thing except it included the plastic tubs. That was more money but it's very practical and it's on wheels since I used to have it in the garage and moved it around all the time. I bought this stuff back when I had more spare money than I do now LOL
@ it’s a really nice setup!! As for the shelving I just don’t know where I’d put it at the moment so most of my kits are in closets or totes. Need to build the stash down and re-evaluate. Lol.
LIKE 23 I REALLY LIKE YOUR VIDEOS ❤ WISH YOU SUCCESS AND INSPIRATION ❤🔮✨
Thank you !
👍👍😎
Looks good Bruce. Nicely organized.
New sub. Looks great!
Thank you ! I subbed you as well 🙂
That makes a pretty cool vehicle-and-figure combo! ; )
Nissan looks Good!!! Bummer on the primer not sticking to the figure. Let us know how the IPA works on her. I like those other 2 figures. Thanks for sharing
Fantastic build Bruce!
Thanks !
Very cool. Nice clean build. Glad you shared.
Thanks !
Awesome build Bruce!! That Mazda is sweet! The figures are cool, I cant get the hang of the flesh tones lol
I'm still learning - but I really enjoy painting them 🙂
@@brucek3217 Thats cool!!
Beautiful build, brother, and cool figures ✌️😁
Thanks !
On your 3D printed ANYTHING, wash them down with Isopropyl Alcohol thoroughly first, then rinse with fresh water! Should be no problem after that!
Thanks Tim ! 🙂
Thats really slick!! Nice build!
The Nissan turned out awesome. I have a box of figures from China I bought on ebay a long time ago. Never even opened one yet.
I've gotten a few of them over the years through ebay. Some are really good, a few not so much. 🙂
Nice update Bruce ❤😊
Thanks !
Those figures are really cool Bruce.
Thank you !
It's a nostalgic car! It reminds me of the old days. Please continue to show us various works in your new workspace. looking forward to it.
Arigato ! 🙂
Nice to have a tidy space to work in. It looks very well organised.👍😀
Thanks!
So this is what a modeling space should be? Ugh. Hmmm. Yep, I am in the house modeler. But in the kitchen. Constantly moving and looking for stuff. May try a dedicated space in my office. Oddly, we have ceramic tile countertops. I concur, they have saved me a bunch of times. Paint and glue comes right off. Great thought starter. Thx for showing👍👍😎
I have modeled on the kitchen table before. Back when I lived in an apartment. Since I've been in the house the last 30 years I've modeled in several rooms inside and twice in the garage LOL I can't say where I am now will be permanent but hopefully :-) Thanks for watching !
The new work space looks great! I don't keep a lot of kits on hand either. I'm not a collector lol.
Nice hobby room! Now I need to do something with mine! Lol
Thank you! It's an ever evolving thing LOL But hopefully it will be in this room for a while.
Excited to see your kit shelf :D ; )
Thanks ! 🙂
