We created Modelmakers Lab because we wanted one place where scale model builders can find useful content — without the noise.
We build models just like you do. Tanks, planes, ships, dioramas. We care about the small details, good tools and the whole process of scale model making. This website is simply our way of putting everything we’ve learned, tested, and enjoyed in one place.
What You’ll Find Here
- Kit Reviews – Reviews based on real builds
- Tutorials & Tips – Painting, weathering, scratch work, and tools
- Build Projects – Full builds from start to finish
- Reference & Research – History, markings, inspiration
- News & Events – New releases, shows, and community updates
Why We Built It
There are many sites and forums, but few that combine good building, good research, and lot’s of information. We’re not here to impress anyone. We’re here to build, learn, and share — just like at a real workbench.
For Builders, By Builders
Whether you are new to the hobby or building for decades, we want this place to feel familiar. Quiet, focused, and welcoming — like sitting down at your desk with a fresh kit.
If you love the process — the plastic, the research, the paint, the patience — then you already belong here.
Welcome to Modelmakers Lab.
Let’s build.
