I completely forgot that I made an Imgur post once ... 🙃

The buildup of the TIE Interceptor I did a couple years ago. Actually a little bit of a kit-bash.

I mainly use Imgur as one of my image backups, although they have recently made it less convenient to do so without having to post. For me at least.

I'm looking into ...

Airfix Snatch land rover 1:48 work in progress. Shame all this internal detail gets hidden when I put the next parts on, but at least I know it's there.

Moving on another stage, I'll finally build bits of the interior. And I pulled out of the box a couple of guys to help with the build.

I've added buffers and coupling and now the model is complete. 3679 numbered parts, 4600 rivets, and a year and a half of work but it was worth it😀 But now I'm a bit worried what it will be like to not work on it😅

The Messerschmitt Bf 109.

This scale model (1:72 I think) has been repaired and re-painted after spending decades in a box in a garage.

And is a companion piece to the previous Spitfire.

Based with a cotton wool cloud and added smoke/fire.

I followed the paint scheme that I found it with, no clue if it's real.

More angles of the Messerschmitt Bf 109.

The smoke/fire is made of 3 layers of cotton wool, dyed red, orange and black/grey.
Added in clumps and teased out to shape.

N-gauge train shed. 1:160 scale.

Re-built, Repaired, and Re-painted.

The colour of the painting was matched to how it was originally painted by my Grandfather, just in my more realistic style.

Mech' workshop.

Built from scratch, using mostly card (for the exterior) and various pieces and plastic stock (to fill the interior).

Designed to fit the Infinity ttg aesthetic, and be playable.
Includes scatter terrain pieces, and removable roof for interior access.

The interior of heavily detailed, and stands as a diorama of sorts.

Rooftop paving and small garden feature. A figure stands to one side and some crates are visible in the background.
Rear view of the workshop. A ladder allows rooftop access. Some graffiti is visible around back.
Interior of the workshop. Lots of details, from the central robotic arms to tool storage, various scatters pieces of "mechs" to a sole coffee cup on a table.

I created 3 pieces of scatter terrain to go with Mik's Mech' Shop.

The crates are casts of my own wooden box kits, and the cardboard boxes and pallets are made of card. Plus some fabric soaked in PVA/water to cover them.

This was a surprise reveal that I had found my Dad's trains we thought were missing/stolen.

Tractor.
Stylised, cartoon concept sketch.

Rather than my usual accurate scale model building, I decided to do something cartoony as a present for a farming sim' fan.

Bodywork is mostly sprue and plasticard and the tyres are a thin layer of epoxy putty over polystyrene foam.

This hut was built from mainly mis-casts of my multi-part wooden hut kit. With a few scratchbuilt parts to give it "life".
28mm (1:56) scale.

The kit were made for me to learn about model kit production and see if it was a good direction to go in.

This model stands as an example of what can be achieved with my kit, and a little skill.

Front view of a wooden hut. The door is closed. Some damage can be seen in the roof. A storage tank can been seen to one side and a metal "crow's nest" is on the roof.

Closer looks at the structure of the hut kit example build.

The wall panels are interchangable and invertable, as are the posts inside. This was a design choice to avoid repetition in the wall surface.

The doorway and window can also be placed anywhere around the wall of the hut.

Crash!
Terrain piece at 28mm (~1:56) scale.
Scratchbuilt from mostly card, foamcore and some household scrap.

Why did it crash?
Where's the driver?
Why is it still there?
Who's the clown with the spraypaint?

Scale model of a van crashed into a building. Seen from above. The van is wrecked and rusty, the windscreen is cracked and mouldy. The building is in ruins.

More pictures of the multi-ped tank, HAW206.

Here you see the top and the underside.

The jointed areas have been painted with a polishable paint (Humbrol Metalcote). My thought being that as these parts move this kind of paint will wear more realistically (rather than just scraping off).

and yes, arms, legs, and "tail" are all posable.

Photo showing the movement possible with the "tail" of the HAW206 multi-ped tank. It can actually reach much farther round and almost staighten out.

It includes a removable roof, sliding doors, and working lights.

The furniture inside the Hut on Mound (yet to think up a better name) is covered in many trinkets.

While the small tables at the back are fixed in place, the large shelf unit is removable to make space.
This also allows a good look at the items on the shelves.

And a reminder that this is built at 28mm / 1:56 scale.

This hut was created for a friendly contest with the condition that the model was made from recycled materials.

The base is an old CD,
The texturing is dried paint,
The roof is scrap card,
The cloth above the doorway is old climbing tape,
And everything else is made from plastic sprue...

This is my sprue hut.

This pair of Alien eggs were sculpted by hand and are about the size of a chicken's egg.
