This one went pretty fast! These book nook models really kind of fall in between model making and something like a 3d puzzle, so I ended up finishing it after just a few days, but it was still really fun! There are 4 different LED lights I had to rig up here and they all connect to a touch sensor on the base so you don’t have...

I’ve finished the building and the light works! Now I just have to arrange all the stuff in there!
There are so many tiny props in this thing lol! There are a few more smaller pieces to assemble and I’m working on the sign now, then I can start on the room where it all will come together!
This one is quite a bit more difficult than the last one, but SO much fun! I will have to do a lot of cleanup on some of these before I assemble the full finished model, but it’s going great so far!...
I put the penny there for scale! Looking at it in closeup like this I can see a lot of mistakes I made, but that just means the next one will be even better!

I don’t think I’ve built a model in nearly a decade, but I was feeling very low today and something about this little kitchen scene I found at the local craft shop really appealed to me!
I’ve got a 3D printed project, and went over it with a couple of airbrushed coats of a 50/50 mix of Tamiya X-35 (their alcohol-based acrylic semi-gloss) and Mr Color Levelling Thinner. As far as I can tell, it looks good so far, but now the room next to the one I sprayed in smells of solvent a few hours later, despite...
So my first model from revell Just to keep my hands busy 🤣 It supposed to be a tiki tiger only thing not from kit are the tracks. I have melted original ones 🙄 https://i.imgur.com/h0pttNO.jpghttps://i.imgur.com/SUp4tMN.jpghttps://i.imgur.com/CPiHVYp.jpghttps://i.imgur.com/htMwLgQ.jpg
Rust effect created by layering red/dark brown/light brown/orange/orange and tan/tan paint. Each layer was very thinly applied. Scotchbrite (fine grade) was used to homogenise the colours occasionally, then layering continued.
The kit was quite good with some minor fitting issues (mostly my own fault) and it has fantastic decals....
First time I’m doing a little base, not quite done yet.

Preparation of the mech I designed in FreeCAD, then printed on an Elegoo Mars 2. Pieces still need to be cleaned up a bit before being assembled, and I am not sure on the pose I want it to be in when finished (it is designed to be multi posable, not just to be assembled in one particular position). Also, no idea on a colour...
I finished the Sea Harrier yesterday. My third finished kit. Had some interesting mistakes along the way, and it was the first time reviving such old decals (yellowed and broken). Learned a lot. Given the troubles I had, I am very happy with the end result....
