"Sam's Study" books shop model (lemmy.world)
This is pretty much all the furniture that will go in this one! Now I’m starting the daunting task of building all the books that go on the shelves lol
Magic House book nook completed! (closeups in post) (lemmy.world)
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...

Update: Kiki's Magic Emporium (lemmy.world)
I’ve finished the building and the light works! Now I just have to arrange all the stuff in there!
Update: Kiki's Magic Emporium (lemmy.world)
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!
Progress so far on Kiki's Magic Emporium by Rolife (lemmy.world)
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!...
[Completed] Rolife Afternoon Baking Time (lemmy.world)
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!
Just a few more pieces to finish on this one! (lemmy.world)

I started this little Rolife model today (lemmy.world)
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!
How long does Mr Color Levelling Thinner take to stop smelling?
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...

More WIP on the Base for My Mech Model
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....

Preparing the Mech model I designed/printed (lemmy.ml)
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...
Sea Harrier FRS.1, 1:72, Hasegawa, with magnets (www.scalemates.com)
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....
