Welcome! We have people from all over and enjoy visiting and sharing with anyone that wants to be involved. Sometimes all it takes to get inspired and started is to just join in and watch the builds that people are creating here. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask as we enjoy...

Well, Git-R-Done!

He is state side and does mostly figures that are somewhat fantasy and along the lines of what you would find at Wonderfest. The quality of his stuff is quite good and he stands behind his products. He is out of Florida so state side. No military stuff, but if that isn't an issue he does have...

I have finally hit a milestone with this. I think I have most if not all the corrections done. All the major corrections are done. Might be a few rivets here or there that I missed and no reason to post those if/when I find them. So, here is all the pneumatic plumbing done and the lines are...

I know of a guy in the figure community that commissioned sculpts and sold resin type garage kit figures for many years. With the people he was paying to do the sculpts transitioning to digital sculpting, and having difficulties with people doing the molds and casting, he has switched completely...

If it had not been something that I actively "WANTED" for years I would never have jumped on it.

We are lucky to have any buildings from the early 1700's, but then that is old for our country. There was someone that bought and moved the old London Bridge over here if I remember correctly. Not sure where it is at this point. I guess Google would find it.

This is a very interesting idea John! I have always struggled with how to visualize things in order to do a diorama or even just a way to display the build. Your AI generated photos look really good and I can see how they would help with setting up a scene and detailing the scene out.

Here is a new update. There are a bunch of little things that just kept adding to and adding up. Redoing the rivets on this part of the carriage was a bit of a pain, but the pneumatic brake parts and linkages ended up being a big pain as they were done so half assed that it just had to be...

You are going to have to get some fairly hard brass to make that mechanism out of Greg. At a guess .010 thick. If it is too thin or soft it won't support the weight of the hood, it will just bend. I am sure it can be done, but it will need all metal parts, and some careful measurements from...

Well this build has been sitting on the "Shelf of Doom" for almost 10 years. I have been pondering about when to finish it. Now that someone "FINALLY" has created a 1/32nd kit, (that has been paid for) I think I should get busy and finish on this one. This is a bump to bring it back up to...

One thing to remember when mixing adhesives. Solvent glues work on styrene. They won't hardly touch CA. CA is an acrylic, but you can't get a bond with any solvent glue of plastic to CA. Does NOT work. (Yeah, ran into an issue with this on the howitzer build) I even tried to remove all the...

If you are applying CA glue from the bottle, then that is the big mistake. Only time I use CA straight from the bottle is on a finger cut. Otherwise I put a drop or two on glass or in my usual case a mounted sapphire crystal. Then I use a sharpened and polished wedge shaped steel wire to...

NOPE! Not even fostering. If I want companionship I will get the 4 legged barking or purring kind.

Thanks for the part photos Paddy! Once I got over the WTF my eyes, it was kind of funny. Damn those are small.
