    Anyone for a new T-shirt?

    Kiss me Hardy........! The new Nelson look hoody arrived. Since it came from China I ordered a bit too large, I'm a big guy but 3 X Large is too much. I should have gone with my normal XL, anyway it's not like I will wear it to the golf club. I am overall quite impressed I thought it might...

    Jap Anime

    So I got around to painting my little anime project. Very different from normal painting since there is no toning and all the colours are just flat. Still it was a fun project and more lessons learnt. John

    Jap Anime

    Being somewhat frivolous in nature I thought I would have a go at sculpting a Jap Anime type figure. A bit rough but at least I learned a lot about working with Sculpy. John

    1/35 Scale Shadow box Dinner on the front line from Miniart.

    John I don't know if this is too late, but I seem to remember that you are also a chippy, so this is not hard to knock up. I do suggest that you construct your shadow box a little like this so that you can insert the actual model and still remove it to adjust placement and lighting and so on...

    Arduino

    Hi again all So I had decided to get into this subject and see what it might be able to do. I bought one of these kits which is really very good indeed. It contains the basic arduino board as well as any number of sensors and devices to allow you to learn. There are example programs and...

    Scotties meat chopper.

    Paul Another real beauty, great job. I did take the liberty of correcting the colour balance of one of the pictures since I think your pictures don't do it full justice. Looks about as real as you can get. Bravo John

    Out of my comfort zone.

    Del Bravo for giving this a go and good luck. I have built a few ships and painted even more. Captains were very picky about the appearance of their ships and spent a lot of their own money on paint and gold trim to keep everything in order. As a couple of guys have said the deck would be...

    Need the name for a type of display please.

    John I hope you don't mind this piccie in your thread. It is indeed a box diorama and Shep Payne was the master (check out his battle of Trafalgar dio if you can find it on the interweb). The best part of this type of build is having fun with adding lighting, John

    Arduino

    Good to see that there is some interest. Mark You seem to be a resident expert so be prepared for stupid questions in the future. I am thinking of using arduino in the context of boxed dioramas and maybe even puppets. This is the sort of thing that could perhaps be animated with some...

    Arduino

    Hi all I have been noticing more and more lately that modellers are beginning to use arduino based control systems to add lights, sound and/or movement to models they build. I was wondering if anyone here has been looking into this and has considered learning about arduino, as I am? John

    Puppet

    I am still wasting my days working on puppets. I am up to my fourth now so this is very probably the last. His name is Gawain (for any students of 14th century literature). A bit more sophisticated with the costuming. The sword scabbard is hand sewn faux leather, with a hilt made from magic...

    Christmas in the country

    Happy New Year to y'all. This was our Christmas day. Wind storm, power outage, tree down on our barn. Fortunately no major damage. Finally got the tree guys in on Tuesday, who did a great job tidying up. Who doesn't love the countryside....! John

    An American Spy Ship?

    Richard This is really an outstanding piece of mini construction, very well done. Now you know me and always have a suggestion. Believe it or not there is a science to ships waves that could rank alongside rivet counting as a sign of OCD. However the wake in your ocean looks to me a little...

    Puppet

    Neil, Tim and Steven Thanks for your indulgence, and kind comments. I know I said I wouldn't pester you any more but I just had to work out one more prototype. Mk III. I wanted to try to build the mechanics for a 5 controls head. Using what I had learned from Mk I and Mk II. So here is my...

    Puppet

    Hi guys I have really got the bug for animating characters so I am working on Mk II. I wanted to improve on just the mouth working by adding eyelids, and 2D head tilts. Still lots to do but the main mechanics are done. This was a real challenge to build using just simple hardware items that can...
