Completed the elevators and attached them to the rest of the plane. #papercraft #Spitfire #scalemodel #histscalemodels
I'm now 95% off Farcebook.
I promised to help manage a couple private hobby groups and group builds because they are tied to our forums, but only when necessary. Non-negotiable.
I blocked anyone and anything that isn't #ScaleModel related, perma-wiped all my stuff ... and left only a single post telling people where else to find me if they really care.
Once the group builds / groups are done, I'm out. Or once fake AI friends start to flood the place, whichever comes first.
The last few weeks were busier than expected (traveling around England and Wales) and I didn't have energy for social media.
Now that I'm back home: elevators construction in progress. #Spitfire #papercraft #scalemodel #histscalemodels
A bit worried to find ZOMBIES in town this morning!
(It was a hastily taken photo as I have more important things to do
Sneaky (I assume Romulan) attack :-/ shouldn't be too hard to get her back in the sky but oof. #startrek #scalemodel
Started on my 1/200 #scalemodel #WW2 #USSYorktown (CV-5) for #BloodRedSkies I had plans for a nice GHQ micro scale carrier but my kids were just aware enough to know I had 1/200 scale planes for the #BattleOfMidway clearly I needed a carrier…
Starting to look like a fighter now. Decals look pretty good, white is opaque over the camouflage and still very thin
That moment of peeling off the tape and putty and wondering “how is it? Did any paint run?”
Just a little bit. First time using elastic putty and it was a dream to use.

I've built horizontal stabilizers and attached them to the fuselage. #archive #papercraft #Spitfire #scalemodel #histscalemodels
Attached the rudder to the vertical stabilizer and added a few details. #archive #papercraft #Spirfire #scalemodel #histscalemodels
A second drone shot to go with the one I posted a couple of days ago. I'll post them together as a diptych of a sorts.
Added skin to the rudder frame. #archive #papercraft #Spitfire #scalemodel #histscalemodels
Hut repaint.
This N-gauge hut was originally built by my Grandfather.
As it came to me still attached to the piece of ground it was built on, it needed little in the form of repairs, but received a full new paintjob.
It was interesting to find that, at this scale, the wood texture is raised from the surface, not carved in as is the case on larger scales.
The frame of the rudder (now for real). #archive #papercraft #Spitfire #scalemodel #histscalemodels
I wanted to try drone photography (not having my own I got some help from a friend). It's quite cool how our Earth looks like from above, even if it's just 30 meters or so.
Also, if you look close you may notice a subtle reference to the upcoming Andor Season 2.
