Technical
Just another technical. This one is 1/24 and the base kit is a Fujimi pickup brand. I just added the extra details I had on hand, like the gun, scratch built/kitbashed the gun mount and modified the interior just a little.
I have been interested in the building aspect of model making. I love building dirty trucks that look used. Show trucks are great to look at but built-to-look used is what does it for me. I've been building trucks since 2011. Before that I've been building modern military vehicles since 2002. Must say that truck building is fun and nicer on the eyes, if you old chaps know what I mean.
Hitachi Vibratory Combined Roller ZC50C-5
So far, so good. This is the 1/35 Hitachi Vibratory Combined Roller ZC50C-5 from Hasegawa. Almost done with it. I still have to add the side amber lights to the unit. As I mentioned before, this is he second vehicle that will be on my [...]
Forklift
This is a forklift I made for my present diorama I am working on at the moment. I used, the sponge technique, as well as, a sharp X-to knife for the scuffed and scratches areas. I then used light dust, and dark brown colors from Citadel. [...]
“Take’em Down… NOW! ” version 2
Although, I’m still working on this diorama, it is 99% complete. Adding a little more details and weathering to certain parts and areas, will bring it to a close. The previous diorama, version one, is no more.
Junk Yard Details
Been testing out more weathering techniques in combination with diorama placements. Trying to make smaller diorama compositions but still trying to maintain, an overall cohesive look. Will be grinding the threads of the tyres to add more [...]
Tight Squeeze
This build is still being worked on. I still have to add insignia to the 144L front grill and a little more wash and one or two details.
The title 'tight squeeze' relates to the awesomeness of how the driver managed to back in his trailer [...]
Picture Frame Diorama – Loading Bay
First things, first. I'd like to thank Andreas Rousounelis for inspiring me with his many awesome Picture frame dioramas. He is a master with these kinds of dioramas.
Giving this is my first try, I decided to go with another loading bay [...]
Fuel/Maintenance Anti-Gravity Barge
The thought process behind this build was simple. This is what the subject title entails. An old soon-to-be retired anti-gravity fuel/maintenance anti-gravity barge that service large spaceships that enters within an atmosphere.
UH100 Black Hawk – Upgrade Design
First of all, I must say that the Italeri, UH-60/MH-60 BLACK HAWK 'night raid' 1/48 scale kit, sucked big time. Maybe it was my bad luck but the fittings has one of the worst fittings I have ever experienced. Not only that, but the [...]
Major Overhaul – Stage 3
Ok guys. Here is stage 3. As you can see, since stage 2 was posted sometime ago, I've added a scratch built steel truss with an overhead crane. The overhead crane is a kit from Walthers. Yes, it is a HO scale railroad kit. But within the [...]
