Just For Fun ScaleModels

[video] Resin tinting has worked really well for the #BlueLights. Took a whole lot more than a couple of drops of the dye to get anything like an intense enough colour. #JFFLetterB

[image] The hatch opens and closes perfectly.

[image] Morning all. Ok, this isn't mine. Dan Boone(@Dog1) just finished this. For some reason, he can't put pics up here. I'm doing it for him as his work is stellar and needs to be seen. 1/32 Revell kit. Send kudos to Dan as he did a fantastic job.

[image] My Land Rover fire truck made it into the #MakerMonday round-up in the latest Raspberry Pi Magazine! @rpimagazine

[image] Ok, I’m calling the fire truck finished. There will be bits and bobs to fiddle with, but I think we’re done. Really fun build with lots of entertaining stuff like the 3D print designs and special effects - of which you can find out more here: #JFFLetterB

[image] Some more pics of the Takom siege mortar. #JFFWWI

[image] Upper hull under way on the Jagdpanther…..

[image] F-82 Day3: Starts looking like a Twin 'stang with a third nose, the direction that I am aiming for is getting evident.

[image] So, easy part’s done.. 😅 Now for the face, which is where it will all go horribly wrong. Ping @OlleSandberg_ #JFFWWI

[image] Proceeding with the weathering on the siege mortar. Want to get a nuanced and worn overall finish. Chipping fluid over the primer and oil paint, then sprayed a two tone layer of dark and light German green, then chipped it off in areas of wear. Next up, flat coat to seal. #JFFWWi

[image] Pre-shading the Fokker.

[image] 内装完成！！ The interior is complete！！

[image] And with my kitchen-table packaging production line in operation, is open for business!

[image] Ready to put some primer on the siege howitzer! Just dry fitted for now, will break down for painting. 👍

[image] First test fit of fire crew and ladders. Such a good kit in spite of its age. #JFFWWI

[image] Airfix Scale : 1-72 Model: Mosquito MKXVI Paints : Real Colour lacquer Got her colours on this morning

[image] Nicely detailed, the old Airfix chassis is quite complex, so quite a bit of loose fitting before committing to glue. #JFFWWI

[image] Good Morning. Ready to fight the Cylons. #JustForFunScaleModels

[image] First test of my James Bond DB5 centre console. Pretty reasonable fit for a first attempt, and the button detailing has come out well. #JFFLetterB

[image] My 109E winning an Excellence Award hooray😄😄

[image] 1’st of the month so gracing the community header pic for the month of August is the magnificent Stearman PT-17 ICM kit in 1/32nd scale. From @GavicWayne

[image] First headlight test. LEDs on about half power, which is probably about right. #JFFWWI

[image] I may have started another 1-72 thing 😬

[image] Pump, bonnet hoses, siren and pump controls for 1/43 scale @Airfix Land Rover fire engine conversions. My designs, 3D printed in resin, and now painted up. Happy with that. #JFFLetterB

[image] Extra track links done, along with the tow cables and tools. Need to sort the top hatches out - they’ll be in the open position. Should be done this week, I’ll do another photo shoot when it’s finished😀

[image] That’s all I can do with the cookie, it’s harder keeping everything in scale at 1-72 chipping is almost invisible

[image] Main colour on the Pakwagon now. Wheels are done, but not glued on yet, just wanted to see what it looked like. Going with my own camo pattern on this one, which I’ll be brush painting on. 😀

[image] First permanent fit of my 3D printed interior design. Not long now before we get the fuselage together. #JFFLetterB

[image] Heading to Scale Scotland at Murrayfield tomorra. Maybe see some of you funsters there. 👍🤞🤓

[image] Some weathering washes on the wheels and bodywork, plus a bit of overall grime on underbody and chassis. Always seems a bit perverse having spent all that effort getting a good gloss finish just to dull it down, but it is meant to be a working fire engine after all. #JFFLetterB

[image] Nearly finished, with just a few details outstanding. Would be nice to get it done by the weekend, but I’m definitely not going to rush it at this stage. #JFFWWI

[image] Brown is on! … a bit more filling in, and still a few of the curved edges to tidy up but at least the pattern is on now - what a job. Going to add a bit of white next, to both the green & brown and go in close with the airbrush to tone them down a bit. Happy with it 😀😀😀

[image] Almost there😰

[video] My fire engine again, with the remotely controlled lighting and sound effects in action (sound on). You can find out all about the tech in my latest video if anyone wants to give something similar a go: #JFFWWI

[image] ✨ Previous project 1/144 P-51D in paper #JustForFunScaleModels #paperModel #kggmodel #kggP51D

[image] Started the hasegawa bmw 2002 turbo. Really nice kit so far!!! #JustForFunScaleModels

[image] Found a good view of the barrel and noticed a number of bolts not included in the kit. Mengs Nuts & Bolts kit to the rescue and 9 pcs of 0.8 mm bolts applied. 👍 #JFFWWI

[image] And all of a sudden, utterly transformed by a coat of primer. #JFFWWI

[image] #justforfunscalemodels. I haven’t posted anything in the community for a while due to work, holiday and life but here’s an RFM SDKFZ 234/4 I’ve just finished. A lovely kit that seems to fall together.

[image] Very nearly finished. Blue lights installed and all the 3D printed bits attached. Still a bit of mild weathering to do on the back section, and a couple of details to paint. #JFFLetterB

[image] Finished. BAC Lightning F.6 by Hasegawa, kit B15. Older moulding, raised panel lines, in stash for c.15 years. Pitot by Eduard, engine pipes scratch built using Berol handwriting pen! @BlickyIan How did I do?

[image] Got some bench time to work on my contribution to the #JFFWWI - a 30,5 cm siege howitzer from Takom. Pig of a kit to be honest but with a lot of filling and sanding and some cast texture applied it’s looking reasonable. Now, I need an Austro-Hungarian figure in 1:35th… 🤔

[image] Eduard Scale : 1-72 Model: MK V B Spitfire Dual combo kit “Spitfire Story” Been painting and glossing

[image] Main parts in place. Painting and mud up next. #JFFWWI

[image] Today’s developments: my first stab at the hoses for the bonnet, and the speaker fitted to the roof. Also I remembered to order some more red paint as I’ve very nearly run out. #JFFLetterB
