The hobbiest hobby

Started building my first tank. Why are all the doors supposed to be glued shut? Wouldn’t it be cooler if they opened and closed on hinges?

Is there a realistic way to achieve this?

I can’t really view this at work, but there’s a tutorial here for hinging the doors

Built in the car while my kids do sporting activities. Really enjoyable little kit.

Two sororitas rhinos. Easier than I expected.

Gave up on the idea of making hinged doors.

Made one mistake of using a space marine front but added some religious bits and bobs to hide it.

Got this under the tree. Should keep me busy for a few months.

Nah, enjoy that, I can’t justify that until I get back into model building again, might pick up a Tie and start slowly

It’s a slippery slope, they’re in the same scale though so it’ll make a nice set. Next I’ll just need to knock some walls through to make some space downstairs for the 1/72 Star Destroyer.

steer clear of The Replica Prop Forum if you’ve not already been there, the levels that people go to in the Studio Scale forum to recreate ships from the films is borderline autistic.

Wanted something fairly quick and easy so threw this adorable little guy together, although did take the time to paint and panel line him:

Just finished ten repentia and questioning my faith in the emperor for creating ladies with such fiddly arms weilding massive chainsaws and balancing on one leg…

Are those Black Series? either way, they might be the best shelves for them

They are mostly (obviously not BB8, ect), 1970/80s originals by the look of it.

I think so, mostly original range arranged by film

Festive season in the 41st millenium

I’ve toyed with doing similar with my transformers collection. They are much bigger though so those particular shelves won’t work. Perfect for Staw wars though.
