CaptGPFDoes that window also roll up and down?! That's truly sick! Watching!

Robert PodkońskiWow! That's huge! Does it have all the functionalities of the original? 😄

Roger Trewenack AuthorYeah, everything except the 88mph & time travel bits!!! 🙂
it certainly has the weight, around 7kg at the moment!

Paul EdenThis diorama is mind blowing. Literally thought it was a photo of a real scene at first. Thanks for shar8ng, fabulous example of model making art.

CaptGPFI just don't know how you do it - building such perfect pieces, laying them out on a beautifully haunting setting and arranging everything to tell a story is simply astounding! ❤️❤️❤️

Matteo Pescarinoh that's really cool work you did with the aluminum rod, what did you use as a chisel?
29 April, 08:23
MS K Author@Matteo - What you see in the photo is a lathe blade.
At first I used a lathe blade, but I don't know if it's because the aluminum is so soft, but it doesn't cut sharp 🙁
So, unlike in the photo, I carved with a diamond file, cut with an art knife, and polished with sandpaper.
I would like to recommend Oilstone.

Most of the kit assembled. No locating pins, so dead reckoning called for. The bane of my life too, photo etch.
Project: Marcel Bloch MB.151 C.1
16 27 April, 19:46
Nick DragoneLooking good, forge ahead. Funny, I can and have used tons of photoetch on ships without any issues. Outside of seat harnesses I have no desire to add or use PE on aircraft. Most if not all of it is hidden or not that much better than the kit part. Just my humble opinion 😄
27 April, 21:11
Mark Sherwood AuthorI hate photo etch with a passion Nick. I would rather use the kit part, like yourself than photo etch. If I can get hold of fabric set's of seatbelts I use them. Or mock them up with masking tape. Thank you for the compliment too. 🤟🥸🤘

Garynice build does that say "irish men make good pilots always in the air about something " lol
27 April, 19:38
Johannes Schendlinger AuthorThanks for yopur comments mates!
@Stefan: I agree with you. I think that's why I've always been fascinated by Navy aircraft; they often prioritize function over form. The results aren't exactly beautiful, but they are certainly eye-catching.
@Gary: Yes, exactly. I chuckled when I saw it, too.

Greg Baker AuthorSo here's an interesting Tintin project I've been working on for a while now. The hardest part was getting the electronics to work. After beating an ESP32 microcontroller into submission I was finally able to get my tiny screen to display the video/audio clip I trimmed from the Tintin animated series. With that success, I moved on to 3D design of the awesome Professor Calculus invention, The Supercolor-Tryphonar (as seen in the Castafiore Emerald album). Next up... 3D printing and assembly.
In the meantime, here's the proof-of-concept video...

Greg Baker AuthorThanks guys! First batch of files just came off the 3D printer. Will need to make a couple of adjustments to the screen size, but it's looking good so far. Also, I knew the steel bar supports were going to be too small to print properly (they warp while they dry), but I've got a bit of metal screen that I can cut into strips. Hopefully will look better and actually support the thing.
1 26 April, 19:25
Greg Baker AuthorOk, so all the main pieces are off the 3D printer and I've cut the metal sheet into the straightest strips I could manage. It was quite difficult to bend it tightly along a single line. Much thicker than a regular PE part, but hopefully will look the part.
I had a lot of difficulty getting the electronics to work. I followed another maker's project (there are several versions of the ESP32 Mini TV projects on YouTube), but it was both a hardware problem because none of them seemed to wire up the screen's backlight, but until I did, I had not even a flicker. It was also a software problem because the library code was out of date, so I needed to go backwards to make it compatible, which led to other problems. Anyway, I vowed to use my Easter long weekend to either solve it for good, or give up forever (yeah, right!). After sourcing each of the issues one by one, I finally got it to work. Next is the assembly!

Greg Baker AuthorWelcome to the show everyone!
First round of painting is done. After drilling out slots for both the USB power hookup and the microSD card slot, I also used some of the leftover MDF planks from my Unicorn project to add a bit of thickness to the base.

AldodjHow to buy this detail set up kit
30 April, 00:51
gorbyScalemates is not a shop. Some companies and members use it to sell items but the site itself does not.
Go to the page of the item you are interested in and there may be some on offer - about half way down the page to the 'Marketplace' section.
Alternately, click on the 'brand' name on the page you have seen the item you are interested in and then click on the 'Homepage' link.
