Following, having similar project on my mind

Jerem Aquette
You can also use some photo etched set but once everything closed, you won't see something: only the pilot canopy can be install open.
That's why I prefer to add some simple details and make a « good » paintjob.

You can also take the zvezda kit.

Skyhiker
I've got two of these in my stash but haven't started them because they look like trouble. Watching with interest.

Moreno Baruffini
I've started a similar kit ( still not shown here), watching with interest too!

Skyhiker
I just realized that this is the Italeri mold from the 90s and not the old Revell from the 70s. I was wondering why you had recessed panel lines.

Bill Newcomer
Following.

Bill Newcomer
Very colorful. I have never seen white ignition wires before.

Szilard Tevald
Thanks Bill! I try to do a "show" car from this. I've found the black wires not very attractive, so decided to make it with white 🙂

Bill Newcomer
Cool. I have done a few colored sets myself.

Miguel Vaquero
Probably, my most ambitous project yet. Im going to try and recreate a sinking of a submarine with depth charges, droped from a destroyer. Everything in 1/700 scale. For this, i bought the Battle of the Atlantic set, wich comes with a J-Claas destroyer, a type VII German submarine and a Short Sunderland amphibous plane.

gorby
Sounds like an interesting project, I'll tag along. 🙂

David Taylor
Yuup.

Jay Dubya
Permission to come aboard Captain Vaquero?

Landlubber Mike
Looking forward to following this one!

Miguel Vaquero
Welcome aboard guys!! Happy to have you along.

Of course Jay! There's always room in my ships😁😁

Miguel Vaquero
Sub already done! It was small but detailed. The PE parts were really a challenge. Some weathering it's all it's left.

Miguel Vaquero
Today i wanted to work on how i want my diorama to look. So i hoped on blender and downloded some free assets and placed them together to see how i want it to look. I think for the quantity of resin and the accuracy of the scene this is going to be more or less the final desing of my diorama.

Miguel Vaquero
Starting with the destroyer. Awesome detail too but a million tiny parts. Good challenge for sure

Miguel Vaquero
Destroyer assembly done! To the paint booth

Jay Dubya
RAAF 10 Squadron Flying Porcupine next please, Miguel ?!!?

Kesa Tiho
I am in love
Fantastic build

Miguel Vaquero
Thanks Kesa!!

Miguel Vaquero
I don't know if I'm going to finish the Sunderland😞😞. The fitting between the fuselages is too bad and fragile, using putty is not going to do the trick this time cause it will hide a lot of the nice detail and I will not be satisfied. I'll think about how to do it but there's not much hope now😓

Miguel Vaquero
To get my mind of the plane. I decided to destroy the sub.it turned out perfect, as I intended

Jay Dubya
Not really where you are headed with your diorama, but this might give a bit of context to my 'historical' comment Miguel.

"A Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) Sunderland (of No. 10 Squadron) made the type's first unassisted kill of a U-boat on 17 July 1940.[3]"
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Short_Sunderland

Flying Porcupine
"Two examples, in particular, stand out: on the 13th of April 1940, a Sunderland operating off the coast of Norway was attacked by six Ju-88C heavy fighters – the Sunderland shot down one JU-88, damaged another so seriously it had to quit the fight, and drove the rest away.

A 1943 encounter with JU-88 was even more savage when a Sunderland from 461 Sqn RAAF was attacked by eight JU-88C long-range fighters. Despite the Sunderland being heavily damaged with most of the crew wounded, the Sunderland downed three attackers, damaged and drove off the rest and made the 560-kilometre return journey to Britain where the heavily damaged aircraft was beached at Cornwall."

adf-serials.com.au/sunderland.htm

Keep up the great work on these tiny models.
Cheers

PS The nickname 'Flying Porcupine' was probably just a bit of allied propaganda as there's not a lot of evidence the Germans ever referred to a Sunderland as one. It's a lot like the Japanese with the Beaufighter and Whispering Death.

Miguel Vaquero
Thanks for all the info Jay! I really appreciate it. And they could fit very well with this diorama. They actually performed anti submarine operations from GB and they actually sunk 6 U-boats.

I'm sure if I'm able to fix my Sunderland, I'll paint it with their colours. I loved their history

Miguel Vaquero
The U-Boat has exploded!!💥💥

gorby
The explosion effect is very realistic.

Miguel Vaquero
Thanks Gorby!!

Miguel Vaquero
I've already glued the U-Boat to the acrylic sheet. As the background for the diorama states that the aft reserve torpedo exploded, to hide the cables I made some bubbles coming down from the exploded compartment. It's not the best but it's better than to have some cables seen.

Miguel Vaquero
The acrylic sheets mold is done. The ship is now lifted with nylon cord to place on to the resin without sinking. And the u-Boat is secured in the container.

Next step, the resin pouring. I've never been so nervous about a model.

gorby
Good luck with the resin Miguel.

Shar Dipree
following

Miguel Vaquero
Some bubbles formed. Not the best result, also they are positioned in places where some bubbles would be formed. Overall I think it turned out great.

Jay Dubya
Absolutely 'killed it' - well done Miguel!

Miguel Vaquero
Thanks Jay!

That bubble on the bow is killing me. It's right on the surface of the resin but I don't know how to get rid of it, and if I'll make it worse if I try something

talbot
wow, absolutely love this

David Taylor
Brill.

Landlubber Mike
Wow, really cool man! Well done!

Rui S
Excellent work 👍

Miguel Vaquero
Thanks a lot guys! There's still some work to do. But it's getting there.

I've made the form of the waves with some acrylic gel. Let's wait for it to dry and then to make some foam

Guy Rump
Great job, very impressive. 👍

Miguel Vaquero
Thanks Guy!

I ended up making and painting the Sunderland, flying the colors Jay suggested. The end result, I think it's salvageable. I'm wondering if I should put it in the diorama. The downside is ill have to stick it with some transparent acrylic rod. It's going to be visible but not too much. I think if I mask the bottom part of the rod, the one closer to the water, as a droped depth charge from the porcupine, the result might not be bad at all.
What do you guys think

Jan Peters
Very cool set up, and very ambitious. You're a braver man than I.
Love the effect of the explosion, very convincing.

John
What ? No June or August !

Martin Oostrom
I now have to live with that failure for the rest of my life. 2023 is ruined forever
🤪

Bill Newcomer
Dude! You need to build faster!

OK you made me look at my damage. I bought 33 kits this year. AYE, Yi Yi!

Spanjaard
you can still order some more to compensate for June and Augist LOL!!!

John
Now I had to look at mine, 31 kits this year. One regional show and IPMS/USA in 2024 so I'm thinking dozens more in 2024. Happy New Year and Modeling in '24

bossy122
I find it better not to pay attention. I just added 5 more and haven't finished a damn thing in forever. Is there a way to see what all got added to the stash in THE STASH?

Ellis Smith
Woah I need to buy more kits to keep up with you lot, mines a very small stash by comparison.

Martin Oostrom
Welcome, my fellow addicts 😄

Bossy, if you add the date bought and the price when adding a kit to your stash, you get two 'benefits'...
1) Your projects show a total cost 🙁
2) In the stash, on the right in blue, you see a date in a blue bar, that's your date bought/sold.

bossy122
Yes, I noticed the dates. Looks like I acquired 29 kits and only finished 4, none of which were started this year. Awful.

Spanjaard
good i have never added those details 😄

Pepe
😲

Bill Newcomer
Martin, the date method is how I determined my count for this year. I am generally pretty good at adding inventory. Cost? I don't want to know. Especially since I have purchased a lot of paint this year.

Martin Oostrom
Bill, Paints are priceless to me! I love the Molotow stuff, but at €29 for 30ml, thats too much. I'll wait for a discount somewhere.
I know that a €50 kit needs about €10-25 in aftermarket stuff and paint.

Bill Newcomer
Have you tried Green Stuff World Chrome?

Martin Oostrom
Nope. I did a quick google search and we have one supplier over here and 17ml costs €7,99 with another €7,50 for shipping.
Alclad is cheaper, but oh so fiddly to get just right. Que the Molotow!

Jv
I missed this post
Yes you should do this
I am always interested in stach albums
Always interesting to see what others get
Sometimes I see kits I haven seen before
I also.love to see what people wish for here its a good way to keep up with coming kits
You sure got some nice kits in the last year
I few I would be happy to have in my stach to

Martin Oostrom
Most of them were bought on Dutch eBay. To prevent more purchases I deleted the app from my phone 😁
No more temptation!

Jv
Lol not sure that would help me much
Just got another 8 models today

Bozzer
Mate, I noticed that you have the AMT Allied Van Lines kit? I'd love a scan of those decals, before you get around to using them.

bughunter
Martin, have you ordered also a new cabinet? Many of the new kits will merge into huge models so I guess you will need a lot of space for the finished ones.

Bozzer
Bughunter, I believe that he's ordered a barn, from IKEA! 😉

bossy122
Now I don't feel so bad about my purchases this year. : )

Bozzer
I'll hop on this ride. It's a kit, on my list.

Goldman
Great progress. The engine does look good

Bozzer
Sorry to hear about your tanks, Ken. I've heard nothing but bad news, about Rustoleum clear. Thankfully, we don't have it over here, but I've had the same thing happen, with a cheap clear, I once used. Basically, it was too hot, for the paint. This kit reminds me very much of my Hideout Truck, but the frame is longer on mine. I did enjoy the build though, despite it being a bit of work. Keep going mate, you're doing an awesome job! Remember to test fit all the plumbing, before you commit to glue? It's a lot of fingers and thumbs! Just find that easiest way for you and use the directions as a guide, not the bible. 👍

Holger Kranich
Something new from our Neuling! Superb, the canvas on the smaller car looks very nice and i love the smoking guy lying around!

Daniel Klink
Awesome Neuling.. Your Dios are absolutely inspiring and a joy to watch 👍

Olivier
Nice story told here !

Tom Ballhoff
Cool! Very cool!

Ingo F
Another masterpiece! 👍

Neuling
Thank you mates for your interest and appreciation!

Chris
Amazing! Great build. And the pictures are really cool.

Andreas Koziol
wie immer sehr geil geworden. 👍 ich habe allerdings keine ahnung wie du das zeitlich hin bekommst!? 😄

Bob Hall
You Sir are Rembrandt in 1/35 scale ! Amazing Work !

Daniel Klink
I fully agree with Robert... 👍 nice words well chosen

Jiri Janik
Simply amazing...

Thomas K.
Wieder super; nur finde ich den rost auf den Kotflügel etwas heftig 😉

Rui S
Dont know how i missed this wonderful dio. Very well done 👍. Nice photos too8)

Björn Svedberg
Brilliant build, and photography! It looks real! 👍

Spanjaard
excellent and fantastic pictures too 🙂

Jos Jansen
Nice dio and great pictures...!

Arne Greve
Again a very good Diorama. But in one picture you´ve the wrong backround. Cologne in the back with a french street sign in the front. ;-D

Olivier
Well the sign says 30 km à l'heure. Clearly not German but French. So is it really Cologne ? Cologne was pretty much in ruin at that time. Could it be Strasbourg ?

Neuling
Thank you mates! I`m glad you watched my pictures! --- Andreas if I really were "Miniature Rembrandt" (as Robert kindly suggests) I would say the hands in my manufacture built the dios, while I myself added only a few final brush strokes. In fact I am only "Miniature Neuling" and have to make all the builds with my own hands and eyes. As I am rather a slowhand it all takes its time. That`s why not all of my albums show new builds. The album "Road accident" is my latest build indeed, finished 2 weeks ago. The previously shown albums "Winter games 1944" and "After the storm" were built more than 20 years ago. I have written exact dates in the project description. --- Olivier solved the riddle: As always I photographed the diorama in my garden, overlooking my hometown of Regensburg. What you actually see on the picture is the Gothic Regensburg cathedral which is a little smaller than the Cologne cathedral. The Regensburg cathedral is a copy of the famous French cathedrals. So I imagined the story of my dio taking place near a French city with a Gothic church in the fall of 1944. Arne and Olivier I appreciate your attentive watching of and thinking about my work.

Arne Greve
Really Regensburg?! Didn't know that there is such a big Cathedral.

Neuling
Come and see Arne! We are UNESCO world heritage!

Andreas Koziol
Hehe, good to know you are no time-wizzard!😉

Arne Greve
@Neuling My birthtown has the Michaelischurch as UNESCO World Heritage. Google it, if you want to know which City.

Neuling
Hallo Arne it`s Hildesheim! Den Fotos nach zu schließen eine sehr schöne Kirchenanlage.

Arne Greve
Yep, Hildesheim. Es gibt da die Michaeliskirche, die Andreaskirche und den Dom. Alles sehr schöne Kirchen.

Christian W
Wirklich gut in Szene gesetzt. Respekt.

gorby
I missed this one.
Brilliant job and stunning photos!

Neuling
Thank you Christian and gorbygould!

Nigel
Lovely dio...particularly #6! 👍

Neuling
Thanks Nigel!

Chris Greathouse
I wish I had the skills and patience to make this kind of work, truly amazing! Great job Neuling!

Neuling
Chris you shure have the skills (as your builds show) and patience is not required indulging in a passion! And - important for me - there is life outside the box: sports, reading, music and travel. A good combination is listening to the radio while working on a build.

Spanjaard
Amen to all of that 🙂

Dominik Weitzer
Tolle Szene, ausgesprochen gute Bilder! Super gemacht

Neuling
Thanks Dominik!

Paul Juliano
Wow, this is amazing.

Anthony Flanagan
Fantastic dio and camera work! Love it.

Neuling
Thanx Paul and Anthony, much appreciated!

Tim Heimer
Nice Dio!

Neuling
Thank you Tim!

Anthony D'Agostino
Almost looks like the tragic crash (there are no accidents) that took the life of General Patton. You are obviously skilled, I for one, would love to see that scene memorialized in scale. What do you guys think?

Cheers,

Anthony

Paul Juliano
Sounds like you found your next project Anthony!

Mirko Römer
What a salvo of stunning dios! Fabulous!

Michal Hawryluk
Awesome!

Neuling
Thanks Anthony, Mirko and Michal! Paul is right: Reenacting Patton`s deadly crash would be an appropriate project for Anthony. My little story tells of a British animal rights activist avoiding the sheep crossing the street and hitting the telegraph pole. Fortunately he survives and suffers only a commotio cerebri enabling him to smoke his cigaret while his American comrades take care of his car.

Mirko Römer
🙂

Anthony D'Agostino
Now that's funny, thanks for that! ????

Munkyslut
Bloody hell I'm blown away by that! The 'sunshine' pix are just astoundingly good, excellent work 😉

Neuling
Thank you, Munkyslut!

Neuling
Not a new build, just better pictures with my new camera

Michael Kohl
As all your other stuff, I like that one too. 🙂

Lebloge
All the details are evident, the light is superb...
great new device 👍🏻

gorby
Remarkably realistic!

Zbynek Honzik
Excellent dio and fantastic photos! 👏👏👏

Laliscale
Very nice dio! Nice details and i love the grass work. How was the Mirror model?Some of them are nightmare...

Hemingway
WOW! Inspiring me to try more dioramas!

J35J
Excellent work! Congrats 👍🏻

Gary Curling
Great diorama,and photos,well done.Whats next?

Desert Marlin
Reminds me of a scene from the movie "Battle of the Bulge" (Richard Widmark).

Neuling
Many thanks, mates! Glad you like my album. - Laliscale, the wrecker was not a fun build. The plastic material was of inferior quality and did not get hard after being glued together. I reinforced the chassis and suspension with an additional structure drilling holes and sticking in small metal rods. It worked. As long as it´s invisible I don´t care much about it. Main thing is: The model looks realistic. - Gary, right now I´m working on a Hemtt wrecker. Slow, slow, slow. - Desert Marlin, I really should see this movie again.

Mockingbird
fantastic work, looks like real scene👍🏻

Neuling
Thanks a lot, Mockingbird, also for the kind likes!

Guy Rump
Great dio and modelling as usual! 👍

Neuling
Thank you, Guy, much appreciated!

Neil
Brilliant as always! 👍👏

Dominik D.
great

J35J
Impressive, your kits & dios are top work!👍🏻

Bohrmann
Fantastic work of art. I browse through the photos here, marveling at the many details and the way they are worked out. This is an album I will be looking at more often.

Neuling
Thank you, mates! Really much appreciated!

Pietro De Angelis
Fantastic dio, as always and beautiful photos, congrats!

Desert Marlin
Tremendous amount of history implied in this work! Cheers!

Neuling
Thanks a lot Pietro and Desert Marlin. Praise from top modellers. 🙂

Dave Flitton
Another case of drunk driving!!

Bartłomiej Rusiecki
Wow!

Neuling
Thanks mates! - Dave, this guy tried to avoid the sheep crossing the street and hit the pole. Animal rights movement ............ probably no alcohol involved . 🙂

Dave Flitton
That's what he claimed anyway 🙂

CaptGPF
Another Neuling special! I don't know how you keep making these gems - but don't stop!

Neuling
Dave, the sheep has testified for the driver 🙂 - CaptGPF, this diorama is an older one, only the photos are new. Thank you!

Findus
Super Diorama, perfekte Alterung und Fotos

Neuling
Danke, Findus! Dein Lob freut mich.

Rafael Gonzalez
Wow Neuling, that's a beautiful scene mate, I love it 👌🏽

Neuling
Thanks a lot Rafael, also for the many kind likes!

Stephen Lesley
You know, I have been racking my brain trying to figure out who your models remind me of and it occurred to me- Francois Verlinden. The style of weathering, the posing, and the subdued light of your outdoor shots all point to him at his best. So many of your models remind me of an Italeri catalogue from the late seventies, when he did all the photos. I remember as a teenager marveling at the realistic appearance of the models and settings. Always get a nice feeling looking at your albums.

Neuling
Stephan, you are right. Verlinden's publications and products brought me from toyland to modelworld. A pity, his stuff was pretty expensive, so I tried to scratchbild as much as possible. And I did not stop learning, from scalemates for example chipping.

Mark Sherwood
Another diorama, to peruse. Love the the detail work on the figures, but the canvas on the Tilly' 👌 Spot on mate. 🤘🥸👍

Neuling
Thank you, Mark!

Kim Branders
Didn't see this one, missed it but nice work Neuling.

coporado
Second Kim, somehow missed this one. Intersting subject, very nicely crafted and great presentation!

TH SCALE MODELS (Thomas Haberl)
That is art! I have to take a first row seat here and see the progress. Very impressive 👍

Spanjaard
certainly not going to miss thus master class

Dave Flitton
Wow, watching!!

Skyhiker
Right on!

Greg Baker
Oh, sign me up. I'd watch F_IV do the laundry.

Robert Podkoński
I will follow this talent show with pleasure.

gorby
Lovely work.

Michael Kohl
Surely another build that will leave me speechless and striving to come closer to this level.

William Adair
Omg thanks everyone. You guys are the best! I'm interested to see how this one comes out. I'll add more progress soon. 🤞

Ludvík Kružík
I like old planes from the early days of aviation. Your scrathbuild is fantastic. I admire how you can render all the little details in this scale. I wish you continued success in building this model and look forward to the sequel.

Bruce Huxtable
Your talents are beyond my comprehension.... Totally amazing scratch building 🙂 This little gem is already gorgeous🙂

Shar Dipree
Great work so far! 👍👍👍👍

bughunter
Another great little bird in that microscopic scale 👍

William Adair
Added a new pic. Starting on the cockpit details 👌

Bruce Huxtable
More micro-perfection. Astonishing 🙂

Michael Kohl
By the way: will your book be available in Telford in November?

William Adair
Hi Michael, I'm not sure. It should be out by then but I don't know if any sellers will be stocking it. I live in Australia unfortunately, so Telford is well outside my maximum range 😢

William Adair
Added the large control wheel to the pilot's cockpit from soldered wire and heat curved sprue. I like the little brass hub in the middle 🙂

Skyhiker
You seem to have really good control over your soldering. What tools do you have? That control wheel is impressive.

gorby
The many years training to be a jeweler probably helps. 😄

William Adair
@Skyhiker I have an inexpensive soldering iron from an electronics store. It is nothing special, but the best thing I have is liquid soldering flux. Using that allows the solder to grab the surface and stick without requiring too much heat or flooding the area with solder.

@gorby Being a jeweller helped at first. But now I am finding that the modelmaking is helping me be a better jeweller! 👍

Alec K
Outstanding work! The book is on order 👍

William Adair
Wow, thank you Alec! Hopefully it will be in your mailbox soon 🙏
I added a few more pics. Test fitting the undercarriage and one of the prototype wheels.

Christian Bruer
Outstanding craftsmanship. I really like your tiny scratch built projects 👍

Michael Kohl
Me too.
But obviously he doesn't show how he did the wheels to prevent us from fainting. 😉

Skyhiker
I just don't get how its possible. Really man, you need to get a life or something. This shit is just way too good!

Mr D
Wow, what scale👌, l struggle to build a 1:72 without breaking of a tail wheel or antenna 🤣.
Really nice n interesting subject 👍👍

Skyhiker
Where do you get your blueprints?

William Adair
@Michael Kohl, I made an album about the wheel back in January, showing the stages of construction. Spoked wheel test, 1/144 | Album by F_IV
@Skyhiker, Windsock Datafiles provide the best drawings. I also use the 3-view drawings from the Wingnut Wings kit for some areas.

Zbynek Honzik
A masterpiece is being created here!!! Scratchbuild at this scale and this quality! Unbelievable! Bravo! 👏👏👏

bughunter
Great progress 👍
I have a kit in 1:48, but your build looks much better and has more details!

William Adair
Thank you, it's slowly coming along. Adding more details now that the main components are painted. It's always my favourite part of a build. 🙂

Mr D
Great " Little" project this one, brilliant work 👍👍

Ludvík Kružík
That's beyond me. How can you make such perfect little things in this mini scale? You have my great admiration. 👍

Alec K
Same here! Paint looks superb 👍

Łukasz Gliński
Can't agree more w/Ludvik, my Eyeballs Mk.I woudln't allow that. What Mark are you using? 😉

William Adair
Lol, my eyesight is rubbish these days. I'm using +6 reader glasses from ebay to compensate 😉
Added a picture of the new seatbelts, made from .1mm wire and painted cigarette paper. 👍🏿

Alec K
Wow, those seatbelts! My copy of your book is finally shipping, can't wait. And I empathize with your eyesight woes: i am +3 on glasses plus +2 on optivisor 😢

Bruce Huxtable
Beyond astonishing! If ever I need a Brain Surgeon....

William Adair
Added the surface texture to the cowling using a sharp Pearl-grey pencil and an aqueous satin clear coat to seal it 👍

Roland Sachsenhofer
Boah! This is the best thing I've seen so far - thank you for this pleasure! I will definitely follow it.

Michael Kohl
Surface textures as this are rarly seen done convincingly. Yours is an excellent one.

Robert Podkoński
You're a wizard, William... this is all far beyond my sight abilities, not only my skills...

Ludvík Kružík
Phenomenal project! What you are doing here in this mini scale is amazing. 👍 You don't see this kind of detail work too often even on larger models.
I suppose giving fleas horseshoes isn't a challenge for you. 😉

Alec K
Excellent progress. I have finally received, and am about halfway through reading, William's excellent book. To those interested in how he does what you see in this album, I can wholeheartedly recommend it. I am certainly planning to incorporate many of his techniques into my own scratchbuilt projects. How he does what he does in 1:144 scale is still a mystery to me (although the book supplies hints 😉), but they are applicable across any scale really. Well done!

fonthill.media/en-us..H8pwXYRicTk5zfkw0RWx

Ben M
Good to see this one come up again. The "giraffe" finish on the metal nose is perfect.

Spanjaard
Here you have the link, without tracking part.... fonthill.media/colle..roducts/ww1-in-scale

Christian Bruer
This is such an amazing work. I much admire you skills doing such a crips and fine work in scale onefourfour 👍

William Adair
Thanks guys for the very kind words. It's been a huge challenge but it is slowly getting there!
@Alec, I'm so happy that you are enjoying the book. I just got my copy the other day too 🙂

Mr D
The scalpel blade really shows the scale, be no good for my chunky hands, l stick to 144 to my small scale 🤣🤣
Good quality for it's size., No reason to run out of room Building at this scale 👌😁👍

Greg Baker
I always blink twice when I see William's builds... tiny little beauties! As a 1/144 scale fan, they warm my heart.

Zbynek Honzik
I just keep looking fascinated at the next procedure and say BRAVO! 👏👏👏
This defies the normal laws of physics...

Matthew A
My copy of your book just arrived. Wow! One question - where do you get your two foot long matchsticks from? 😋

William Adair
Lol, right across the road from Giant Coin World 😛
Hoping to be ready to start the rigging in a few more weeks (if all goes well). Added a new header pic, showing where it started, versus where it is now .

Erik Off
Speechless.
How do you hold/fix such tiny parts to work on them?
Wow, just wow. Oo

Michael Kohl
Truly amazing.

William Adair
Hi Erik, cheers! Sometimes I just use a tiny dab of water to hold parts while I am test fitting them or getting ready to glue. The capillary action holds the parts while I'm swapping hands from tweezers to glue. Since I started doing that, I've spent 75% less time on the floor looking for lost parts. Other times I make a simple holding jig from scrap plastic to align parts. It saves a ton of time and frustration.

Mike Szwarc
Amazing tiny work! Beautiful!!

Alexander Grivonev
Work of art

Pepe
😳😳😳😳

Bruce Huxtable
Pure jewelry 😍

Mr D
Been an inspiration and learning experience watching.
I like the odd 1:144 but this is next level X2 🤣
Great well done 👍👍

Rui S
Excellent 👍

Spanjaard
breathtaking, wow....

Bernhard Schrock
No longer „just model making" but model building art! Chapeau!

Shar Dipree
Great! 👍
