bandwevil @bandwevil.bsky.social · 13/10/2026Thanks! It's just a piece of printer paper, rolled up and covered in PVA glue so that it holds its shape. If you manipulate it while it's wet you can pretty easily get some nice folds and textures. 110
bandwevil @bandwevil.bsky.social · 13/10/2026Calling the Staghound done. #HistScaleModels #FinishedKits 3624
bandwevil @bandwevil.bsky.social · 03/10/2026Yeah, I think every build I do hits that point sometime. 140
bandwevil @bandwevil.bsky.social · 30/09/2026Haven't been good about taking WIP photos, but the Staghound is moving along. Built & painted a street base and did a rough painting pass on the figures. #histscalemodels 0232
bandwevil @bandwevil.bsky.social · 18/09/2026Decided I want to do a simple diorama for the Staghound, so I printed another crewman and a civilian woman. Sketched out basic ideas for a brick road and sidewalk. #histscalemodels 0262
bandwevil @bandwevil.bsky.social · 15/09/2026Staghound base painting and decals done. Tried to keep the colors somewhat varied so that it doesn't get too monotone after weathering. #histscalemodels 1382
bandwevil @bandwevil.bsky.social · 05/09/2026Stowage for the Staghound, some scratch-built crates and 3D printed ammo cans. Also printed out this crewman figure I found. Should be about ready to start on painting. #histscalemodels 0221
bandwevil @bandwevil.bsky.social · 31/08/2026Thanks! Yeah, I imagine the backblast alone would've been pretty wild. 020
bandwevil @bandwevil.bsky.social · 31/08/2026I don't think the rocket mounting setup included in the kit ever existed, so I had to do some scratch building to match what was actually built. #histscalemodels 1292
bandwevil @bandwevil.bsky.social · 24/08/2026Staghound basic assembly and some cast texturing finished. #histscalemodels 0383
bandwevil @bandwevil.bsky.social · 18/08/2026It's on her alt channel: www.youtube.com/watch?v=TyOm...youtube.comI AM Sorry I Read "I'm Glad My Mom Died"YouTube video by Rebecca Versus Life 100
bandwevil @bandwevil.bsky.social · 15/08/2026Seems like the actual plastic is nice so far, assembly is just a bit of a puzzle. 020
bandwevil @bandwevil.bsky.social · 15/08/2026Back to #histscalemodels with this Staghound I've had sitting around for a while. Looks nice, but it's got to have some of the worst instructions. 6231
bandwevil @bandwevil.bsky.social · 11/08/2026Finished up painting on the Fulcrum kitbash. #scalemodels 0191
bandwevil @bandwevil.bsky.social · 27/06/2026Thank you! I had a lot of fun finding bits to cram in there. 010
bandwevil @bandwevil.bsky.social · 27/06/2026A bit burnt out on the G.3, decided to try something new to me, a kitbashed spaceship. This was 3D printed off a design by @sublightdrive.bsky.social then covered with styrene sheet and a bunch of greeblies. #scalemodels 1475
bandwevil @bandwevil.bsky.social · 06/06/2026Stitching the upper wing together with 0.1mm wire. Also going to have to figure out a bigger photo backdrop, my current setup isn't going to fit this thing's wingspan. #histscalemodels #bastillebuild 3182
bandwevil @bandwevil.bsky.social · 31/05/2026One issue I have with the G.3 kit is they decided to mold the strut tapes as significantly raised details, when in reality the tape has basically no visible thickness. I think it will be best to sand them all off and paint them on later. #histscalemodels 0181
bandwevil @bandwevil.bsky.social · 29/05/2026Thanks! Wood painting is pretty straightforward for me, but the leather took a bit of work before I was happy with it. 010
bandwevil @bandwevil.bsky.social · 29/05/2026Caudron G.3 progress, cockpit interior is pretty much done and ready to be closed up. #BastilleBuild #histscalemodels 6475
bandwevil @bandwevil.bsky.social · 16/05/2026Started on #BastilleBuild, cockpit parts ready for painting. Wasn't a fan of the kit's front seat look so I chopped it off, designed & printed a replacement. Not sure if I like the bare version or the cushion more, I'll paint them both and decide later. #histscalemodels 0241
bandwevil @bandwevil.bsky.social · 10/05/2026Thanks! That's just how it goes on that site sometimes, you don't pick up enough votes at the start and it just doesn't get pushed out to people. 110
bandwevil @bandwevil.bsky.social · 10/05/2026Finished up the Tamiya Pak 38. A very nice little kit, lots of detail parts that are unfortunately difficult to show off once it's glued down onto a base. #histscalemodels 3383
bandwevil @bandwevil.bsky.social · 03/05/2026PaK 38 progress, basic painting done. Figure painting is not a strong suit of mine, but I'm happy enough with these. #histscalemodels 0222
bandwevil @bandwevil.bsky.social · 02/05/2026Yeah, the rigging can be a bit daunting, but using elastic line it shouldn't be too bad. 010
bandwevil @bandwevil.bsky.social · 02/05/2026Yeah, the manual is very nicely laid out. Probably more than half of it is devoted just to rigging diagrams. 020
bandwevil @bandwevil.bsky.social · 02/05/2026Not actually starting on #BastilleBuild yet as I have a PaK 38 to finish up first, but I did unbox all the sprues. Gonna be a big build, 1/48 Camel for scale. #histscalemodels 3321
bandwevil @bandwevil.bsky.social · 26/04/2026Thanks, it's Infini Model rigging. It's the 1/72 version because that's what I already had, so maybe a bit under scaled but I don't think it's too far off. 110
bandwevil @bandwevil.bsky.social · 25/04/2026Finished up the Eduard Camel. Didn't intend for this to take up the better part of 4 months to build, but I'm happy with how it ended up. #histscalemodels 5526
bandwevil @bandwevil.bsky.social · 05/04/2026Yeah, it's a weird design that I can't imagine was easy to manufacture. 010
bandwevil @bandwevil.bsky.social · 05/04/2026Procrastinating on working on the Camel rigging, decided to throw together this Tamiya Pak 38. #histscalemodels 1222
bandwevil @bandwevil.bsky.social · 02/04/2026Details about Dragon's are sparse, but it's visible in the upper right of this image. Not exactly private, but I guess there's at least a curtain. 011
bandwevil @bandwevil.bsky.social · 09/03/2026Struts attached, the Camel's finally looking like a plane. Now on to rigging her up. #HistScaleModels 1495
bandwevil @bandwevil.bsky.social · 03/03/2026Thanks! It's a mix of Vallejo light brown and white, not sure on the ratio because I tend to mix until it feels right, but it's probably in the realm of 3 parts white to 1 part brown. 010
bandwevil @bandwevil.bsky.social · 03/03/2026Started the oil weathering on the Camel, really brings out the detail Eduard put into this kit. #HistScaleModels 2442
bandwevil @bandwevil.bsky.social · 25/02/2026Looks good to me! The big advantage of oils is the flexibility, you can let them dry a bit and decide if you want the effect to be more pronounced/subtle, or even strip the entire thing and redo it. 120
bandwevil @bandwevil.bsky.social · 24/02/2026Thanks! Nothing secret about it, it's an oil paint technique that you can find a bunch of tutorials for such as this one: www.youtube.com/watch?v=P6R8...youtube.comPainting Woodgrain with Oil Paint | the Ultimate Guide.YouTube video by LPJ Models 154
bandwevil @bandwevil.bsky.social · 23/02/2026Yeah, it's not a terrible look, it's just not really what I'm going for with this build. 000
bandwevil @bandwevil.bsky.social · 23/02/2026Tried peeling the Eduard decal film for the first time, started off okay but got a lot of torn bits along the rib taping. Shouldn't be difficult to touch up those spots though, and I think the final look is worth it. Also printed out my own decal for the tail fin. #HistScaleModels 2240
bandwevil @bandwevil.bsky.social · 20/02/2026Finally finished up painting on the Camel. Now on to dealing with Eduard decals. #HistScaleModels 0281
bandwevil @bandwevil.bsky.social · 11/02/2026Wood grain on, I always find it a fun effect to paint. #HistScaleModels 5362
bandwevil @bandwevil.bsky.social · 08/02/2026Got some paint down on the Camel. Used the bare linen mix on the wood areas as well, to serve as a base for wood grain effects. #histscalemodels 0231
bandwevil @bandwevil.bsky.social · 08/02/2026I made one from an electric fly swatter years ago, the handle looks extremely similar to the link you posted so I'm guessing it's basically the same thing. Works well for me. 000
bandwevil @bandwevil.bsky.social · 05/02/2026Cool, recently picked up this CSM kit. Might be a struggle for me to finish it in time, we'll see though. 030
bandwevil @bandwevil.bsky.social · 02/02/2026Clerget engine for the Eduard Camel, before and after painting. Replaced the pushrods with wire, plastic ones hid most of the cylinder from view. #histscalemodels 0162
