mattskillmodels.bsky.social @mattskillmodels.bsky.social · 30/08/2026Evening all. I've gone back to the 1/24 lancia to try and get through the final stage. The seatbelts were very testing but I'm happy with them, just. All good fun 🙄 4242
mattskillmodels.bsky.social @mattskillmodels.bsky.social · 09/08/2026Update on the lancia delta. All 4 wheels are on and suspension working well. Still need to do the seatbelts but onto the bodywork now. 4365
mattskillmodels.bsky.social @mattskillmodels.bsky.social · 02/08/2026Good evening all. I'm having great fun with the lancia, for an italeri kit it has been going together well. The engine is now installed, just the front suspension to go then onto the bodywork. 5345
mattskillmodels.bsky.social @mattskillmodels.bsky.social · 25/07/2026We finally have working rear suspension on the lancia 3241
mattskillmodels.bsky.social @mattskillmodels.bsky.social · 17/07/2026To drill or not to drill, that is the question 🤔 3100
mattskillmodels.bsky.social @mattskillmodels.bsky.social · 16/07/2026Evening all. That's the interior finished, onto the underneath next. I'm going to do the seatbelts before the roll cafe goes on, just a damn sight easier. 4321
mattskillmodels.bsky.social @mattskillmodels.bsky.social · 12/07/2026WIP on the lancia and the interior is slowly coming together, still a little bit to do before moving to the exterior. The seat belts will be fun 😬 2252
mattskillmodels.bsky.social @mattskillmodels.bsky.social · 03/07/2026I think I've found a nice paint for the aluminium, sprays really nice. 4313
mattskillmodels.bsky.social @mattskillmodels.bsky.social · 27/06/2026I've parked the williams FW07 in the garage for the time being. I need to finish the mclarens but I've bitten the bullet and driven the lancia delta onto the bench but discovered that I need a bigger bench 🤣🤣 6282
mattskillmodels.bsky.social @mattskillmodels.bsky.social · 23/06/2026Despite the heat the williams FW07 is coming along. First time spraying aluminium which turned out ok. I had a decals sheet turn up from China, fingers crossed they'll go down without too much trouble. 3281
mattskillmodels.bsky.social @mattskillmodels.bsky.social · 18/06/2026After not buying any kits at the show on Sunday I have caved and bought this kit off evilbay. 3211
mattskillmodels.bsky.social @mattskillmodels.bsky.social · 15/06/2026Well, that's the williams fw07 engine pretty much done, just need to tidy up the exhausts once the glue has hardened. The 'good year' on the tyres is painted on, so that will be fun to do. 3231
mattskillmodels.bsky.social @mattskillmodels.bsky.social · 13/06/2026Before I break something else off or leave more fingerprints in the still hardening gloss, I'm calling the Tamiya Ferrari F189 done, finally. A nice kit with a nice amount of detail throughout. 8326
mattskillmodels.bsky.social @mattskillmodels.bsky.social · 07/06/2026Whilst waiting for the Ferrari F189 gloss to harden I've started the williams FW07, yet another tamiya kit from 1980 with no issues. 4241
mattskillmodels.bsky.social @mattskillmodels.bsky.social · 07/06/2026Afternoon all. I've finally smoothed the finish and lost the edges of the thick tamiya decals. Just need to let it harden off then I can finish it ready for the club show next Sunday 🤞 5222
mattskillmodels.bsky.social @mattskillmodels.bsky.social · 24/05/2026A nice afternoon listening to jammy spurs avoiding relegation again. On the plus side I've got the decals down on one of the mp4/4s. This has got to be one of the most iconic liveries in F1. Still have the rear wing and other bits to do but couldn't resist decalling. 7343
mattskillmodels.bsky.social @mattskillmodels.bsky.social · 24/05/2026Afternoon all, despite the heat I have managed to get the main bodywork sprayed, a bit of touching up needed on one but other than that all good 4191
mattskillmodels.bsky.social @mattskillmodels.bsky.social · 21/05/2026Evening all. The mclaren mp4/4s are coming along slowly. Wheels on tonight, just the seats to then onto the fun part. 4253
mattskillmodels.bsky.social @mattskillmodels.bsky.social · 17/05/2026Snagged myself a decent bargain on evilbay last night. Another kit from my teen model making past that I'll hopefully do a better job on. 7211
mattskillmodels.bsky.social @mattskillmodels.bsky.social · 15/05/2026I'm going back into car building and these mclaren MP4/4s are first to be finished before a fresh kit rolls onto the bench. 3323
mattskillmodels.bsky.social @mattskillmodels.bsky.social · 14/05/2026Calling the tamiya 1/48 jagdtiger done for now, nice factory fresh finish. It might get weathered at some point. 4413

mattskillmodels.bsky.social @mattskillmodels.bsky.social · 10/05/2026Calling the camo scheme done on the jagdtiger, might have gone a bit mad with the dots but am I bothered lol. Decals and tools to do then it's pretty much done. 7415
mattskillmodels.bsky.social @mattskillmodels.bsky.social · 02/05/2026Evening all, another figure finished. This is afro samurai and i definitely wouldn't mess with him. 4234
mattskillmodels.bsky.social @mattskillmodels.bsky.social · 26/04/2026Evening all. The witches are taking another breather 😂 I've got the afro samurai underway now. I've decided to go 'kill bill' with the trousers due to the stripes. So far so good on this enjoyable figure. 1132
mattskillmodels.bsky.social @mattskillmodels.bsky.social · 22/04/2026Evening all. I'm back on the 3 witches on a broom vignette. Nearly finished the back witches and the cat hanging on for dear life. 1121
mattskillmodels.bsky.social @mattskillmodels.bsky.social · 12/04/2026Another bust finished and off the bench. Gimli's angry cousin and his little peacemaker. 3173
mattskillmodels.bsky.social @mattskillmodels.bsky.social · 11/04/2026Calling the Japanese sword lady done now. Another enjoyable bust to do with a few lessons learnt. 5241
mattskillmodels.bsky.social @mattskillmodels.bsky.social · 06/04/2026Well, that was a fun evenings painting with some pleasing results. 4424
mattskillmodels.bsky.social @mattskillmodels.bsky.social · 05/04/2026Another bust on the bench as military is taking a backseat at the moment. A few different textures again and still a challenge ahead with this one 4163
mattskillmodels.bsky.social @mattskillmodels.bsky.social · 21/03/2026Evening all, Calling this lovely lady done now. It has been a nice bust to do with various different textures, metal, feathers, skin and dragon. 6331
mattskillmodels.bsky.social @mattskillmodels.bsky.social · 14/03/2026I've been winging it the last few days and it has been a fun bust so far. 2161
mattskillmodels.bsky.social @mattskillmodels.bsky.social · 02/03/2026I'm actually going to try and finish a kit this month, I've got 3 ready for paint but the mojo went down the hill. This is the kit that I'm hoping will kick start the mojo and get finished 3171
mattskillmodels.bsky.social @mattskillmodels.bsky.social · 25/02/2026Some lovely detailed work from Rich 190
mattskillmodels.bsky.social @mattskillmodels.bsky.social · 16/02/2026Evening all, a quick razor crest update. The engines are done and a bit of detail has been added here and there. Not sure what else I want to do to it other than guns at the front and glass for the cockpit. Happy modelling all 5777
mattskillmodels.bsky.social @mattskillmodels.bsky.social · 08/02/2026Evening all, long time away but still been busy. I've been having some fun with masking sheets. This is the revell razor crest 1/72 with a slightly different scheme. 8343
mattskillmodels.bsky.social @mattskillmodels.bsky.social · 04/12/2025That's the chassis, engine and suspension done barring a few odds and sods. Around about 200 parts and no major fit issues at all. 4242
mattskillmodels.bsky.social @mattskillmodels.bsky.social · 30/11/2025Evening all. The cars are being put in the garage for the winter so time for something different. I'm going with the thunder scammell pioneer in 1/35. Very similar to miniart in quality, detail and amount of parts, so far I'm upto 140 😬 2171
mattskillmodels.bsky.social @mattskillmodels.bsky.social · 24/11/2025Good morning all. The bismarck has been recycled due to sapping the enjoyment and mojo. Onto plastic and parc ferme is filling up with 2 Mclaren MP4/4, typical tamiya kit with a nice amount of detail, in need of new decals but other than that all is good and straight OOB build. 3613
mattskillmodels.bsky.social @mattskillmodels.bsky.social · 19/10/2025Bismarck update, lower level is nearly done barring a load of little bits to add for depth. It seems to be going together fairly well so far, the fun is still there plus plenty of dry fitting just like plastic kits. 5213
mattskillmodels.bsky.social @mattskillmodels.bsky.social · 12/10/2025I've finally committed to joining the 2 halves together, no going back now 😬 it seems to be sitting nice and flat which is a bonus 😀 1192
mattskillmodels.bsky.social @mattskillmodels.bsky.social · 08/10/2025I've been gifted this paper model of the bismarck, the scale is 1/250 and if I actually finish it it will be just over a metre long 😬 so far so good and I'm actually enjoying it, something very different. The back half is sort of done. 5221

mattskillmodels.bsky.social @mattskillmodels.bsky.social · 30/09/2025Evening all. WIP on the Ferrari F189. It's getting closer to the last ten laps now thankfully. Most of the decals are on and after splitting the first one I took it steady with the rest, they are from 1989 after all. Still debating whether to go with nige or an empty cockpit. 3293

mattskillmodels.bsky.social @mattskillmodels.bsky.social · 21/09/2025Next to hit the bench is the tamiya Ferrari F189. I got so far with it back when I was a teen and hopefully I will finish it this time. As with tamiya, it goes together perfectly. 3273
mattskillmodels.bsky.social @mattskillmodels.bsky.social · 14/09/2025Well, after a week of decal application I have finally got to the finish line with the kawasaki thingy bike. It was a typical tamiya kit which was a nice change from the italeri triumph. The decals went down fairly well with a good soaking of set and sol. All in all it has turned out OK. 6334
mattskillmodels.bsky.social @mattskillmodels.bsky.social · 11/09/2025A weeks worth of decalling and still a couple of days to go to make sure everything is down as well as can be. 3161
