Earlier this year a I sent some VW Bug builds to a friend so they could take part in a model display that was 100% Beetles. No trophies or awards, just everyone putting their spin on the same car!

Adding surface texture to weathered projects with glue. I always feel like crusty stuff I do needs more texture for washes to settle in.

The best feeling a model builder can have, giving someone their first model😮‍💨🥹

Homer Simpson sitting on the bonnet of his car, staring at the night sky over a desert landscape.

With the words over it as follows;

'My neighbor came over to get some games I wanted to get rid of.

He brought his kid around too, to see my garage full of model building stuff, because he's a bit of a car-head.

And so I got to give a kid their first model ever model kit.

It was a 1/32 Aoshima Hako because no glue or paint needed.

I feel 50ft tall.'

Did a fun collab with an artist a while ago, I designed and produced some 3d printed wheels in 1:24 scale, added a sprue just like the real injection-cast wheel sets we wanted to replicate too. Full circle😅 Did a sparkly clear blue 'chase' version for yhem as well just for fun.

For a Corvair model build-off a while ago I designed some parts for the engine of mine. Everything except the block and gearbox is 3d printed or detail wire/photoetch. It wasn't until I got to that stage I realized how DERANGED the fanbelt of these engines is. It HAS A 90DEGREE BEND IN IT.

There's a scale model product that is iron paint and an oxidizing agent used to add real rust to your builds. It smells funky but the results are very convincing IMO! The oxidizing agent can be diluted with water for more subtle effects and to add variance too.

Step 1. Apply the iron-paint and let it dry.

Step 2. Apply the oxidizing agent fluid.

Step 3. Let dry and enjoy the real rust effect.

Did a collaboration with an artist where they did the box-art for a set of model car wheels and I designed and printed a few sets (plus the sprue like 'real' sets of wheels to really be extra😅) Had to print a special clear blue set with rainbow glitter of course😎 3d printing is too powerful🤣

When people like Dutton talk about “cultural diversity” or DEI jobs they’re essentially just denigrating non-white people. It’s straight racism and journalists need to call it out. www.theage.com.au/politics/fed...

Dutton says cultural diversity jobs do nothing to help Australians

During an impassioned speech on Friday, Opposition Leader Peter Dutton pledged, if elected, to slash the public sector – and one area in particular.

Nourish your head + heart. Read. Spend time with loved ones. Engage art. Love. Fall in love. Fuck. Laugh. Be moved by the countless moving things. Remind yourself that we are doing this for survival, sure, but we're also fighting back because there are so many beautiful things worth fighting for.
