That's great work, lovely subtle weathering

Thank you

Thanks and ha ha, yes, that's just a reflection of random stuff in my workshop. I only put this one in so people could see the model more generally but the reflective visor means only the shots with a single spotlight look right.

Thanks very much Most kind, thank you Thank you, it took quite a bit of work

Sorry, I've linked them from somewhere else now, should all be working.

Here are the items I 3d printed

Here is my go at the venerable Revell ⅛ Apollo Astronaut on the Moon. Some of the sculpting is lovely but the fit of most parts requires a lot of work. I used the kit decals plus aftermarket decals from New Ware and I made my own decal for the plaque on the LEM leg. The hoses are electrical wire of various thicknesses wrapped in foil. The gold visor is a Christmas bauble following many failed attempts to vac form one. I 3d printed the hose connectors (mostly from Thingiverse) and made a new ladder with flag case, switches etc for the chest unit and the connector between the LEM leg and the foot. Images are with a single spot like the Sun and then more general illumination.

I usually build space stuff and aircraft but I wanted to do something Ukrainian so here is my quick build of the Skif 1/35th T-64BV. Equipment and markings are an amalgam of real vehicles and models on Britmodeller. Not up to the standard of most of the great stuff on here but I'm quite pleased with it.

Beautiful work Andy, well done.

Thank you SleeperService

That's looking great, well done

Most kind, thank you. Thank you. Honestly, those AE-35 units are useless.

Finally got the images working. The sphere was pretty hard, I used XTC-3D and lots of filler and re-craved lots of detail. If was doing it again I would be tempted to adjust the model to take off the raised panels, print and smooth that and then add the panels back with plasticard.

Excellent work. I did one from the same printing files a while ago. About 1.7m long. I don't seem to able to link in any images at present.
