Progress until today. The pillars are ready now also. Next step is to do the finish weathering, on the workbench, before it can be finally fasten on the layout.
Fujimi Suzuki Vitara Rally Version
Custom setting suspension.
Bridgestone Dueler MT tyres from Aoshima.
OZ Wheels from Tamiya Lancer Evo VI WRC.
Custom Roll Cage
Recaro seats from Tamiya Lancer EVO VI WRC.
Scratch build rally computer
Scratch build front skid plate
Scratch build mud flaps
Finished in White (X-2) with Clear Acrylic.
Work in progress.. I'm surprised AMT/ERTL hasn't produced one of these. This is based on the "Dukes of Hazzard" CJ5 (which is incorrectly labeled as a CJ-7 on the box).
The top is going to be scratchbuilt using the clear plastic soft-top included in the kit, with styrene. I'm not sure yet what truck bed I will use or if I will just completely scratchbuild a new one. Obviously the chassis will be stretched properly. Should be interesting either way.
I started this a month ago or so (October 2006), its got a ways to go, but getting there. I was shooting for 1/35 scale to match most of my other models/projects. One of my objectives for the next one I build is to wire some small red LEDs that glow and fade like in the SW movies. Seen here primed in gray.
Scratchbuilt hoverbike, made from household junk and white DAS clay. 1/20 scale, kind of Maschinen Kreiger.

The final iteration 😀!
Lego Star Wars Space Tug with Barge and Payload
After presenting you first my Space Tug inspired by a scratchbuild by Adam Alpern aka @monsterpartywars, and my Front Loader, this is the final MOC with Barge and Payload!
As always, my MOCs cannot be small 😭, so one thing lead to another, and I ended up adding the Lego UCS AT-AT as payload.
The whole ship is made by the SoroSuub Corporation from Sullust. Again, this one is fictitious and non Canon.
Go and check out Adam's designs here on Flickr or on Instagram. His models in 1:144 scale are amazing!

BTW - I just noticed, these 102 studs qualifies it to be part of SHIPtember 🎉, so I will be adding this to the group in a minute.
Wishing you all a great weekend 👍!
Imagine yourself in a hotel room. You have investigated the entire internet. It took 15 years but you did it. Now how will you pass the evening? How about getting out the tool kit and cutting up some coffee stirrers and plastic signs?
Maschinen Kreiger inspired scratchbuilt ship made from various "junk" and DAS clay. Undercoated with automotive grey primer with a UK berlin "style" camo applied using sponged on emulsion tester pot paint, weathered with artists water colours, emulsion paints and physical wear to expose the undercoat
A little more progress on the Gills Landing bridge. The bents are all finished but not in place. I am now making the fenders that were on both the upstream and downstream sides of the bridge. I need to decide how to supply track power to the swing span if I want it to open and close, then I will lay the track, guard rails, and bridge tenders walkway.

The top is going to be scratchbuilt using the clear plastic soft-top included in the kit, with styrene. I'm not sure yet what truck bed I will use or if I will just completely scratchbuild a new one. Obviously the chassis will be stretched properly. Should be interesting either way.
Second coat of paint. Tamiya colors used: Flat Earth, Olive Drab, Khaki Drab, and Flat White (to lighten color).

Filled and sanded the scribed line and added very thin stretched sprue instead. Extremely fiddly and I think it may be a bit messy at the top, the stupid yellow plastic makes it very hard to see.
Similar to the Road Warrior (Interceptor) rollcage, roughly based on replica photos, by the way. The major difference is that the Holden XB (clearly, not a Mustang) in the movies was right hand drive. I didn't feel like chopping up the dashboard.

Fujimi Suzuki Escudo Lowride. Changed the wheel to Aoshima 19" ABC Glanzen. Change the front seat from Aoshima Rocket Bunny Toyota 86. Change the steering wheel. Scratch build roof rack. Add muffler tip detail. Add scratch build antena in front right. Finished in Candy Lime Green (TS-52) with Grey/Buff interior. Custom setting suspension. Figure from Fujimi driver set with custom clothing.
I have been working this time to create a more multi-dimensional diorama for my figures. Since I am making this one for MiniMates, a lot of the pieces are smaller than I have been building in the 6 inch scale. Since I started the window frames, I have moved onto the stairs. I wanted this particular house to have a set of curved stairs to a landing and then a second set of stairs up to the front door. I think it is a cool architectural touch, and a potential for some fun photography in the future...if I ever get this thing built. I have since added the side railing, which is drying in the garage.

A Ma.K display of kits and my scratchbuilds at Dornoch this October. The Jabberwocks legs in the background behind the Wespe.
I made the roof out of a sign, and the steel walls out of Reynolds heavy duty aluminum foil. Glued to a piece of 4" PVC. Got ahold of some little dies that make the foil corrugated. Still need to work on this technique and paint the roof, install ladders, etc.
I needed a building with unusual dimensions to fit a strange spot on my layout, so I scratch built a modern highrise using plexiglass, styrene, foam core and other details. Check out my blog for more detail on this:

1/20 Ma.k style scratch build using a set of cheap (£1) bicycle mudguards, 2 spice jar lids and a yakult bottle. Painted with rattle cans over plasticine masking and weathered with diluted emulsion and water colour washes.
