This is a custom Hearts of Steel : Optimus Prime, built by Griffith of monolith productions, painted by me. Its about 300 parts. This was one of the most difficult paint jobs ever for me, I had to use special resin adhering paints for the base coats. From there, I coated with lacquers and detailed with Testors Model Master enamels.

Basic kit is Aoshima Nissan Terrano R3M, converted to 2 doors. Custom setting suspension to fit larger tyres. This kit was brought from Japan by My Brother, so I have to build it. Since I already have two Terrano kits, then this one should be different. Finished in Mica Blue (TS-50) with Light Gun Metal Grey (TS-42) with Gaia EX Clear Coat. Interior finished in Gray/ Brown. Scratch build front winch, bull bars, over fenders and rear air deflector. Wheel from Fujimi Suzuki Samurai kit, tyres from Aoshima Hilux Surf Wide.

My first attempt at scratch building...
A small scale Enterprise (to be built to the spec. of the low res model as seen in The Original Series).
The model is built from stuff found around the home.
To build your own- All you need is:
Thre to Four Pringles lids (preferably flat),
Two identical sized pens,
A plastic coat hangar.
Some plastic sprue (from any Airfix kit),
A large oversized pen
An array of plastic bottle lids (some sawn off at top for the shape of the saucer section).
A plastic satellite dish (from Lego might suffice).
four plastic beads sawn in half (in differing sizes for front or rear of warp nacelles).
You might need a large amount of model filler as well.
Completed model will be completed in 2022, hopefully.
The 1/285th scale USS Wasp scratchbuild project. Today some of the interior pieces were assembled and installed. Much detailing remains to be done
Lego is the only way to go with casting work. It fits together tightly, is easy to disassemble, and can be built to almost any dimension.
I need some decently sized Adeptus Mechanicus symbols for a terrain project I'm working on. The problem? No one makes the damn things any more. So, the only solution is to make my own.
I'm building the base model out of balsa wood and other stuff I have lying around the place, then I'll take a mould off it and make as many as I need! Theoretically :)
This is how the stage portion of my 2016 Draconic entry was returned to me (the other piece survived and is all that remains now).
Along with the broken tresses, stress had been placed upon the wiring setup which caused the yellow LEDs to stop working. The missing shade/lens from the one spotlight was never found or recovered.
I was in the vicinity when the model was damaged -- I saw who did it and how. Neither that individual nor anyone associated with the competition said anything and initially disavowed knowledge that it had been damaged. When I asked about taking the model to attempt a repair or verify that the lights still functioned before judging, the organizers said there was lack of time or workspace (there was a full day before judging and I had dedicated space on-site to work but took their advisement as official).
In the final scoring sheet, Judge 4 said, "I wish that you had brought the batteries so we could have seen how the lights work." I had, and I tried a couple of times to make that available to them.
A simple apology from ANYONE would have made the situation better.
Too hot to go out and railfan, and the Staples Sub is likely lifeless today anyway. Headed to the basement instead.
The apparatus for protecting employees working on top of covered hoppers from falling has been installed.
Partially scratchbuild Fire Brushtruck based on a 1:18 MAISTO Hummer. Beside the front end up to the drivers cabine, the entire rear section is handmade by me. The Fire truck is an almost 100% replica of the brush units former used by the Los Angeles Fire Department (LAFD).
Since this model was made for somebody else, who wanted to apply his own decals, this truck has no markings on.

model kit 1/48 Academy.
No aftermarket products, scratchbuilding details.
Acrilic colours and Alclaad.
I've been planning this in my head for a month, so I based the construction on observations made in the "real world".
I finally sat down and cobbled this together with styrene materials that I had available and using prototype (14' x 48') dimensions as reference. It's not as spindly as the prototypes appear to be, but this first attempt is acceptable.
The next step is a shot of brown paint, some weathering and custom images....
