My latest project at work, a 1/24th scale 60k lb capacity K Loader.
If you don't know what a K Loader is, it's a vehicle that is used for loading large transport aircraft. Here is a photo of what I'm building: www.fas.org/man/dod-101/sys/ac/equip/docs/980213b.jpg

Rivet detal, evergreen cut down plastic rod used. These were sanded down before priming. Handles made from bent wire rod.

A build of the Derek Stenning designed Industria Mechanika kit, "The Duchess". I've modified the kit quite a bit, and scratch built a lot new parts. Painted with a mixture of rattle can paints and acrylic model paint.
Taken many moons ago before the hair went grey and the droid went dusty!

More scratchbuilding in aid of the 633 Squadron Mosquito. The RAF used 4000lb "blockbusters" - thin cased blast bombs - from 1941. The versatile Mosquito proved just big enough (with a bulge to the previously sleek lower fuselage) to hold one. The Mk 1 had a pointy nose with a circular spoiler but the more widely used Mk 3 was just a big dustbin. Both had a cylindrical concrete counterbalance as a tail, but the film-makers removed that and added a cruciform tail with another circular spoiler. Cue the saw and plastic card....

Clean the figure. Primer the figure. Obtain disposable baby wipes, which I air dried, trimmed to size, and then applied to the figure with CA glue. That provided Domingo’s shirt and cape, and his belt and arming harness were scrap costume leather strips.
