This update starts on a more positive note, as I managed to patch the paint where I had sanded through before. I am leaving it as it is in the photo's for now, simply because I don't have the courage to

I started gluing on other bits like the lights and also started on the decals. Right from the start it was doomed, I broke the decals for the windshield before I even managed to get it off the decal sheet.

The dash and other miscellaneous items were done and glued in. Engine and suspension glued in, with the wheels on. Test fitting the body. At this point I was very excited, it was starting to look like

I started this thread with the intention of posting updates often. Unfortunately work and after hours freelancing has eaten up my time, so I plug away at the mini in what spare time I can muster. This

Here is another model I started a while back. This is a build of the Mini that won the Monte Carlo rally in 1967. The weather here was so cold and wet I did not have a chance to go outside and spray anything,

Here is a kit I started on not too long ago. It's not really something I would normally get excited about, but it was cheap (for Portugal) and I had seen a video on doing up wire wheels that I wanted to

I say 'interpretation' of a Camaro, because I sanded away so much detail that its not really true to form anymore. I started with a 3d model that I downloaded from Thingiverse, scaled it to be roughly

At least things are still being made by hand. I wonder if the artisans of yore are the "makers" of today. I can make almost anything with an Arduino or a Pi. Don't give me wood though, I'm likely

What you are looking at is the outcome of over a year's work. Not really a years worth of work, as it was packed away for a few months, but I have finished it, FINALLY! Over a year ago, I bought myself

A while back my 3d printer dug it's nozzle into the heated bed. Since that it has not printed the same, so I ordered new nozzles in the hope that I could get it back to printing like it did when I bought

Well this has been an experience as well as an education! On one hand I proved to myself that I could get a table made, with minimal tools, on our balcony, on the other hand I learnt that not having a

It stands, on it's own. Look ma, no clamps! 😄 Seeing as I got carried away, again and neglected to take photo's as I progressed, here are some photo's of the nearly completed table. At this point I have

Progress is being made! Here you see the results of an afternoons work, the table top has been fixed to the base I made, then planed with a hand plane, and cut down to the size I wanted, plus, I cut notches

One of the ways I justified making a table to my wife was that I could make it cheaper! Or is that how I convinced myself... meh, whatever. Now I can count, knowing full well that I would have to buy tools

I enjoy making stuff. I think it is the creative process of having something in your mind, then taking action and bit by bit, seeing it come to life. As a teenager I shied away from wood, as it was to

A new project? Why is my poor Nissan Micra being abused with these looong lengths of wood? Who on earth would transport anything this long in such a small car? What could I have planned for this? You will

Little details like spark plug wires add a great deal of visual impact to a model. Here I show you an unlikely source of wires that you can use for spark plug wires on your model car build. Many new electronic
