Hello, 

Call me FerrousBueller here I suppose. I'm a trained and certified blacksmith, leathersmith, sculptor and foundryman. I've done set and props for various big companies ranging from the one with the mouse to the one one ... who is also now with the mouse I suppose. I don't do that kind of stuff professionally anymore though and enjoy making cool things for the sake of making cool things now. 

I am old school when it comes to props, costumes and set construction but just got a Bambu P1S and admit it changed the way I make things significantly. Pair that with learning Blender and oh my. 

I should also mention I'm flighty as heck so forgive me if I don't always notice replies and disappear for months at a time

I sold this work three years ago, so I don't have it in my hand anymore

Printing parts should be finished tomorrow morning. I went heavy on supports, and cured them before removing the supports. This generally keeps the parts from warping too much. The test fit below is immediately after I removed supports. No filing or sanding had happened, and they fit QUITE WELL!!

Currently debating kitbashing the engine nacelles, but I just cracked a L’Egg container I was going to use   so maybe not I guess…? I’m also short a couple unique parts I never did collect in my current kit stash.

Hello from New Zealand. Hoping to use this site to help me on my studio scale Journey of a 5ft Falcon.

Hi everyone just wanted to say hello and i look forward to exploring this site

1/32 Phantom kits come with one of two types of "turkey feathers" (the ring of exhaust cone petals): short or long. Some X-wings used the long variant, but I'm doing Red 2 and therefore need the short variant. 

Here's what the long ones look like:

   

Here's the short ones:

   

Hello everyone.

I'm on the hunt for a Bandai 1/24 Panther G. I need a second full kit for my build. These used to pop up on eBay often enough but now I haven't seen one in a few months.

So if anyone has one in their stash they'd be willing to part with, please shoot me a message.

thanks
David

Hello hello hello

Now why I didn't find this forum any sooner, will be forever a mystery to me .... but oh well .. better late than never I guess

KrokoHunter aka Niels aka Third member of the Backstreet Boys singing trio from the Nerf Herders   

Danish Studio Scale and Prop builder .. more Studio Scale - Less Prop these days .... and I also dabble in a bit of Figure Painting and Scifi Model kits here and there.


My main areas for builds are Star Wars (Star Wars also being my dayjob as Design Manager in the LEGO Star Wars Team), Battlestar Galactica, Alien ... and would love to do some Trek at some point.


I've been in the community for +15 years ..... but not really finished a tremendous amount of projects ..... I tend to spend too much on researching and dreaming of new projects .... and less time on actually finishing projects .... would hope to change that in the near future  ... one can always dream, right

I bought a part-started Belfast for extra cheap before I knew 1) that I needed this part; 2) it is one of the first parts to be used in the kit's build instruction. So I thought I was getting a deal, but this part had already been gummed up and over-sanded  

It's part #4, I believe:

   

See my inventory:
My TIE kits are here.
My X-Wing kits are here.

Going to start this guy today. It’s 1/48 and my first resin model. I printed it on my Elegoo Saturn 12K. 

Any advice for getting crips lines on the black parts of the wings? I see some paint the blue then mask and paint the black and I’ve seen some that paint the black, mask, and then paint the blue. Is one way better than the other?
