@jctv.bsky.socialDay 5A: Lara (80min)
I bought a resin + UV torch kit.
Primarily to join the neck and head seamlessly, but I also wanted to attempt to hide some layer lines on her face (more detail to follow in thread).
Pic 1 is just after resin applied; pic 2 is after some more prep.
@jydmodelsfordyang.bsky.socialThe translucent envelope defines this 1:500 PUBLIC BUILDINGS model: a layered skin that lets colored interior volumes show through without losing the massing. At this scale, opacity and glow are fabrication decisions. Which layer would you inspect first? #ArchitecturalModel #ModelMaking
@origamiorganelles.bsky.socialOur Rat Sissection paper model is very popular! Double the learning by making the parts then putting them together. Find out more here: buff.ly/BP7iIkc

@robertcadena.bsky.socialCooking up a witchy stew. I need to let the stew dry :p
@jctv.bsky.socialDay 4: Lara (60min)
Yesterday I finished my first pass of prep, enough to confirm the model fits together (see picture).
Today I started my second pass of prep. Focussing on finer details.

@jctv.bsky.socialDay 2: Lara (60min)
Still prepping. Focussing on big picture stuff: cleaning joints, removing support artefacts.
I can already tell the 3 way join between hair, head and neck pieces is going to be the most challenging part of this assembly 😩
@origamiorganelles.bsky.socialMaking our Simple Cellular Respiration paper model is a great way to introduce central concepts in biology, like why we eat, breathe and excrete. Find out more here: buff.ly/vwHqb00
@cascadestarships.bsky.socialSpent some time this weekend finally finishing up the 1/2500 scale Allies and Adversaries set by #PolarLights. All that remained was the Keldon and Defiant!
Yes, they're all to scale.
Bonus picture of the AMT 1/720 kit to get a 2x2 post.
@origamiorganelles.bsky.socialOur paper model of a #hurricane shows how they happen on the outside & inside! Find out more here: buff.ly/3q9TeTH
@origamiorganelles.bsky.socialTeach #transcription with our paper model! Your students will be surprised at how fun it is to make a model & how easy it is to learn the content. Get them to make video to help with revision later! Find out more here: buff.ly/qICMY00
@jydmodelsfordyang.bsky.socialAt MAD Chongqing Cuntan Port, the stepped roofline does the heavy lifting: each terrace keeps the waterfront sequence readable while pale planes preserve the overall sweep. Which edge would you inspect first? #ArchitecturalModel #ModelMaking
@origamiorganelles.bsky.socialOur Respiratory System paper model shows how the diaphragm works too! Also includes a model of an alveoli. Find out more here: buff.ly/6MNTrFi
@ralphmurre.bsky.socialScratch-Built/Scrap-Built ~
A few examples of things I've been building in 1/48 scale from cannibalized broken toys, bits of electronics, mat board, watch bands, paper, paper clips, plastic, wood, aluminum, steel, etc., etc.

@cascadestarships.bsky.socialJoining the warp nacelles to the pylons taking advantage of density induced buoyancy to ensure perfect alignment as highly advanced self hardening material makes the connection permanent.
...I used glue and a bubble.
@origamiorganelles.bsky.socialOur Anatomy Bundle is very popular with teachers! It includes templates & powerpoints for 7 models at a discounted price! Find out more here: buff.ly/sQ2cQ2j

@mightylancergames.bsky.socialFour years ago I made a video about Sophie's Revenge, a large model ship that was waiting to be painted. Then someone commented on that old video asking whatever happened?
See how she looks now youtu.be/80M_60c0u4Y

@cascadestarships.bsky.socialA test of the animated bussard effect for the 1/1400 Enterprise D.
The video is dark to make the RGB lighting effect closer to how it appears in person.
Animation may change, the main goal was to get proper hot-spots similar to how it was seen in the show.
@rhonawhitefeather.bsky.socialI recently finished building the massive Revell 1/48 scale B-1B Lancer. It was a challenge, but I'm pleased with the results.

@gavhuds.bsky.socialMy dad makes these fairy houses with bits of wood that he finds, which gave me an opportunity to practice some long exposures again.
