Thanx ;) Hesitation (PAPER AUTOMATA) Author: Keisuke Saka Source: etsy.com Video: Another automaton by Keisuke Saka, which clearly shows that even with a simple gear, an interesting and funny automaton can be designed. This automaton can be purchased on etsy.com. (pdf: 4 pages with parts...

Thank you, also thanks to your comments and opinions during construction, I managed to assemble the model as you see it in the photos. ;)

Thanks :) So here we have the finale, it's time to finish the last details... hopefully I won't forget anything: -finished snorkel for the front hood -finished wipers and rearview mirrors (I used aluminum foil tape, which mimics a mirror quite well) -finished details for the trunk -cut out all...

Thanks :) I'm slowly approaching the final...I didn't choose sand for the mat this time (like I did with the previous Fiat). Making such a sand base is quite simple - you make tracks in the sand, paint it with yellow paint and use fine sand as a sprinkle, the car settles into the tracks and...

Thanx ;) So after a long time I'm making some progress again...I've basically glued the original cutout together, and I'll be adding more or less my own details later. First I made the protective frames from a plastic profile and I made the front reflectors... ...it currently looks like this:

I'm glad you liked the photos. ;)

Now on Saturday, February 8, 2025, a model exhibition was held in Trnava. After years, I visited Trnava again. There were many plastic and paper models to see, many vendors, workshops for children, club tables... so there was a lot to see... if the event continues, I would like to come and see...

Thanx, I'm glad someone likes my gluing. ;) I closed the cabin, glued the chassis and put the car on its wheels... Now I can start working on the mat in addition to finishing the body details. The Hummer is a relatively large car and on the pad I have prepared for passenger cars will almost...

Thankx, I don't deserve so much praise... my approach to model making is that I try to make each model something unique, so maybe sometimes I'll manage to make a detail that I'm happy with, and if you like it too, it will make me even happier. ;) I did some work on the wheels, which I modified...

I continue with a simple interior and crew. I chose suitable figures that I painted with acrylic paints, the seats are made of thicker cardboard. I added seat belts and the center tunnel that the Hummer has in the cabin. I added a safety frame to the cabin, which I made from plastic...

You chose a nice mini model, I'm keeping my fingers crossed that the model is a success ;)

Thanks, but there are far better modelers...I'm glad that I can sometimes make a model that I'm happy with and maybe other modelers like it too ;)

I put the bodywork together, as I expected it wasn't easy because of the glazing...:bulgeeye: First, I'll go back to retouching. I find it best to retouch when I move the side of the brush perpendicular to the retouched edge. There must be little water on the brush and I must be careful to only...

To tell the truth, the report is holding me back a bit and I partly consider it unnecessary, since I consider it a common procedure that more or less every modeler knows, but maybe it will help someone ;) As for the varnishing issue - I don't think so, since it is a very thin layer... It is a...

So I'm slowly continuing. It's going slower due to my busy schedule, but I have some time so I'll get on with it. I forgot to mention last time that after printing on an inkjet printer, I lightly varnish each page with a clear spray varnish, which fixes the print. I have the parts cut out. Since...

Thanx :) Hummer H1 Dakar Scale : 1:100 Author : FDS model Publisher : www.minimodel.sk (FE4068-free model) The Fiat is finished so I'm slowly starting to work on another car from Dakar. This time it will be the Hummer H1 from the Dakar rally 1999. The car was for sale when a detailed video...

So I'm done...a little recap: Fiat Campagnola Nuova Scale: 1:100 Author: FDS model Publisher: http://www.minimodel.sk (FE4058-free model) A few words about the model: I haven't found much information about this car. The car took part in the Dakar Rally in 1982, the crew was Agostino TOCCI /...

I agree with you, it takes a lot of time, I work on 4 forums (Slovak, Czech, and 2 English) + I have my own website and since the new year I have also added publishing on Facebook... luckily I don't have any deadlines right now, I might show up at a new exhibition in Trnava next month, but I'm...

Thanx ;) I don't do more detailed reports for several reasons: -it takes up time that I could use for the actual gluing -these models are so simple that I consider it unnecessary -and lastly, I'm too lazy to take pictures and write a report about it...:) I can take more detailed photos of the...

...thanks :) In the past I only posted photos of finished models here, maybe some of the photos from the construction will be interesting...;) I don't have much time at the moment, so only a little progress. The car is finally on wheels, I also made a tool box in the back (according to a video...
