    Motorcycles from Povazska Bystrica (Slovakia)

    The motorcycle below should be produced again. It is beautiful. I had a Jawa Velorex sidecar for over 10 years. I traded it for a 1973 Toyota Celica. I loved that Celica, but I loved the Jawa Sidecar more. It was built really strong, but was very light. Great thread! :)

    A-Wing

    The instrument panel looks good, like Rhaven said, print those parts out twice, cut out the holes, and place the whole piece behind with a plastic film, that will give you a 3D cockpit instrument cluster. You know, only people who make masterful builds like this get recommendations. This is...

    The Vintage HO collector.

    In Danbury Connecticut, abut 10 miles from me, is an incredible antique train museum. It's open to the public, and for a small fee, you can walk all over the place and go into all the cars. It's really awesome, and known for it's return visitors. I always though they should get a couple of...

    Temple Petra

    I was shocked to see how big the room behind the doors is. It's like the size of a Gymnasium! Great model, put in a deep picture frame. it would really look nice on a wall. It's amazing that their still digging rare objects from the past buried all around that area.:)

    A-Wing

    I always have liked the "A-Wing", it looks like if you placed weights just in front of the center of gravity, it would glide, launched by a rubber band. One of the few Star Wars ships that looks functional. I only refer to atmospheric ships, as in space, shape isn't that important (depending...

    MODEL OF MERIT: AT ST RoTJ diorama build

    The foliage around the walker really adds some depth to the whole diorama. Great job! :)

    Moonbus

    Excellent job. The workmanship, because you fit, cut to fit, measured thrice, cut once. Your model looks way better than UHU's attempt. You have every right to be very proud of your build. I do share some joy though, because you've displayed it here!! :)

    The Eiffel Project

    As ever, your way ahead of me. The Crazy Glue covered with paint, and the strength of cutting out the black panels (which forces the stress to travel in the right direction, and actually stiffens the model), will make this model rigid, with just the right amount of elastomeric flexibility...

    The Eiffel Project

    Most people, (well, a lot of people) build this model and don't cut out the dark spots. You have gone the tough road. I would offer one suggestion, when you finish a delicate section, do something to keep out the moisture. I saw one of these done, and rather well, it 2 years, despite being in...

    'Skid-Fizz' or to be precise Sd-Kfz 250/3 GREIF

    This model is going to teach you a lot. Your foundation is great. ;)

    I don't know if I'm doing this right but I'm done with I400 Submarine

    Good start. If you do a ship, or sub, again, always start the former's from the ends, it is easier to fit the center former's to size. Always put a thin sheet of paper on the former edge, to avoid the "skeleton effect" Another tip is to always do former pieces as pairs on opposite sides, this...

    Racing cars

    The model came out great. As far as the tires go, they came out well too. To get a more realistic tread, using notebook, thin paper for the treads, and using some strips. When you apply the pain, or whatever you use, the tires will look much better. However, this is just an observation on...
