    So I'm slowly continuing...I glued the wheels, each wheel consists of 7 parts, I grooved the tread and at least symbolically domed the side of the tire and finally dusted it... I have glued all the units, I have glued the recessed lights and holes on the hood, the cabin is glazed and added nets...

    Thanx ;) Benny-model version Scale: 1:100 Author: Milan Weiner Publisher: ABC 5/2025 As I mentioned, I will try to improve Bohouš a bit in the box version. I cut out all the parts, with windows cut out in the cabin, since there will also be a simple interior, engine ventilation cut out of the...

    My mini models

    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...

    My mini models

    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:

    ModelCon 2025 / 8.2.2025 / Trnava, Slovakia

    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...

    My mini models

    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...

    My mini models

    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...

    My mini models

    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...

    My mini models

    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...
