Bar some tweaking and possibly adding some smoke, Christmas build is done. Operation Dynamo is a success! Rather good fun this one. #histscalemodels #diorama #scratchbuild #ipms #beaconmodels #plasticmodelling

X-Wing painting stage pretty much done. Next, weathering mounting and wiring up to the base. #histscalemodels #ipms #bandai #plasticmodelling #scratchbuilding #xwing #starwars #rogueone

Wiring run for the engines sussed. Hooray for tiny SMDs! #histscalemodels #ipms #plasticmodelling #starwars #bandai #xwing

Pulled this one out of the stash.. I blame @cesairebdc.bsky.social

Next build underway. This time going a bit further back in time…. Sussing out the wiring runs for the engine lighting tonight. #histscalemodels #ipms #plasticmodelling #starwars #bandai #xwing

3 out of 6 is a start. Now head scratching and fault finding! #histscalemodels #ipms #bandai #plasticmodelling #scratchbuilding #xwing #starwars #rogueone #florywashes

After nearly 2 years of building, researching, scratchbuilding and swearing (on and off) the Jeep is finally done. So far, it’s my Magnum Opus, I look forward to simpler builds for a while! #histscalemodels #takom #plasticmodelling #ipms #takom #willisjeep #scratchbuilding

For the curious, the wiring run for the X wing engines. It’s pretty straightforward, let me know if you need any tips . #plasticmodelling #bandai #starwars #xwing #histscalemodels #ipms

Throttle cable, oil can and horn added! #takom #plasticmodelling #ipms #takom #willisjeep #scratchbuilding

Some work on the rectifier and the battery wire up tonight. #plasticmodelling #ipms #takom #jeep

Other than a battery strap and a couple of bits of padding for the headlight cables, the engine bay is done. Geeks: shout if I have missed anything (I can fix that!) but not if anything is wrong (I can’t fix that!) nearly done! #takom #plasticmodelling #ipms #takom #willisjeep #scratchbuilding

From shiny vinyl to crusty bottom… I had to transform that plasticky ‘rock’ base from my Nautilus model.

So I spent a messy hour with matte varnish, matte paints, ground coffee, talcum powder and model railway ballast. I’ve buggered up a brush but it was worth it 🤓

Tiny tiny bloody wires! I’m sure they here is an easier way… but I will carry on sweating this one out! #histscalemodels #ipms #bandai #plasticmodelling #scratchbuilding #xwing #starwars #rogueone #florywashes

Future me is going to be so annoyed at my decision to build this before painting it, in opposition to how I usually do these things, but I just really needed to glue an aircraft today.
