Building custom sci-fi models and synthesizers if I’m awake (and not at work)
Scratch-built a few rustic crates for the truck I’ve been working on, as well as the side armor. Lots of drilling….
It was really fun, but kind of exhausting. I’m switching gears back to something a little looser, so I can recharge a bit.

I’m finally getting back to this after about a year off. This came together pretty quickly in a couple bursts of inspiration, then stalled. Now I’m refining things and adding more fine detail.

Going to try to vacuum-form the hood tonight over this. I added some threaded inserts to the underside so I can attach a handle to aid in removing, after.
There were originally more details like louvers etc, but I think they would have been too soft, so I’ll add them later.

I’ve got a direction for the color scheme and can’t wait to start painting.

I’ve started building one of the trucks from Sorcerer (‘77). I’m using this Tamiya cargo truck as the base. It’s all wrong, but I think I can get it close enough. It’s going to be more about vibe than accuracy. It’s a long way away, but I think painting and weathering this will be a blast.

This was the genesis of the hover racer model that I started last year.

Before I got into model making, my main obsession was synth building. I hit it pretty hard for a while, but eventually burnt out. I’ve been slowly getting back into it recently.
