    Welding?

    I'm thinking of making a diorama that will include someone arc welding. I'm wondering how to do the arc welding effect? I'm guessing it would be a VERY aggressive OSL effect in brilliant whit/blue tinge and with very sharpe shadows? I'm also guessing that the arc light would simply wash out the...

    Buildings

    Some of you may have seen the individual threads I have posted in the Work in progress logs for my Laser Cut Styrene Building Kits. As I now have a small number of these kits either in production or in prototype form, I decided it was worth putting up a group shot and pimping it here. Voting...

    Laser Cut Buildings - Painting and Finishing Guide.

    Whilst at Salute 2010 I was asked a number of times about the paint job I had used on the Pryn-Gul Tower. I've always thought of myself as a competent painter rather than a good one or a professional, so I was quite flattered. Spurred on by this and subsequent comments on the pictures of the...
