    Der der der, diddle-er diddle-er, der der der

    So for my third model I thought I'd do something completely different from the house models I'd built so far and this certainly was, barely a straight line on the whole thing. Learning curve, meet deep end, deep end this is learning curve. Hadn't intended to do two of them, but I was struggling...

    Der der der, diddle-er diddle-er, der der der

    No-one would have believed, in the last years of the 19th century, that human affairs were being watched from the timeless worlds of space. No one could have dreamed that we were being scrutinized as someone with a microscope studies creatures that swarm and multiply in a drop of water. Few men...

    Lighting on Models

    I now have visions of a model of the Amityville Horror house with flashing red lights inside that plays 'Walking in a Winter Wonderland'. sign1

    Lighting on Models

    I bought a few of these for Halloween, I think I'll take one apart and have a look see. So long as the battery hatch is on the bottom along with the on-off switch then that's easy to present through a hole in the base. Certainly got me thinking. Annoyingly my first two models would have...

    GPM USS Missouri BB63

    It's an incredible piece of work Padre and even given its larger size the level of detail is eye watering. Reading through your other threads I'm wondering where you're going to put this beauty! When you say you've been working on it for months, given your prodigious build rate were you...

    Lighting on Models

    Thanks for the replies folks, the pound shop battery tea lights were something that occured to me, but I like the idea of the battery box thing as well. I think I'll have a wander down to my local Maplins and see what they have and as suggested I'll post up some WIP to ask some advice.

    Lighting on Models

    I am keen to add lighting on some of the models I'm building, I'm just wondering how folks are going about this. On the internet I've found various ways to light doll houses from the mains and I've seen the strings of led lights that run off the battery but nothing inbetween. I guess the...

    Lord Of The Rings Sword under construction

    Wow hats off, that looks fantastic. It was definitely worth the effort to put the hole in the hilt, otherwise you'd always be looking at it wishing you'd put the hole in.

    A bit late for Halloween but....

    Thanks folks, really appreciate the feedback. When you're building you see things you're not happy with and would've prefered to have done better, but each one, I suppose, is a learning point for the next model.

    Ghost house

    Great work on the houses, I've got a few of the Ravenblight ones in my ever growing build list. Thing is I'll probably need a bigger 'real' house to keep them all in!

    A bit late for Halloween but....

    Thanks McGee, it's only been since building these two and reading a little more around the Amityville murders and subsequent events that I've noticed how many houses in the States are made with wooden sidings. I believe these two are in the Dutch colonial style (though I am happy to be...

    A bit late for Halloween but....

    My first two models,both from Ray Klein's Haunted Dimension site: http://www.haunteddimensions.raykeim.com/index660.html And http://www.haunteddimensions.raykeim.com/index324.html Neither was easy for a first timer but I enjoyed the journey as much as the destination. On a build note...
