O, Legends and Myths.

SS Valiant model done. Just need to figure out how to structure it internally to fit together as a kit.

Found the pics that I used for my ERTL Thomas conversion. This one was made by modeller Ronald Pointer and it was fitted with RC so that it could travel on other people's garden railways. I wonder what became of the model since these photos.

Fuck is wrong with him

'The Mutations of Time' Red Dalek my beloved. A pleasure to provide the main Dalek model for this, its surprisingly been ages since I've done a proper 1960s era render!

So this was something I didn't expect from my dog, May. She actually LOVES miniature train rides. When I had my portable tracks set up to give my niece and nephew a ride with Puffa, May wanted to have a go too. And so this clip from 2022, shows her happily having a train ride for the first time.

He nails it.

The Valiant model changes a bit from its black and white premier in the Chronology (1993) to its color shot in the Encyclopedia 3rd ed (1999). The nacelle struts change their angle, for one thing. The bridge head that is missing in the 2018 auction pictures is already gone in the Encyclopedia shot.

they should make a game for people who love to mine and also craft and also groom kids

For some reason, I am in a TOS mood, so for some reason, here's some TOS stuff. #startrek #startrekprop #prop #propreplica #propmaker #propmakers #propmakersofInstagram #scifi #startrekcollector #startrekcollection #space #allstartrek #startrekuniverse #starfleet #startrektos

Sternbach's blueprints

Sussing out the innards of the SS Valiant and finessing its proportions. Its guts are made up of spheres. There's a line of 3 large ones in the center with a chain of 5 smaller ones on either side. The small spheres next each large one line up on their axis. Other small spheres fill in the gaps.

Dorsal lighting. 3mm COB LED strip 3000k temp.

An important point to keep in mind.

BEHOLD Duncan V3.5, he’s a plain blunt engine Now with correct slidebar, crosshead and eccentrics ;) The shell, new cylinders and water cap pieces are by @westcliffworkshops.bsky.social who I HIGHLY recommend buying this kit from and browsing the rest of their range ;) More dets below —>

Once I get my garden railway up and running agin, I must see about getting this little chap up and running too. My custom gauge 1 Thomas. Made from an ERTL RC toy and mounted on a PIKO motor block. I might give it an upgrade later on as I feel as if it could use some improvements.

OUT NOW! Right here: www.ebay.co.uk/itm/35657522... Our brand new resin body kit, the Peckett "Cranmore" Class of 0-4-0ST locomotives. This kit is designed to fit the wonderful Bachmann NG7 Quarry Hunslet chassis (not included). #modelrailway #resinprinting #modeltrains #narrowgauge

Held up at the crossing gates by... Thomas the tank engine. Beep beep I am Bertie T Bus. 🚌 🚂

So, I've been playing around with 009, and by playing I mean going to town on this Meridian Models Talyllyn kit. It's running on a modified N-drive chassis and was certainly a fun project from start to finish. A nice little diversion that totally won't lead to more 009 antics...

I don't shoot over green because I'm never satisfied with the results of the key. Plus spill issues.

B-WIng cockpit update! Got the canopy hinge working and animated. I also played around with the seat materials - it's now got rips and tears with some stuffing pluffing out.

Looking back on the HRA Awards last week, thank you all so much for the kind messages of support. To even be shortlisted is such an honour, but I couldn't do it without my rock @keirathesleepymage.bsky.social ❤️ 📸 Jack Boskett

The bridge section of the SS Valiant is not an easy face to capture. I think I'm good on the details, but still have some of the proportions to work out.

dusting off more Star Trek Infinite illustrations! these were some of the first ones I worked on. the Klingon event was a collaboration with Albert Cordero, who designed the key art for STO's Unveiled! it really is a pleasure to keep working with such an amazing team. ♡ #StarTrek

I stand with the trans community. Pass it along.

Here is the finished blueprint page of the WIP 3d model I posted earlier. Relatively straightforward item to reverse engineer. Just slowly getting back into working on the Galaxy Project blueprints.
