This short slideshow is for all the models I built, and finished, in 2020. After a few fits and starts, I'm finally back to building scale models on a regular basis. I'd like to think I could build even more in 2021, but we all know about the best laid plans ...

No diffusion or anything, just the assembly sitting on top of an RGB LED.

A short little clip showing my progress for painting the Bride of Frankenstein's face. A 1/6 vinyl model from Horizon. I'm using Abteilung 502 oils. I don't paint faces, but oils make it pretty easy and fun!

Just an update on things. Future has been discontinued? HLIFX boards. Photon-S mods and other stuff. And I forgot to mention I'm DMing a D&D campaign, LOL. WARNING: Waffling ahead, because waffles are delicious!

The slideshow presents my buildup of the 1/6 Bride of Frankenstein. It's an old (1988) polyvinyl model from Horizon. I built it for the Hobby Link International Halloween Group Build for 2020.
I used Stynylrez primers for the gown, Apple Barrel craft acrylics for the bandages, and a combination of Vallejo acrylics and Abteilung 502 oils for the face and hair. I had a lot of fun painting this kit.

In this preview video, I talk about an upcoming build for a Hobby Link International Star Wars Group Build. A Kit-bash of an MPC TIE Interceptor, with parts from an AMT Dual TIE kit to make it more accurate.
This is what I'm calling my first actual YouTube video!

A very short clip showing a circuit a I made. It uses a PNP transistor to amplify a flickering tea candle LED so it can drive many more LEDs, or even LED tape. More info below.

In Part 2 of the TIE Interceptor Kitbash, I cover cockpit painting and assembly, main hull priming, pre-shading, main assembly and the base. Lots of good stuff!
This kitbash is part of a Hobby Link International Star Wars Group Build running until May 2, 2022:

This is my build of the AMT/Round2 Klingon Bird of Prey. Painted with Vallejo acrylics, weathering with an Apple Barrel rusty wash and Tamiya Weathering Powders. Clear coats were done with rattle cans of Krylon. The lighting is completely custom, which I designed and installed.
A github of the Arduino code, schematics and pcb files for the control circuit can be found here:
