Left field progess

I'm not sure what else to do to this besides the missing headlights and then painting of the pick-axe handle in wood grain and the head in a steel color. To be perfectly honest, the weathering appears to be missing a little something but I'm not sure what. Due to the size, I feel a little out of my element, as well as the fact that it's a desert vehicle so there's no really need for the big swaths of mud and such.

I will give this one a rest for now and go back to other projects that need my attention. For now I think I'm good, perhaps whatever it is that I feel is lacking will hit me over the next week or so. I might want to take this one to AMPS East.

Absolutely fantastic work Ken. I've been drooling all over the keyboard looking at your creations. Very inspiring and wonderfully informative. Off at a slight tangent, but what happened to all your vids on You tube?

Ash,

Thank you for your kind words.

I am in the process of revamping my youtube page, the videos are temporarily unlisted. I will be posting a new video explaining why and linking to all the old videos shortly, things have just been really busy here as I prepare for AMPS East, two day model show.

Thanks,
Ken

Scale Modeling

The childhood hobby that followed me into adulthood. The dream I once had about being published in those dog eared magazines I spent my rainy days thumbing through long realized, I find myself seeking the simplicity of the hobby I once had as a child.

This is my place to do that, my quiet little corner of the web where I can just unwind with my imagination and find oneself as while simultaneously losing oneself. My bench is my escape, from reality and weight of the world with it's drama and deadlines. Adding that aspect into ones hobby can make it that much less enjoyable. Imagine sitting down at your bench and having your boss demand things from you and your annoying coworker chewing his banana with with his mouth open in your ear.

It's a hobby. It's not life. Enjoy it how ever you like, be it out of the box or rivet counting. Don't let anyone tell you any different, and allow them the same leeway in their endeavor. Build how you like, like how you build.
