Ok, I have no idea what I'm doing. I'm just having a bit of fun. I might actually another one since I learned about these things. #gundam #scalemodel

why do all the youtube videos on subject have to have endless prater about this and that instead of getting to the point. It's like a mechanic teacher. Today we're going to learn about starter replacement. But before we do... 1/2

Calling it done. I can't do much more and what i have done, i've gotten glue and paint where it shouldn't be. The Micro Sol had a weird reaction with the hood decal so it looks stained, won't rub out. The PE is off center, to late to fix due to CA glue. #scalemodel

the black on purple looks nice. ALMOST done. then i need a break! HA not.

#round2corp did it again. Almost done with the Challenger and they didn't put the red tail lights in the kit. Technically, I could paint them, but there's 2 big holes they snap into. Not wasting time to try and fill and sand. #repopkits #failedtooling #scalemodel #missingparts

One step closer to being done. I knew this would be difficult, but dayum! All wires and hoses are actual wires and rubber hose. Added a custom ignition coil as well.

Challenger Update. #scalemodel #histscalemodels www.oldmanscuriosities.com/2026/01/70-c...

It’s Saturday! 📺 Post a cartoon TV series you love

Planning to film ICE? Wired has a guide for that: www.wired.com/story/how-to...

Need to start wet sanding and getting the body ready for clear. Decided to do a quick fit just to get an idea. Decals would fully cover the woodgrain dash, so there's no gauges. #scalemodel

First few coats of paint on the Challenger. I'll add a few more before I'm done, then let it dry before sanding and polishing. Pearl Plum with 29% mix of Blood Candy Red.

Colors have been laid. Now to let it dry.

Had some issues with the mr hobby aqueous Gundam paint I bought. Thinned with with Mr Coloring leveling thinner 400. But cleaning it from the air brush was a nightmare. Whats the best item to clean this paint from an airbrush? #scalemodel #histscalemodel

I've said it before, i'll say it again. Not everything needs to be online, connected online or available to connected online. www.404media.co/app-for-quit...

Parts are primed. what comes next is either going to be a disaster or semi decent kit! it's a flip of the coin, a role of the dice. #scalemodel #Gundam

Calling ICE the American Gestapo is correct. What else are these bastards? youtube.com/shorts/mi1dn...

When you're absolutely humdrum & monotonously bored, you step outside your wheelhouse. I've got a good stash, but I really don't want to build another car or tank right now. So what do I go to? This is going to get interesting. www.oldmanscuriosities.com/2026/01/what... #scalemodels

Welcome to America. #americanreich

Oddly, the flak gun was done in the same manner & has a very flat tone. Not sure if I should do a slight wash of all the colors again to try to flatten it out or not. Afraid I will lose some of the shadows. 2 of 2 #scalemodels #histscalemodels

What flat clear do you all use over an oil wash that gives figures a flat look? In the new dio, i did an oil wash over the figures. They are too shiny. I used Tamiya flat clear as well as tries Vallejos Matt Finish. 1 of 2 #histscalemodels #scalemodels

Fuck the American Reich.

New Diorama. "The Dear Johns." Still in finishing stages. www.oldmanscuriosities.com/2026/01/new-... #ScaleModels #HistscaleModels

Tamiya KS600 German Motorcycle. Not much of a write up, but there is something despite the circumstances. #scalemodels #histscalemodels www.oldmanscuriosities.com/2026/01/tami...

Once again 90% 🤜🏻🤛🏾 of my Short Stack infosec lists on Mastodon and BlueSky are activism, tech ethics, and human rights posts and I'm very proud of you all. I just really wish more people got the things you do: - everything is political - nobody is coming to save us - action that matters is hard

Back in the ER because of some really weird chest pains and feelings. Rather play it safe than sorry. And yet I find myself working while waiting for test results .

I need to add their guns and it will be done. This was one tough little cookie. I still haven't gotten better with figure painting. It's supposed to be glazed, but it ain't even close. #scslemodels #histscalemodels

Question for you all. I need to paint the trunks and branches of the trees in the new dio. They're just a basic brown plastic with some semi decent details. This a piece of real tree I used in it as small fallen logs. What colors do you think I need to get close to this? #scalemodles

The figures I ordered came in. They're trumpeter and they SUCK! Going to require a lot of putty and scratching in detail. The AFV ammo cases are going to require a lot of work too. This is going to be a fun build though and it puts the flak gun to use. #histscalemodels #scalemodels

Need to make some more changes. But it's slowly turning out. #scalemodels #histscalemodels

Little more work to do. Touch up painting and weathering. #scalemodel #histscalemodels

1/34 scale tank, bigger than my 1/24 scale auto. Cool beans. 1/35 scale motorcycle, it's a damn micro machine. Paint bottles for my vision of scale. Working on the side car now #scalemodels #histscalemodels

Device check up went good. 2 more weeks of not raising my arm or sleeping on my left side. 3-4 weeks before the body is healed and accepted it. 4 weeks til they consider it fully healed. Can't start exercising for 6 more weeks.

If anyone is interested, here is a video shot by one of the vendors, Squadron Hobbies at the show. You can see my tank at 20 minute mark and you can see my soldier diorama at 58:48. So many amazing builds. Can't wait til next year. #scalemodels #histscalemodels youtu.be/nlPG0xdxAMQ?...

Here's to all of you. Let's make 2026 bigger and better. www.oldmanscuriosities.com/2026/01/here... #scalemodel #histscalemodels

My pick up from today's show. Took silver and bronze with my entries. The ship, plane and Whitman's tiger were given to me by a friend's sister #scalemodel #histscalemodels

Flak gun I did last summer. Just created the base and dio. Might need to do some painting on the trunks of the standing trees. #scalemodel #histscalemodel

Be cruel to your school 'cause you may never get another Be cruel to your school In the name of rock and roll Be cruel to your school Just like a sister or a brother Be cruel to your school In the name of rock and roll #JustBEcause #TwistedSister

Feel like a rugby ball in a no holds barred match between Mack Truck and Peterbilt.

Here we have the #Temu version of the Situation Room Playset at Mar-a-Lago. It also includes a semi large screen TV displaying X feeds. #USPOL #GovtFail #Losers

I need a medically induced coma for 6 weeks. This is fkn torture.

Apparently, he seems to feel the need to recover with me. #catsofmastadon

My Christmas spent in ICU. Full blown heart attack Monday. Pacemaker supposed to happen this Monday. All my model builds are off for awhile. #christmas #scalemodels

Next time I have the idea to do battery cables and terminals, someone slap the idea out of my head. 2 hrs to do these. #scalemodel #histscalemodels

Slowly making progress. Here's the upper radiator hose with clamp. Toothpick for size comparison.. used the bead stoppers as a connector on both ends. And an almost complete motor. #scalemodel #histscalemodels

@eveaebi.bsky.social Frohe Weihnachten. Hoffe, der Familie geht es gut.

Got some work done on the A6M2. Photo etch in the crockpot is done. Everything is primed. Now to continue. #scalemodel #histscalemodel #Aeroplane
