Thunderbird 1 and hangar progress: It's 95% there and so I thought I would show the entire diorama as I'm going to need to come back to it at a later date to complete a few small details... I want to add the signage elements but I'm still awaiting the almighty printer ink... I also want to add some lighting to the villa so you can see inside. I will then take some high quality photos of the piece which will be cool! If you flick though you can see some better shots of the swimming pool and also the battery box I built on the back 😁 This has been amazing to make and add to my childhood memories that I've created. I feel my brain and thought process are often inspired by this series and so this has been important for me to make! #Thunderbird1 #hangar #thunderbirds #aircrafthangar #weathered #rocket #weathering #fullpiece #makersgonnamake #makerscommunity #launchsequence #diomaker #scalemodel #artpassion #selftaughtartist #scratchbuilding #scratchbuiltmodel #scratchbuilder #artist #miniaturist #art #modelmaker #modelmaking #diorama #dioramaart #byhand #thunderbirdsdiorama #isolationcreation #makingartinisolation #gerryanderson https://www.instagram.com/p/B_Fd4uWHjZM/?igshid=13gtn9h3phhci

Views of the Thunderbird 1 hangar including the top section with moving swimming pool - I literally enjoyed building every aspect of this piece 👌#Thunderbird1 #Thunderbird2 #thunderbirds #aircrafthangar #weathered #rocket #handmade #sidebyside #makersgonnamake #makerscommunity #iconic #diomaker #scalemodel #artpassion #selftaughtartist #scratchbuilding #scratchbuiltmodel #scratchbuilder #artist #miniaturist #art #modelmaker #modelmaking #diorama #dioramaart #byhand #thunderbirdsdiorama #isolationcreation #makingartinisolation #gerryanderson

Flying Scotsman Footplate miniature experience (scale 1/20) working on those details! 🤟 It's so awesome tone able to get loads of detail in and rivets are something that is honestly so rewarding to do 👌 Swipe to see how I finally found a use for some things I found ages ago. Anybody get a weird instinct that something will be useful at some point, then suddenly it's the perfect thing you need at a crucial moment. It's like a sixth sense 😂 any how, I hope you're all keeping well in this uncertain times 👍 #theflyingscotsman #steamtrain #firebox #timecapsule #steamlocomotive #hyperrealisticart #flyingscotsman #iconic #makersgonnamake #makerscommunity #originalart #diomaker #scalemodel #artpassion #selftaughtartist #scratchbuilding #scratchbuiltmodel #scratchbuilder #artist #miniaturist #art #modelmaker #modelmaking #diorama #dioramaart #byhand #footplate #isolationcreation #makingartinisolation #railways https://www.instagram.com/p/B_Xau2YHi8U/?igshid=1c1jme8xsfcl0

Thunderbird 1 and hangar: It's 100% there, I've finally been able to put in the LEDs for the Tracy Villa and now you can actually see the portraits on the wall at the back 😁 Using the DSLR to take the shots is do much better than my phone 👌 but for now this is a finished piece... P.s stay tuned for a little something extra I've put together... 😎 #Thunderbird1 #dslrphotography #thunderbirds #aircrafthangar #weathered #rocket #weathering #fullpiece #makersgonnamake #makerscommunity #launchsequence #diomaker #scalemodel #artpassion #selftaughtartist #scratchbuilding #scratchbuiltmodel #scratchbuilder #artist #miniaturist #art #modelmaker #modelmaking #diorama #dioramaart #byhand #thunderbirdsdiorama #isolationcreation #makingartinisolation #gerryandersons https://www.instagram.com/p/B_z4v7tHhAd/?igshid=1kz4um99fczf3

Flying Scotsman miniature footplate bexperience (scale 1/20) The completed piece! I think this is the first piece where I've entered the next era of my artwork. This piece will be going into my Etsy store after lockdown to be able to buy. It's obviously one of a kind so could be perfect for a train enthusiast! If you want to ensure that you can own it before it goes into my Etsy store, message me if you're interested and I can put it to one side for you 👍 I would love to see this piece go to a good home 😁 This is something I felt resinated with me and had meaning and so I'm going to endeavour to include a purpose behind all my art work going forward more like paintings! #theflyingscotsman #steamtrain #weathering #timecapsule #steamlocomotive #hyperrealisticart #flyingscotsman #4472 #makersgonnamake #makerscommunity #originalart #diomaker #scalemodel #perfectgift #selftaughtartist #scratchbuilding #scratchbuiltmodel #scratchbuilder #artist #miniaturist #art #modelmaker #modelmaking #diorama #dioramaart #byhand #footplate #thisweekindioramas #makingartinisolation #railways https://www.instagram.com/p/B_46BeMnICb/?igshid=zgemw9p93xiy

Flying Scotsman Footplate miniature experience (scale 1/20) I've started to prime some of the sections ready for painting and then weathering. I'm particularly happy with the way the seats have come out. I simply created them out of two cut to shape scrap pieces of plasticard and then I used milliput for the leather seats. I then engraved some stitch lines in and then added a piece of electrical wire with the protective sleeve removed to replicate the outer stitch line I suppose. The fire box will come next once completed but I've got a process I'm going to do for the surfaces on that 👍 #theflyingscotsman #steamtrain #firebox #timecapsule #steamlocomotive #hyperrealisticart #flyingscotsman #iconic #makersgonnamake #makerscommunity #originalart #diomaker #scalemodel #artpassion #selftaughtartist #scratchbuilding #scratchbuiltmodel #scratchbuilder #artist #miniaturist #art #modelmaker #modelmaking #diorama #dioramaart #byhand #footplate #isolationcreation #makingartinisolation #railways https://www.instagram.com/p/B_huQFrni0b/?igshid=12up9t5gen2cg

Thunderbird 1 and hangar progress: I love replicating these small details the best I can and the diving board is an example... It hit me today that I'm treating reference pictures of a model as if it's a real place... That's how believable the original sets were and why children and adults were inspired and swept away by a epic piece of television - @gerryandersontv really was a legend 🙌 #Thunderbird1 #smallfurniture #thunderbirds #divingboard #tinystructures #pool #smallerandsmaller #plasticaddict #makersgonnamake #makerscommunity #swimmingpool #diomaker #scalemodel #artpassion #selftaughtartist #scratchbuilding #scratchbuiltmodel #scratchbuilder #artist #miniaturist #art #modelmaker #modelmaking #diorama #dioramaart #byhand #thunderbirdsdiorama #isolationcreation #makingartinisolation #gerryanderson https://www.instagram.com/p/B-4nobxnKln/?igshid=lhjvlelgsze2

Flying Scotsman Footplate miniature experience (scale 1/20) I've sprayed the firebox back with a Matt black, interestingly it came out in a slightly satin finish which became really useful as looking at references it's really a shiny black so I used some pastels to add in all the coal dust that is required. It's absolutely filthy on these things so it's really satisfying to go heavy on the weathering... Still much to go and picking out the details 👌 #theflyingscotsman #steamtrain #weathering #timecapsule #steamlocomotive #hyperrealisticart #flyingscotsman #4472 #makersgonnamake #makerscommunity #originalart #diomaker #scalemodel #artpassion #selftaughtartist #scratchbuilding #scratchbuiltmodel #scratchbuilder #artist #miniaturist #art #modelmaker #modelmaking #diorama #dioramaart #byhand #footplate #isolationcreation #makingartinisolation #railways https://www.instagram.com/p/B_perv8n0oG/?igshid=87wsqqnfdcmj

I randomly came across some early sketches I did for some older pieces (back before I used a proper sketch book) It really interested me because it showed me how my sketching style has developed. Now I colour everything and have finely tuned how I plan. Most of it is in my head but a drawing really helps to convey an idea if anyone asks what you're vision is. I've always found drawing a reliable friend right from a young age. Let me know in the comments if you use drawings to plan your work? #sketchbookdrawing #sketching #planning #timecapsule #failtoplanplantofail #hyperrealisticart #drawing #oldsketches #makersgonnamake #makerscommunity #originalart #diomaker #scalemodel #artpassion #selftaughtartist #scratchbuilding #scratchbuiltmodel #scratchbuilder #artist #miniaturist #art #modelmaker #modelmaking #diorama #dioramaart #byhand #landrover #isolationcreation #makingartinisolation #harrypotter https://www.instagram.com/p/B_utJE1n2_X/?igshid=u151rsfksxth

Flying Scotsman Footplate miniature experience (scale 1/20) I thought I would show a comparison shot so you can get an understanding of exactly what I'm trying to achieve... This morning I've made the seats using milliput on top of plasticard... You'll see the rivet details on the backs once they are in place 👌 I hope you all have a wonderful Sunday and stretch your legs if you can, I know I have been 👍 #theflyingscotsman #steamtrain #firebox #timecapsule #steamlocomotive #hyperrealisticart #flyingscotsman #iconic #makersgonnamake #makerscommunity #originalart #diomaker #scalemodel #artpassion #selftaughtartist #scratchbuilding #scratchbuiltmodel #scratchbuilder #artist #miniaturist #art #modelmaker #modelmaking #diorama #dioramaart #byhand #footplate #isolationcreation #makingartinisolation #railways https://www.instagram.com/p/B_clvZbnu1I/?igshid=m6dzwb90fs7w

Thunderbird 1 and hangar: A bit of fun with my work... I had some cotton wool lying around... I just couldn't resist putting this together... Let's be honest it was asking for it 😂

The second of my three new pieces I've created - This one I have entitled: 'Wembley - 1966' 1/6th scale it depicts the match ball before the kick off of the final. - They will each be going straight into my Etsy store after lockdown has fully lifted. If you are interested in this piece before the end of lockdown message me to discuss further... - Ingredients: Ping pong ball, milliput, plasticard, static grass, filer, PVA, gravel scatter materials, acrylic paints by Vallejo, pastels, one pair of hands and various glues. - I hope you're all well and good and keeping motivated in these still uncertain times. I very much feel the end is in sight though! Keep going! 😁 #football #worldcup #worldcupfinal #timecapsule #oldfootball #hyperrealisticart #sport #miniaturefootball #makersgonnamake #makerscommunity #originalart #diomaker #scalemodel #footballhistory #selftaughtartist #scratchbuilding #scratchbuiltmodel #scratchbuilder #artist #miniaturist #art #modelmaker #modelmaking #diorama #dioramaart #byhand #childhoodmemories #kickaround #makingartinisolation #maker https://www.instagram.com/p/CAQgmUqHW58/?igshid=aslg3rok8ou4

Football boots on a £1... Absolutely loved making these. I scaled down a template of a pair boots and then cut out the sides making sure to drill out the lace eyelets incase I could find a way to lace them up... I used some plastic rod I filed down to make the studs and used milliput to firm each boot 👌 this is a pure case of imagining something and just doing 🤟 #football #footballboots #minifootballboots #timecapsule #miniaturefootball #hyperrealisticart #sport #nikemercurialvapor #makersgonnamake #makerscommunity #originalart #diomaker #scalemodel #oldfootball #selftaughtartist #scratchbuilding #scratchbuiltmodel #scratchbuilder #artist #miniaturist #art #modelmaker #modelmaking #diorama #dioramaart #byhand #thebeautifulgame #kickaround #makingartinisolation #maker https://www.instagram.com/p/CAApTbiHaLV/?igshid=19oi1jh32mefl
