Arthur's Horse and Mini Mayfair Completed!

 First of all, my stream is going well, although I do believe I will need to purchase a better web cam for my main bench. I believe the smaller details are a little difficult to see. Apart from that, things are working out well. While on stream I have been working on my 3d printed Arthur Morgan, well his horse in particular. 

I have filled the gaps and been working on smoothing and sanding, so far looking ok. I had to primer it once done just to check and it wasnt quite as smooth as i suspected so a finer filler will be required. Here is the progress so far:




Getting there but joints are still visible after priming, so a little more detail work is required. This is, however, one of my side projects. My main project is building my Mini Mayfair. 

After my last post on the Mini, I had some issues with the black under paint coat for the chrome, I thinned it too much and ruined part of the main body paint. After trying a few ideas, I had to grind  back the paint in that area and re-prime, paint and gloss. 

The chrome paint i was using was new and I have never used it before. It is an incredible chrome but I had to learn how to use it. It doesnt take a gloss and can't really be touched once dry other wise it rubs off. Great colour, very chrome but needs to be handled with care.

I finally finished the reworking paintwork and put the Mini together on stream and this is the result:













  Lots of great pictures and I am very happy with the result. There are a few little glitches but then I will always find fault with my own work. Well I hope you enjoy the pictures and have been enjoying my streams. 

The display case will be coming tomorrow so It will be safely dust proofed soon enough.

Twitch Streaming!

 Hi there! 

I have recently managed to get my model bench all tidied up and ready to stream! That's right, I have a bunch of cameras all pointed at my bench and I have a Twitch channel to stream what I do on that bench. From showing you my tools, tutorials and methods. It'll be a video version of this blog. So be sure to follow my channel and watch out for my model making streams. I also stream video games but I am very much hoping my model making streams take off and gets some interest.
