Thanx :) The Old Country Church (Metal Earth 3D puzzle-static) Scale: ? After a long time, another metal 3D puzzle that I put together is this old church. The puzzle contains about 33 pieces (some pieces are there more than once, e.g. there are 8 windows). It was assembled well, I placed the...

Thanx :) So I'm done...at the end I added the surface details: sunroof, spoilers for the body, door frames, rear. mirrors, wipers, aprons...I pulled the sun visor with LED into the space a little, the taillights and signs... When creating the base I was based on a photo from the Maroco rally...

Thanks ;) I finally managed to put Benny on wheels. I made the chassis based on a few photos where I saw something, so it probably won't be very accurate... I added the tanks and also the shock absorbers, which were originally supposed to be a little visible, in the end when I made the...

I continued with the cabin interior and crew...I already had to customize 2 figures because I'm kind of running out of seated figures...but at least they're unique pieces...I painted the figures with acrylic paints, framed the cabin and added a few accessories...now I'll make the chassis...

:) GERMAN SHEPHERD (cardboard 3D puzzle) Scale: ? Source: NIXIM 3D Puzzle Another 3D puzzle, another dog for the collection. It consists of 31 pieces, and it was assembled well and the result is quite nice, a few photos:

So I'm slowly continuing...I glued the wheels, each wheel consists of 7 parts, I grooved the tread and at least symbolically domed the side of the tire and finally dusted it... I have glued all the units, I have glued the recessed lights and holes on the hood, the cabin is glazed and added nets...

Thanx ;) Benny-model version Scale: 1:100 Author: Milan Weiner Publisher: ABC 5/2025 As I mentioned, I will try to improve Bohouš a bit in the box version. I cut out all the parts, with windows cut out in the cabin, since there will also be a simple interior, engine ventilation cut out of the...

Thank you, also thanks to your comments and opinions during construction, I managed to assemble the model as you see it in the photos. ;)

Thanks :) So here we have the finale, it's time to finish the last details... hopefully I won't forget anything: -finished snorkel for the front hood -finished wipers and rearview mirrors (I used aluminum foil tape, which mimics a mirror quite well) -finished details for the trunk -cut out all...

Thanks :) I'm slowly approaching the final...I didn't choose sand for the mat this time (like I did with the previous Fiat). Making such a sand base is quite simple - you make tracks in the sand, paint it with yellow paint and use fine sand as a sprinkle, the car settles into the tracks and...
