Modelling Projects |
These are guides to reproduce modelling projects that I have undertaken in the past. The techniques can of course be applied to other projects. Materials A look at the materials I use for modelling. Both for scratchbuilding and converting. Tools. The tools I work with. Methods. How I go about scratchbuilding and converting models. The Projects. These are pdf files for download.

To accompany the Star Trek figures in the earlier project, this contains instructions to build a movie era shuttlecraft from plasticard to the same scale. EVA Foam Modular Wargame Board Instructions on how to make a modular wargame board from interlocking EVA foam floor tiles. A Guide To Making Wargames Buildings From Plastic Containers Many types of plastic storage containers can be used as the basis for buildings in tabletop wargames. This provides several examples of how different stypes of containers may be used.

The core of a scratch built mech to accompany the other 25/28mm scale scratch built vehicles presented here.
