Andy's Model Model Show
Displayed in a small Ferrero Rocher box 140mm x 65mm x 75mm, the 6’ x 2’ table is 3D printed to scale with two layers of tissue paper wet with 50/50 mix of Mod Podge Matt and water. Because the last person to pack the club office didn’t fold the cloth right it’s got wrinkles – you can blame them!
Club banner along front of the table is screen printed from a photo, reduced to the right size and printed on a colour laser.
Back row; American School Bus, Donald Duck, Tigger, Fireman Sam, Dalek, Bristol Beaufighter.
Front row; 2 x cars, USS Enterprise, Sherman Tank, FW109, Hurricane, Spitfire.

1:24 scale garage diorama; WIP, depicting a Citroen Mehari on a 3D resin printed two post vehicle lift. 2D photos of the wall have been made 3D using coffee stirrers. Garage roller shutter is mounted on magnets so can be displayed in the lowered or raised position. Lighting is 3D printed as are the welder, trolly jacks, inspection trolly and pigeons just outside the window. Front wheel can be attached/detached following the modification with magnets. Lighting and welder LED’s are controlled with a microprocessor hidden inside the recycled Ferrero Rocher box.
