Model building is a very enjoyable and fulfilling hobby for most. It can also become a successful business, maybe even an obsession.  No matter what encourages you to create, It’s the enjoyment of seeing your finished creation and knowing that you were the one who spent that time putting it together.

 

This is my first attempt at a large scale wooden model kit of “The Bounty” in process and finished.

Still learning new things.

You hear a lot nowadays about 3D printing and how you can create objects from plans with the aid of a 3D printer.  Where you can build items to accurate detail.   A more exciting way is to create your model freestyle with a 3D pen which is similar to a glue gun but much finer.  As the liniment cools after leaving the heat tip it can be molded and shaped, filed or cut to your design.

In the last year I have started working with a 3D pen which uses the same liniment that you use in a 3D printer. I can use it to create more details for my ships like extra crew.
