I'll start this off by saying up front that not every modeller will need this video. It's pretty niche. Not everyone has thought, "You know, what this diorama needs is a teeny weeny coffee mug in it." But a lot of modellers have thought, "What this vehicle or scene needs is a small touch of humanity, something to being a little something domestic to the scene." And for that, I present to you: the 5mm tall coffee mug.
Like I said, it's a pretty niche topic...
But what I love about this video is that it shows just how many different approaches there are to a problem. I thought of a number of ways I could have made this tea cup / coffee mug, before finally settling on the solution I went with. Since I posted the video on YouTube, a number of people have commented on other ways it could have been achieved as well.
That's so cool.

| You read it right: 5mm tall. Brutal. |
Anyways, for those of you who do find yourself one day needing to scratch build a 1/35 coffee mug - I hope this helps!
Video is embedded below, but in case that doesn't work here is the link:

Awesome. Is the kettle boiling on one of the exhaust pipes or a heat vent? Its the small comforts that makes working a anti grav rig feel a bit homely.
ReplyDeleteGreat tutorial

Hi Peter, those long weeks on anti-grav rigs pass slowly... :) Thanks mate, Dave
ReplyDeleteYour sci-fi scratch build got me inspired to try one myself. Not near as detailed, but my little scout/probe droid is getting there... hopefully he's not held back by having lots of bits off Roden WWI engines attached to him...
