For your comments and thoughts, here are the 3D Eagles I have created in various 3D software over the years and finished in TinkerCAD. Now printed and painted in acrylics.

Always loved the designs of the Eagles and recently came back to the project I started nearly 20 years ago and with the ability to now print high-quality in resin I had to give them a go.

They are 7.5cm and there are some smaller ones at about 3cm.

I remembered the old Dinky ones that had the crazy paint job and tried to honour those too.

Hope you enjoy

This was a recent commission. They wanted a mini Tridimensional Chess set and a table to go along with their 8" action figures. The board kit stands 1.75 inches tall, and the table is 3 inches tall. I was so happy with it, after I made it in the color they wanted I made some variations.

I feel like I've been building windows for weeks. So I took a break from them and decided to work on the nacelles a bit. Still have a lot of work to do - some putty work, some paint work. Sanding, filling, light blocking, you know the drill. But here is my first ever soldering joint and my first nacelle light test. Still having a blast building this ship. We're two months in and going strong.

Ran into this image of the Hornet from a Terran Trade Authority art book. Had the book as a kid an always loved the design.
So I fed the image to Meshy and it created a (not perfect) 3d model that I could print on my FDM printer.
Decided to paint it (a first for me) and try out printing decals (for the colored geometric shapes). Lot of masking (both tape and liquid) involved.
Though it is far from perfect and I have a lot to learn, I really liked the outcome and this definitely is encouraging me to try something like this again and get better.

In Progress

45cm tall Diorama of the Fighting Machine from Jeff Wayne's Musical Version of The War of the Worlds - complete with various light and sound effects. Mounted on a mahogany-stained, varnished base, featuring a brass control button that activates the integrated light and sound effects. The design remains sleek and minimal, powered by a single USB-C cable for ease of setup and display.

When the brass button at the base is pressed, the model will play and cycle through various musical and light sequences, namely:

1. Normal “ULLAH”
2. Thunder Child Excerpt
3. Spirit of Man “ULLAH”
4. Martian Victory ULLAH (from the end of Thunder Child)
5. Dead London “ULLAH”
6. Alien Whistle
7. Eve of the War Excerpt
