Create own Coke Bottles in 35th scale


Still needs some work

I use these clear plastic forks from a local burger take-away; they are the exact size I need.
Simply cut the bottle to the lenght you need, apply/glue the resized coke logo and then with your scalpel knife cut away the one side to form the bottle neck.

I am still trying to paint these 'bottles' to look like unopened full bottles of coke.
I was thinking of painting only the buttom part, maybe it will shine thru?

Clervaux Village and Castle Diorama




Claude Joachim, an immensely talented modeller, hails from the beautiful principality of Luxembourg. Although Luxembourg was a small country without aspirations for world domination, It's position in the centre of the Ardennes meant it would not escape the ravages of the Second World War. Whilst the German invasion of 1940 passed with little drama, the winter of '44/'45 would prove to be very different.

Claude has been inspired by the history of the small village of Clervaux, and it's castle. He has recreated the castle as it was, when occupied by the advancing American Army, and not content with building the castle, and it's interior, entirely from scratch, he is also building part of the village that surrounds it. The painstaking detail and effort that has gone into the castle, and the remainder of the village, can be followed in his various blogs in the forum.

Scale Modelling Magnifier

Without this gadget my eyes would not be able
to see all the small parts and corrections to be made

DIY Scale Accessories

Maps, Newspapers reduced to size

Letters, Books, Photos, Labels etc reduced and ready for 35th scale

Labels for cans or boxes reduced to size and printed in color

Coke, cigarettes etc cartons ready for assemble
I found this on various scale websites and Googled the other,
copied and used
CorelDraw to make
them in batches and reduced in size!

Once you've started you dont want to stop it's that fun!

Make own Kindle

A local Tea called Rooibos is the ideal item to use as kindle, dried sticks etc!
After you enjoyed a cuppa let it dry in window sill for a day or two and there you have it!
I even used it in a iced river (wax), and it looks great!
