Tamiya King Hauler Truck

This has been a King haul – pun intended – but now it’s (almost) ready: The complete Tamiya truck with all parts modeled.

ETA 6497-1 complete watch movement

Never one to turn down a challenge, it’s modeled mainly after photos and a small amount of technical documentation from ETA. That took a while(!), but result is reasonably convincing when it comes to shape, form, size and interaction between the parts.

The rear differential with all gears from Tamiya’s excellent RC Truck.

Sten gun Mk. 2 1942 complete

Ever wondered how a submachine gun works? The British Sten gun from 1942 is a good example of a typical submachine gun. Its called “sub” machine gun because it uses low powered pistol ammunition instead of full power rifle cartridges. It operates with a blow-back bolt, which means that the bolt is not locked but seals the chamber due to its forward inertia. This makes it very simple, but also prone to misfiring. A brilliant example of rough industrial design where function and ease of manufacture trumped aesthetics and tradition..

F-16 Jet after Dan Lavoie tutorial

Have just finished the third SolidWorks tutorial by Dan Lavoie this past week and here is the result: The F-16 Fighting Falcon Jet. I added Danish nationality marks and updated the weaponry to realistic surfaces and colors along with the rest of the airplane. Another great surfacing tutorial by Dan that I can highly recommend. Great fun.
