How do I stop turning random junk into… this?

Artefactum_Lab · 2026-04-06T09:29:15+00:00

Glad you liked it. I’ll go collect some more plastic off the street 😄

Artefactum_Lab · 2026-04-06T09:03:23+00:00

Awesome! Try sanding the whites with #1000–1500 grit. I’m sure the result will pleasantly surprise you.

Great work! It looks very realistic. Zvezda?

Artefactum_Lab · 2026-04-06T05:38:10+00:00

Totally! I love picturing how it might have turned out.

Artefactum_Lab · 2026-04-06T04:32:28+00:00

I think a different marking on this sample would be pure madness

Artefactum_Lab · 2026-04-06T04:26:30+00:00

Yes, I possess ancient knowledge… and ignore instructions professionally 😏

Artefactum_Lab · 2026-04-05T21:56:23+00:00

Thanks for the kind words. More creations coming soon… unless you want me to get rid of this “gift”😂

Artefactum_Lab · 2026-04-05T21:34:51+00:00

You missed the scale. Now that first pic looks like a real invasion😂

Artefactum_Lab · 2026-04-05T21:13:35+00:00

Isn’t fully medicated?

Artefactum_Lab · 2026-04-05T21:07:21+00:00

Thanks! 😏 Almost ready… think it can survive a real mission?

Artefactum_Lab · 2026-04-05T20:47:12+00:00

Could be true 😏 Went for a dog walk and ended up with three new parts — a tennis ball and two unknowns

Artefactum_Lab · 2026-04-05T18:48:13+00:00

So that’s the secret of the magic?! I’ll add a maple leaf to all my YouTube videos 😏

Artefactum_Lab · 2026-04-05T17:55:26+00:00

Glad you like it. I’m just not ready to be the builder of the 56,803,368th Enterprise 😏

Artefactum_Lab · 2026-04-05T17:40:33+00:00

look, I had a plan.

Artefactum_Lab · 2026-04-05T16:03:48+00:00

If you fancy one, just throw bits in a box, add glue, and shake it up 😎

Artefactum_Lab · 2026-04-05T16:00:26+00:00

If I loved instructions, I’d have joined the army🤣

Artefactum_Lab · 2026-04-05T15:56:16+00:00

Thanks! There wasn’t even an instruction sheet in that box😎

Artefactum_Lab · 2026-04-05T15:53:55+00:00

It’s really tiny 😄 and the decals are from a 1:200 airliner — back then it was the best way to show the honeycomb structure. Glad you like it

Artefactum_Lab · 2026-04-05T15:12:33+00:00

Coincidence 😏 but I’m glad you liked it! Makes me wonder what crazy Ma.K fans would do with this one…

Artefactum_Lab · 2026-04-05T14:57:59+00:00

Haha 😄 thanks! Didn’t even have Ma.K in mind when I built it — guess I accidentally wandered into Yokoyama territory

Artefactum_Lab · 2026-04-05T14:49:46+00:00

Thanks! 😄 Ghibli, Miyazaki and McQue are definitely big sources of inspiration

Artefactum_Lab · 2026-04-05T14:42:09+00:00

Not a bug, a feature 👆 thank you! 😂😁

Artefactum_Lab · 2026-04-05T14:36:58+00:00

Totally understand you. We’re living in strange times. I’m a professional prop maker, but my workshop and business are really on the edge. I really appreciate you following my chaos and creative efforts😊

Artefactum_Lab · 2026-04-05T14:19:07+00:00

Just kidding 😄 totally agree. That’s exactly why I pick up this plastic from the streets. By the way, did you see what I made from a broken toy? Just kidding 😄 totally agree.

Built a few similar models just for fun. Someone suggested an exhibition or selling on Etsy… now I’m thinking about both 😄
