The Hobby Hobbit Strikes Again

Ok. He's getting obsessed. What started out as a $10 model has become an enormous project that has my husband completely distracted. I'm sure it helps that he has plenty of time right now to be working on it. But I have to say--he's pretty darn good. Having never really done much model work before, Trevor has undertaken the job of creating not just the pirate ship model and the little hosue already pictured, but an entire diarama where he can showcase said pirate ship. And you know what? Looks pretty awesome! Not done yet--but very cool. So I thought I'd put a little update here, and then whenever we are visiting friends he can pull up this blog and show them what he's been up to.

So without further ado, here it is. Not done yet, Trevor wants you all to realize, but still, getting closer.
This is the $10 model that started it all! The pieces were all black originally, so all the painting and assembling was done by him. I think it looks pretty sweet!


This is the newest picture of the house I already put on here. As you can see, he painted it. I think it looks very nice!


This is his original little mock-up the diarama.



Then he added the plaster to it.






Then he painted it. In the last shot, he just added the water gel stuff that has to dry for 24 hours. It's kinda hard to see it in the picture very well. But he did more painting and added bushes and it looks really nice!


Yes, my husband is a little hobby hobbitt. I'm sure you are all greatly looking forward to seeing it again when its finished!
