I built vehicle models as a boy, and never bothered with dolls for them. As an adult, I made one model to illustrate a design, and used a stock plastic head of the same scale from a RC aircraft. I re-sculpted the helmet to match the activity, and quite surprised myself by greatly improving the facial features as well.
I have also made my own flat, articulated mannequins to scale for tracing on drawings to get the clearances right, starting with the statistics on human dimensions.


Very nice.

I am de-stressing. Today I purchased a cheap battery operated trainset for £12.99. I know it is a toy, but it is very impressive how little the set costs. The whole set is cheaper then a single item that is classed as a model. For this I have a steam locomotive with a tender, two bogie coaches and a nice oval of track with a station. Can't go wrong for that price.

Sometimes I don't like joints on human skinned figures it takes me out of the details.

I was told when painting, paint them matt black first, and then start to paint the various colours one needs. That way, any little bits one has missed will not be so visible.

I have watched more than afew recorded lectures on the spectrum. The lecturers sometimes contrast drawings by typical youngsters and young ones on the spectrum.

I recall one example where children had draen the school playground, where from one of our tribe there was a picture with the playgroynd's features fairly well proportioned, the drainpipes and windows on the school building well portrayed, and the playfround empty, while the contrasting example sermed to have some generic buildigs, playground stuff and lots of people in the basic persob figure one tends to be taught to draw eary on in primary school.
