What have you made in real life (showcase)

I recently completed a Messerschmitt Bf 109 E-7 hobby kit which was harder than I thought. Other than leaning on one side because of crappy landing gear attachment and staining it with cement on the worst place ever possible (the windshield) I guess it's.. okay?

I don't know how I'd paint it, though. The thing's two choices of paint schemes really need spray paint to do perfectly (Something I barely have any of) and doing it with acrylic.. no. Blame the Luftwaffe for having such complex camouflages.

Sorry for crappy image quality -- In the background is a bunch of papers which remind me I should really be studying for finals, and a model of Space Shuttle Endeavour from California Space Center which houses -- You guessed it -- The Endeavour orbiter!

I once made a throwing spear tipped with a shell fragment from the beach. It obviously was not designed to maim but I wanted to practice throwing spears and the slate tipped ones I made didn't really hold up to punishment.

Since I didn't want to bore into any of the pine trees nearby I had to use a glue instead of the stone age method of pine sap.

I also tried to make an atlatl for it but it didn't really work.

Here's my DIY Geiger counter.
