Work in Progress
This is the most weathered airplane I have ever made, probably.
I think I can finish this one 2-3 days, I'll edit the clips and upload the video next week.

So painting has begun.
I am doing pre-highlighting and shadowing.
A very focus demanding process, but I love the effect.
Let's see how it goes.

I am working on the wings now. Riveting, making the engine mount etc.
I think I can move on to painting next week if there is no trouble.
And I forgot to tell you guys that I am making ...

I did some assembling and riveting and the nose.
Big plane has many many rivets, so repetitive, but I love the effect.
I also did the nose. It is a DIY part because it is very hard to m...

Now I can see the end. Although it will still take some time.
What a long journey.

All the hard parts are done, making skeleton structure can be pain in the butt.
I am dry fitting to check the fitting of scratch build parts.
All seems good.
Now I'll convert thi...

While working with Tirpitz,
I decided to make B-17 wreck after I watched 'the Masters of the Air.'
My original plan was making SBD Dauntless, but I postponed it for the next project. 2024-04-24 12:15:48 +0000 UTC View Post
I am now done with masking on my Tirpitz.
Ready to do some paint work.

Nikonov's Submarine is done.
I had a lot of fun by making it, like trying new wood painting method, putting big barrel into the epoxy resin, sculpting drift wood, etc.
I'll start to edi...

Now fishes are in the place.
It took longer than I thought, and now it is ready for the epoxy resin.
Pouring epoxy resin always makes me nervous, wish me luck.

I've been working on the base.
I add some rotting driftwood, hoping for making comparison between the fresh and well polished wood on the submarine and the rotting wood on the bottom.

The submarine is almost done.
I tried this newly learned method involving inks, and it is really satisfying.
I used AK16001, AK16010, and AK16012 inks.
The submarine had been printed and I am painting wood.
I am trying new painting wood method I'd learned recently, I hope it goes well.

The Battle of the North Cape trilogy dioramas are done.

I put some figures on the deck.
Some of them are trying to put out the fire on the A turret and the hanger.
I think this diorama will be done next week.

Now I am working on sailors and officers on Scharnhorst.
They have low polygon due to the scale.
I'll do some more postures.
It is finally done, somehow I had some trouble at very last moment like severed electric cable in Kursk, spilling water on my SD card reader, my photo studio light bulb not working, etc.
...
It looks great, no bubbles.
I am now working on clips, I'll upload the video as soon as possible.
Epoxy resin is poured and I am waiting for curing.
While waiting, I am working on the base of Scharnhorst.
I am trying something new on the sides of the base.

Now the submarine is ready for the epoxy work.
I am praying that the epoxy work goes as planned.
Wish me luck.

I want to make it very weathered.
After the fall of the Soviet Union, their ships were very poorly maintained if not neglected.

Not as bright as I planed, but it is good enough I guess.
