Following! How did you sculpt the water?

Spanjaard
i was going to ask the same question.... 🙂

Jörg Schäfer
The water surface looking really good.

Mick Markiewicz
Water is sculpted in clay. Clay itself is glued on to a piece of MDF, visible on one of the first pictures. I sculpt it with a ball bearing glued onto to a piece of 1mm steel wire (handle), but I've seen people do it with padlocks shackle.

Ingmar Stöhr
Thank you for the explanation! Looking forward to see your progress on this one!

Michael Kohl
Taking a seat

Rui S
Excellent Work 👍

Matti Thomaes
Masterfull capture of this very smal boat, and this in 1/350, hats off

Neuling
Top notch. As usual. The way of presentation as well. - Having built this kit 2 years ago I can only consent to Rick´s opinion on the high quality of the kit. - When I served as an artilleryman our regiment was equipped with M107 and M 110 self propelled guns, I still remember well the whining sound of their engines ............

CarlosR
looks great

Rui S
Excellent 👍

Pepe
Nice!!!!

Rick Taylor
Thanks guys!

Neuling, I am a retired artillery officer and spent 5 years in M110A2 battalions. The 8-inch guns were a lot of fun, especially at the direct fire range. I've got the AFV Club m110A2 in the stash to build up as one of the guns in the battery I commanded.

A really tidy build!

Vytautas
Superb detailing there Kristjan. Absolutely brilliant.

Hister Farjas
Good

Kesa Tiho
Väga lahe, kas see ongi see Panzer 3 mida selle kuu kokkutulekul esitasid?

Thomas K.
and another very nice build! 😉

Finnish armor is always cool. I'm going to get to that T-72G in Finnish colors, someday! Great work on the camo and weathering. 👍

Villiers de Vos
Very nice work and weathering.

Pepe
Nice work

Nick N
Awesome work!

Neuling
Top work indeed!

Rui S
Great as always 👍

Hister Farjas
Great pHotos

So, start of a new project. I really want to build a digital camouflage Su-27 and originally another digital camo MiG-29 after the ICM kit and I already bought the Foxbot masks for them.
For my Italeri MiG-29 kit I have other plans, so I decided to use the Foxbot decals for the MiG for somethign else. Thought about ab Tornado or an F/A-18 initially. But I have this F-16 kit in my stash that has no camo options I like, so ... an F-16 in digital camo it is. Much effort just to try out the Foxbot masks 🙂

Villiers de Vos
Very nice work on the camouflage.

Robert Podkoński
Fantastic idea! Great work so far, keep it up!

DerMattes
So, after completely ruining the first paintjob I basically started over. I had no motivation to take any pictures during this process, because I very much doubt that the masks would work this time. I don't really know what I did different the second time, but I think it had nothing to do with the masks, but with how I used the airbrush.
Decals are a mix of the kits and leftovers from the Revell/Hasegawa Su-27.

Robert Podkoński
Great job! I am impressed with your perseverance.

Oleg Bogolei
Nice! Hope, soon this will not be "what if")

Rui S
Great work 👍 SLAVA UKRAINE

DerMattes
Thank you guys!

Mockingbird
Great Idea&work! hope it would became reality, soon

Finn
Beautiful in som many ways!

DerMattes
Thank you guys 🙂

Jan Peters
Excellent 👍🏻

Hister Farjas
Looks Better than the real Scheme they ended up using, great modelling work.

Bozzer
I'm in, just to see how that trailer goes! That's some ambitious project, right there, brother!

Martin Oostrom
My son printed these parts a while ago and they were in the way on my bench. So I'll be working on the cargo first and then we'll see where it goes from there truck and trailer wise.

Ben M
👀 what a cool subject…

Spanjaard
so now you have access to 3D printers, cool

Bozzer
I couldn't help wonder, what that thing is? I'm guessing that it's some kind of silo? Probably fictional, but not uncommon for unusual things to be carried around the country. I'm definitely all for unusual loads. They keep our hobby, that little bit more interesting.

Martin Oostrom
In game it is called an Industrial Condenser.

Bozzer
Some nifty little hacks, there Martin. Keep them coming 😉

Martin Oostrom
Too bad is will me a one colour beast.
I might try some preshading to see how that turns out…

bughunter
Another level of great scratch work! That will be a unique model 👍

Martin Oostrom
I had some primer left over from the Merc and the Lambo, so why not use it on this one?
And then I couldn't help myself.

Kyle DeHart
Stopping by to watch this too.

Spanjaard
unique, my friend. really looking forward the end result

Jonathon Herring
Gotta love large complex loads. Gonna watch fascinated.

Martin Oostrom
Slow progress. Today I clearcoated the cargo with Zeropaint 2k flat

Bozzer
Just wondering how things are moving, with this project?

Martin Oostrom
Stuck in traffic. There's a slow moving Beetle in front of an on old Australian Truck holding things up.

Spanjaard
LOL

Bozzer
Oddly enough, I have a road at the back of my cave, just like that? The chassis for my Australian Truck, is currently the test bed, for my resin cabs! It does look good, with double hump fenders though 😉

Martin Oostrom
The Aussie truck is done and the Beetles paint is curing.
Now building a new bed for the trailer.

Bozzer
Oh, I'm glued to my seat! Let's go!!!

Martin Oostrom
I do hope that the Mrs will bring some food and drink every now and then. It's going to take a while Bozzer.
Decision time. Do I make my own cross members or do I glue the new bed on top of the old one?

Bozzer
That's a tough call mate.
Personally, I'd go for it and build my own. However, I'd check the time, by building one, and see how long it takes me? Then I'd multiply that, by the amount of cross members, plus the rails and end pieces.
I'd do this because, my time is limited and nobody really looks at the bottom of a trailer?
That being said, I have plans to build some very interesting trailers, in the future, all from scratch!
If time is on your side, go for it. If not, straight on top of the old, works too.

Martin Oostrom
The kit bed has 'just' 21 crossmembers. I think I'll pass on recreating those.

Martin Oostrom
At ESM last Saturday, I met this guy Mark Spiers. He is supplying me with another set of axles and the wheels and such. At a reasonable price, I can get this setup look a bit more 'heavy transport'.

Bozzer
On the Idea picture, your image shows smaller wheels on the trailer, than the truck. Obviously those are offset by the gooseneck. Options for wheels should be available by 3D printing? They'd definitely be steel wheels. Revell have a Heavy Duty Trailer with a beavertail. I can measure those wheels and tyres, if you want that information? That's definitely the way I'd go, for a heavy trailer like that 👍
