Now there is an interesting project. I'll watch for this neat little vehicle to take shape!

Mike, у меня есть собранный СТЗ-5 ( в альбомах) и есть БМ-13 от "Звезды" (тоже в Альбомах). СТЗ крайне приятен в сборке, модель очень хорошая, рекомендую всем.

Mike Goodman
Sergey, how popular is the scale model hobby in Russia?

Sergey E.
Очень популярно! Постоянно вижу новости, что открываются детские клубы. В московских школах практически в каждом классе есть школьник, который увлекается стендовым моделизмом. В разных регионах постоянно проводятся выставки и конкурсы. С каждым годом всё больше и больше новых производителей дополнений для моделизма.

High-level works will be produced, look forward to and admire them.

Treehugger
Sweet metal railing parts. 🙂

Q: Where did you buy them?

Matti Thomaes
Hello Treehugger,

I bought them on the site of Naval Models itself, this set should still be available, although the stock is limited

navalmodels.com/

Tim
Yes

Treehugger
Q: Is there not supposed to be railings on top at the back in photo 3? Just below the mast structure.

Guy Rump
Looking good, following. 👍

Matti Thomaes
@ treehugger, yes indeed, it is one of the few pieces of PE that I still have to add
Guy, welkom, take a seat,

Michael Kohl
Count me in on that one. Very nice progress so far.

Jörg Schäfer
I'll stay with you too. Looks good already.

Christian Lehmann
👍

Matti Thomaes
I've been working on the details to make it all look a bit more realistic, I hope to get busy with the airbrush very soon.

Matti Thomaes
I had hoped to be in the painting phase by now, but no, still adding detail to it. I didn't have the time to do much, as other things kept getting in the way.

Tim
Great progress. All the extra detail is nice.

Matti Thomaes
Thanks Tim👍

Matti Thomaes
Well doesn't time fly. It's been months since I gave you guy's an update on my Jean Bart. I have been working on her, but only in short sessions. This gave me the impression that I was getting nowhere with this one. Then came along the Plastic & Steel show where I had the opportunity to work on her for two full days, and lo and behold she is close to getting finished. Just adding the last details know, than some weathering, clear coat and windows and clear parts and done.
Hopefully next update very soon…

Mike Goodman
I think it was time well spent, seeing how impressive your rendering of this tug is at this stage!

Matti Thomaes
Thanks, Mike, It is indeed a far cry from the original kit, of I may say so my self.

Martin Oostrom
Another ghost build that started in my vacation. All parts are ready for paint, unfortunately the weather isn't cooperating.

Alexander Grivonev
What's with the weather in your corner of the world😄
too warm?

Martin Oostrom
Too windy and wet. I can't open my window to let the hose from my spray booth out. Rain will come in 🌧️

Martin Oostrom
Wind from another direction today, so primer is on.

Martin Oostrom
Painted with Zero paints Jordan yellow. Needs another coat or two

Michael Kohl
Following.
PS: you can guide your hose into a bucket with a bit of water and a lid with an airvent.
Check: How to use a bucket to vent a spray booth on Youtube. I will build myself one too as the concept looks very convincing.

Spanjaard
nice yellow color!

Ben M
👀

Martin Oostrom
The yellow needed 7 more thin coats. More than half a jar was used on this small car.

Ben M
That's yellow for you!

Hey Martin, you can buy colored primers like yellow or red. 2K as well.

Martin Oostrom
Thank you gents.
I have black, yellow, white, pink, three kinds of grey and rustoxide red primer. But the zero paints yellow "needs" 2k and that is one of my greys. That paint is soooo thin with colour. The decanted ts-16 on my Aussie truck covers so much better.
