Commenti
Robert PodkońskiFantastic work! (and you are right, the paper model was first issued long time ago in "Mały modelarz" periodical - my father completed her when I was a kid)
David R. MeizosoA beauty. You also managed to master so many different materials and techniques. Congrats!

This is my big project. The story of this submarine is strongly connected to Estonian history and besides, it's such a beautiful ship, so I just had to do it. And not in 1/400, but 1/72.
I found a Chinese company that offered a paper models on several scales. I later learned that it was a copy of a former Modelarz paper model that appeared in a magazine.
I didn't know if this copy was legal, and I didn't want to make a model out of paper. So I decided to put Chinese paper on plywood. This is how the frame was born, which I later shaped with different materials. Finally, my model is made of plywood, wood, plastic, resin, aluminum, copper, paper, and more. It took me a very long time and effort, but I am more satisfied with the end result than I could have hoped at first.
