Bernhard Schrock Schrijver
By accident I had an idea for a funny scene yesterday. The crucial think was to find a running figure an a little motor for running propeller. Today I had to play dr. Frankenstein to get the right shape of my running mechanic...
Choppa: Not really in flight but with turning prop and in "motion" (mechanic AND his plane...🙂 )

Believe it or not: Tamiyas kit of the Buffalo is more than 40 years old. Amazingly it can still keep up with today's standards. Unfortunately the kit offers clear parts for closed configuration of the cockpit: all three parts (windscreen, moveable part and the turtle deck) are molded together. Separating the parts does not help because the thickness of the material the middle (moveable) part is too high.
About 20 years ago I already build the Buffalo and vacumformed all three parts using my toaster. Just now I found leftover parts in my "vacumformed spare parts box"!!!!! Surprise!

Thank you Mates. Im glad that you like my Barrel.🙂
Nearly for one week I tried to make the airplane's name. The first run with pencil and red ink was not satisfying. Then I tried a copy of a pc-drawing via laser printer. It worked but I was not satisfied with the result again. At last I tried the same at home using our Brother ink jet printer and ink jet decal paper. Again without success.
At last I used red dry transfers for the letters and Lines for the bolt. Had I known this earlier...😉

 28 February, 15:41
Skyhiker Schrijver
I've decided with this model not to get caught up in Advanced Modelling Syndrome by correcting the design but rather try to work with the kit. This presents it's own challenges seeing as I have to adjust and connect misaligned parts without damaging the raised panel lines. But I hope that even with this extra work it will still be faster to build than correcting the design.

I have a sneaking suspicion that Zvezda mixed resins or other poisonous chemicals in with their styrene. I got a reaction in my sinuses, from sanding the plastic, which I've never had before. I really need to get better at taking more precautions with this hobby.
1  1 March, 20:39
Jennifer Franklin
It is good to know that I have to watch with any Zvezda kits I may buy. That is a terrible practice on their part.
 1 March, 21:48
Skyhiker Schrijver
Maybe it was from the debonder or maybe it's just a coincidence. I don't know. Zvezda is based in Russia, I'm not sure how controlled the plastics are there or how bad the black market is for chemicals. I doubt Zvezda would intentionally use toxic chemicals. If there is an issue I would imagine it to be with their supplier.

Zvezda (Star) from Russia is next to Amodel and Modelsvit from Ukraine my preffered choice for Russian jet fighter, i have, let me think, 100 kits from Zvezda bought in Russia and never experienced any problems on their polystyrenes. The usual wet decals got better recently, but still sub-standard (always auf Begemont on standby), but most importantly i get model variation that nobody else has, and some of their scales are pretty accurate. You also find their makes back in Revell or Italerie cartons. Amodel is horror and real sanding nightmare in terms of fit and accuracy. On this SU-30 i gonna watch and with excitment.

 3 March, 22:01
Mr D
Nice Aircraft, l really like a Zvezda kit 👍
It's a sanction's issue with Zvezda supply! It's the government's that war with each other! the people suffer.
The SU-30 is a great looking aircraft, l really enjoyed the paint job on the little 1:144 l just finished.
Got the 1:144 Berkut in now Skyhiker 👍
1  3 March, 22:03
Skyhiker Schrijver
Mr D, It's unfortunate the crazy times we are living in. l bought my Zvezda kit on Kleinanzeigen when I bought someone's entire stash so it only cost me 5 euros. Sometimes you can still find good deals online.

The Flankers really have very elegant and sleek designs. For jets they're beautiful.

Lol, well the kit engines were just so wrong they need some adjustments.
1  5 March, 15:37
Skyhiker Schrijver
After priming the model and improving the engine details I spent most of the day mixing colors trying to find the correct tones for this plane. Eventually I figured it out.
1  5 March, 19:02
Mr D
What colour scheme are you going for ?
The tricolour blue's and Gray?
Like the extra exhaust details.....will be much better now.👍👍

David Guzman
Following this project
 5 March, 20:28
Skyhiker Schrijver
Mr D, yes I am re-creating one of the first Su-30s delivered, so it has blues and grey. It is not as vibrant as the later planes. I had to mix a few colors to get an accurate color tone. I posted a photo of the paint test. Good Russian colors are hard to find and I don't use laquers anymore for health reasons. If it doesn't clean up with water or alcohol I prefer not to use it.
1  5 March, 20:45
DerMattes
You going for the Vallejo Model Air 71.334, 71.335 and 71.337 or similar blues and grey?
 5 March, 20:49
Skyhiker Schrijver
I'm not sure. I don't normally use Vallejo because they're too rubbery, tough to spray and tend not to sand well. They do brush on quite nicely though. I posted an image of the color test. I generally use AK 3rd generation because of their accurate colors or Aquaous because they are just great paints that sand well. I do have a decent amount of laquers and enamels but I try not to use them to avoid the chemicals.
 5 March, 21:03
DerMattes
I did a Su-27 with the Vallejo colors, if you want to compare.
1  5 March, 21:06
Skyhiker Schrijver
Yeah, those colors are pretty close. Nice job on the 27. How did the paint work out for you? Like I said I pretty much gave up on Vallejo.
1  5 March, 21:12
Skyhiker Schrijver
Melf Boyens, it's good to hear you haven't had any issues with Zvezda kits since I have an awful lot of Russian planes to build and most of the kits are from Russia or Ukraine. I assume the problem I was experiencing was a reaction to the debonder. I just have to remember to wear a mask and gloves more often.
 5 March, 21:31
DerMattes
I hear that a lot about Vallejo and they work for me. The mecha primer is awful, but the colors are different. I think most of the problems come from differences in humidity and temperature, they seem to be sensitive on that or people overthin them because everywhere are the laquer thinning ratios mentioned, wthout context. I go for unthinned Model Air or only a drop of thinner and slightly under 25psi. But most of my tip dry and clogging problems went away after I switched to the H&S Evolution '24 and shaking the paint with a vortex mixer for ~30 - 40s.
 5 March, 21:54
Skyhiker Schrijver
A vortex mixer is a good idea. I hadn't thought of that. I got a H&S Infinity Two in One this Christmas. With the biggest needle it might work but the 0.15 would probably be too small for Vallejo. I might try them out again with my cheap GANZTON airbrush first beforehand.
1  6 March, 00:29
Mr D
Hi Skyhiker, I've recently been using lCM water based paints, l mixed some decent Su-30 colours for my latest build from ICM, they dry nice and hard too, need alot of thinning as they are very thick.
Your right.... Health first 😃👍
 6 March, 17:22
Skyhiker Schrijver
I didn't know ICM made paints. Aren't they from Ukraine? I'll have to keep my eyes open for them. Ok I see they have a whole range:
3004 Palette of 80 colors, ICM , Acrylic, 80x 12ml
 6 March, 21:01

 8 March, 15:59

Some nice progress 👍👍 can see some nice shading there,
Yes they are from Ukrainia, they have definitely helped me out with colour matching, l first used them on my Yak3 as they did a soviet aviation pack.
Good luck on next paint stage 😀👍

Mr. D, I did add panel shading on this one, although I always try to layer over it enough to make it as subtle as possible. You would never find a real plane that has anything that looks like panel shading. Most people overdo this technique, but I think if you blend it in enough it can add some depth to the model without looking too strange.

 11 March, 11:11
Skyhiker Schrijver
Well I'm not convinced with the colors, the hue of the dark blue is too cyan colored. I may need to go buy some other paint.
 11 March, 13:03
Skyhiker Schrijver
I went and bought a bunch of paint only to come home to find out they are all colors that don't look like the real thing. I tried Vallejo air and Hataka acrylics. I even bought a few 3rd generation general colors to see if I could get close since they don't make Russian colors. But all to no avail. I guess I will have to mix my own. At least I know I can mix a decent color if I have the proper primary base.
 11 March, 20:19
Jennifer Franklin
Thanks, Mr D, that was good to know.
 12 March, 01:01
Skyhiker Schrijver
I'm not sure if you can see the difference but I adjusted the blue to a more accurate hue. I hate mixing my own colors because it takes time that I'd rather spend building. When you have to mix the same color later, even if you write down the formula the colors are always a little bit different and you have to spend time adjusting them. This is because the drops from the bottle aren't exactly the same amount every time and the paint isn't always mixed well enough inside the bottle. But sometimes there just isn't any choice. I was surprised how off some of the colors I bought as Flanker sets were. They worked together as a set but they didn't look anything like the real jets and simply weren't realistic.
 12 March, 12:18
Skyhiker Schrijver
The decals are pretty yellowed and not accurate. I'm going to have to paint parts to make it presentable.
 12 March, 15:11
Jennifer Franklin
Skyhiker, I've been spending a ton of time on various YouTube sites, painting minis, visiting artists' sites, etc., trying to learn as much as I can. One suggestion coming from an artist's site is that when you mix your own paint, mix enough and then put it in a container so that you have some for later, like an empty paint jar. I wish I had known this for the Memphis Belle as I had to mix paints repeatedly, and I ended up with a patchwork of colours as I repeatedly tried to reproduce the same colour.
 12 March, 17:05
Skyhiker Schrijver
I usually mix enough paint for the build and store it in jars but if I ever need to make repairs after its built, say if it gets scratched or something breaks off, I have to remix the paint because the paints usually dry out after a while. It's not a problem, but I just don't like doing it.
1  12 March, 20:21
Mr D
It looks right now l think, I've looked at some early SU-30 photos and l think your there now.
I find colour go a little darker after the clear coat .

Skyhiker Schrijver
Several of the photos I have looked at have similar colors to the Hataka paints. Interesting this plane seems to have been repainted with more vibrant colors at some point. Colors aren't standardized in Russia like other air forces, hence the confusion.
 15 March, 12:58
Skyhiker Schrijver
I will try using the Hataka colors for the SU-27UB that I have in my stash when I build it.

The engines sort of worked but I think after the weathering they will look even better. Using acrylic for this kind of job is all new to me. I need to use water based paints from now on unless absolutely necessary.

 19 March, 20:43
Skyhiker Schrijver
I used Aqueous silver H8 as a base and mixed different colors into it with other acrylics. I find Aqueous to be one of the best water based paints. But if you need a chrome finish then you have to go with enamel such as Xtreme metal or a lacquer like Alclad II metal
1  19 March, 22:48

Excellent work as usual. I still think this is an ugly plane though. Whoever designed it must have been on a bad trip.
2  12 March, 13:34
bughunter Schrijver
Another big Thank you all for your kind words!

@Skyhiker The design was made under strict requirements: it had to fit into the bomb bay of the B-36! Therefore folded wings were a must, the multiple control surfaces at the tail as well and of course the hook is the visible area of the pilot. It also needs actuators for the wing and hook, four guns with ammunition and fuel, all of which need space in the short fuselage - so there was no other way than this egg design. The design was good enough to achieve good performance figures - the "only" problem was the strong turbulence from the mother plane, so it was assumed that a normal pilot would not be able to hook on back.

gorby
That's one of the reasons it's one of my favourite aircraft. It's remarkable they managed to fit so much into such a small aircraft. I think it's an amazing design.
1  12 March, 15:08

gorby, the unique design and the look (together with the carrier) invited me to buy and tackle this kit.

If anyone would like to see this model live - this weekend is your chance! I will be showing it, along with others, at my club's exhibition in Ergolding here:

 1 April, 12:14
bughunter
There is news regarding our beloved plastic modelling from the European Union. No, it is not to be banned, but adjustments are being demanded with regard to environmental friendliness. It is about the ratio of the often few parts (not a problem in itself) in relation to the gigantic amount of moulding sprues that end up in the waste! It is obvious that the new large 1:16 kits will be particularly affected.

Innovative manufacturers such as Eduard are already working on appropriate procedures. The process itself is not new, and there is already literature on the subject, e.g. here (Please see the description about the many advantages!)
link.springer.com/ch../978-94-009-4946-1_4

The practical problems in our field are more likely to be how to label the parts and then reference them in the manuals. It will also be more difficult to check used kits for completeness if all the parts are tumbling around in the boxes without moulding sprues. Small parts in particular, such as those for 1:700 scale ships, will also be easier to lose.

Dominik Weitzer Schrijver
THANK you very much for all kind words! Much appreciated and overwhelmed.

This kit was not love on the first sight...i hate the orange plastic to paint...so i decided to use "real car primer" for a basecoat (rusteybrownred) and painted "altweiß" without clearcoat. i wanted an old look, not tooo old - still well used.
The body is sanded till the basecoat came thru and the rest was "easypeasy" with the rust.
About three month later i found the surfboards and built the roofrack.
Now, i like that bus a lot. all doors are still funktional 😉

@Neuling: agree. my favorite parts also are the hubcaps. And the front wheel :-D
@Martin: S O R R Y . Still be friends :-? pleeeeeeeease....

Nicely done, I like it. I have the same kit and I'm planning to do it like a car that was used in my grandfather's little construction company, back in the early 70's. It was some shade of solid blue, IIRC from my childhood days. 🙂

Hallo Bernhard, sehr schönes Thema und klasse umgesetzt. Aber mit der Kabinenhaube habe ich mein Problem. Auf der Zeichnung ist es eine zweiteilige Haube mit Frontscheibe und beweglichem Teil dahinter. Bei Deinem Modell besteht die Haube aus drei Teilen. Hast Du das absichtlich gemacht? Oder hab ich da was übersehen?
 26 April 2018, 07:50
Bernhard Schrock Schrijver
Moin Siegfried, gut beobachtet (Eagle eye). Bei der Zeichnung handelt es sich um den Reißbrett-Entwurf, bei dem auch noch nicht Oberflächenkühlung Thema war und der Ölkühler in einer speziellen Konfi ohne Kinneinlass auskam. Die Zeit vor dem Rennen reichte nicht die geplante unverstrebte Windschutzscheibe anzufertigen und so ging das Flugzeug mit der klassischen dreiteiligem Haube an den Start. Hat offensichtlich auch so für den Sieg gereicht.

That's a nice interior. Will you make the hull lift off? I personally lack the patience for doing detail that won't be seen. I used to be in the "at least I know it's there" camp but the stash is large and life is short!
 21 March, 20:15
alessandro magrelli Schrijver
Hi John, thanks. I am just like you, if it's not seen, not worth it. In this case the kit expressly direct you not to glue some parts. More specifically top of turret and turret can be removed, drum and drum cover as well. Engine cover can be lifted also. Only the driver seat will be sacrificed but the latch will be open. The kit is very demanding, in terms of patience, the sprues are listed all the way to the letter "Z" and some are duplicated (3 sprues "F"..) and many parts, to get together, direct you through 3 or 4 different sprues. Instructions (30 pages) are not tge best around. It took me a while to start this subject and it is my first (and last) tank, btw...

Nacelles on the wings, starting with the B version of the plane. Decent fit but there is quite some small air bubbles in...

Thank you for all attention and comments. Welcome to the build!
The Saab B-18 is not the most common kit available only in resin or vacu if you what to go for a 1/72. There is 1/48 kit from PilotReplicas to be released sometime. We hope soon!

This track set can also be used on the Amusing Hobby T-80 which I tested after purchasing this set to replace the tracks from the original kit (broke the kit tracks). If used, 76 track links are required on each side instead of 80 as stated on the Amusing Hobby T-80 instructions.

Which color did you use for the green?
1  1 February, 22:15
J35J Schrijver
Thanks mates for your interest.
@Micheal Kohl - I used Tamiya spray paint TS-43 Racing Green for the 1/48 build.
 1 February, 22:27
Michael Kohl
Did you choose it after research, as an (educated) guess or because it looks good - which it does?
1  2 February, 13:57
Christoph Kunz
Taking my seat too.
1  2 February, 14:13
J35J Schrijver
@Michael Kohl - Good question! Researching the green colour for the DH88 took some time and effort.

Reviewing some kit's manuals from different manufacturers the following came up:
• Mikromir: BS381C:225, Light Brunswick Green,
• Airfix: Humbrol Hu3 Brunswick green
• Clear prop: British Racing Green (no code ref mentioned)
• KP: Humbrol Hu3 Brunswick Green, stated as British Racing Green
• S.B.S model: Brunswick green (no code mentioned ref)

Conclusion - BS381C:225, Light Brunswick Green is the colour to go with if you want to be right on spot.
British Racing Green may be a little bit too dark, but it looks very good!😎

It seems to have a good dry fit 👍
1  2 February, 19:48
J35J Schrijver
@Cuajete - Dry fit is quite good regarding wings and airframe, some filler will be needed. The engine nacelles was molded in one piece and the fitting to the wing was perfect. Saved a lot of work.
The cabin is very detailed. A lot of small PE stuff that the rug monster craving for…
1  2 February, 20:00
Michael Kohl
Thanks J35J for your answer. The new ClearProp-kit for the green version recommends Mr. Hobby Color H-383. Just to confuse even more. 😉. But actually you already summed it up in a pretty clear way.

You chose wood for the interior color. This is in line with the recommendation of the red ClearProp machine and the replica, which was left wooden on the inside. Judging from the bw-pictures available to me I interpreted the pretty dark appearance of the interior as black and colored the interior of my model accordingly.

What I missed is the sunshade these machines had. Maybe you want to fashion one for yours.

Thanks Michael for your input. I also went with black interior building the green version in 1/48
This time I will throw in some artistic license and go with wood interior.
The sun shades was new to me. That really need to be considered as I will go with open canopy on this build.

The kit seems to provide more details compared to the MikroMir in 1:48?
1  17 February, 19:54
J35J Schrijver
Thanks bughunter! The kit is excellent with great detail level and fitting.
Resin moulding is top quality. White metal parts for the landing gear have minimum flesh.
Big difference compared the MikroMir 1/48. Would be nice if SBS models also went for a 1/48 version.
 17 February, 20:24
bughunter
All what I have seen from S.B🤔. was that nice.
Another hope is Clear Prop, but until now they provide in 1:48 only a new decal sheet for the MikroMir kit.

Tried AK extreme metal paints for the first time. Wanted an worn alu dope effect and after the first layer it came out too shiny. So went with the matte alu and some flat varnish. Finalized with some light weathering.

Ich werde mit den Filter und Washing Farben noch ein wenig experimentieren um das ganze noch ein bisschen lebendiger zu bekommen. Das kann ich an der Unterseite recht gefahrlos machen, da man die im Diorama kaum sieht.

Ich mag unaufgeräumte Arbeitsplätze nicht. Da ist man nur am Suchen.
@Torsten
Das sind selbst gefertigte Aufnahmen für die Mandibeln. So kann ich sie besser anfassen und lackieren. Einfach ein Stück Gewindestange in ein Kunststoff- und Stahlprofil gesteckt und verschraubt.

Treehugger
Q: Unsure if OP said anything about this, but are the LEDs linked in a serie, or are there multiple wires for all the LEDs?
 11 April 2023, 10:16
Jörg Schäfer Schrijver
Manny thanks..
Two LEDs each are soldered to a cable, since I only had two outputs, Treehugger.
 11 April 2023, 15:12
Treehugger
I have yet to fiddle with LED's for my Enterprise NCC-1701 refit, but I did learn from some place that, if one place LEDs in a serie, then if one LED fail, they all fail. So probably best to have serveral wires around instead of one loop for such LED projects.

Another thing to worry about, is not having the LED die too soon, but I guess that might be just some calibration thing if building all this stuff from scratch.

Heh I invested in a digital power supply for LED projects some years back, but haven't gotten around to using it yet.
 11 April 2023, 16:31
Jörg Schäfer Schrijver
I'm not particularly worried about the LEDs.
They won't often be glowing in the finished model. Maybe at an exhibition or when there are visitors. A permanent light is therefore not provided. It's just a nice gimmick for me

Thank you.
I actually want to try that. I think the last time I was at the EME was in 2014.
If I get the model ready by then, you can count on me. 😉

This is astounding! If I recall correctly, kit-bashing is also what has been done on the actual Death Star model that was built for the movie in 1977.
 22 November 2023, 13:44
Jörg Schäfer Schrijver
Thank you.
Not only the star, but also the falcon were realized with this system.
The guys from ILM were the creators of all of today's aging and scratching methods that we as model makers know and appreciate.

This looks superb Jörg! A really fantastic job. You must be so pleased with this. Im not ready to start mine yet but I intend to build a bespoke coffee table to fit it in.

Me too...
 5 November 2023, 16:10
Nicolas Schrijver
Thanks for watching. I'm not entirely sure what will happen myself, but it will be some kind of diorama with a RC-Airfield and a lake. The not sure part mostly relates to how deep the lake will be and whether I need an additional frame or can I get by with my usual picture frame.
 7 November 2023, 19:42
Nicolas Schrijver
The planes are ready to paint, the lake is redy for the water, about half of the figures are cleand up, but that is a good job for afrer work when I usually get just about 15-30 minutes for modelling per day.
 26 November 2023, 19:55
Nicolas Schrijver
A short update:
The diorama is currently at a standstill because I made a mistake when weighing the resin. The resin is still sticky, but is currently on the radiator to dry (not to cure). I hope that when the resin is halfway solid I can fix the problem with another layer.

Due to the problems with the resin not hardening, I decided to start the base plate all over again. I bought a new picture frame today and have already glued the plywood panel in place. Of course I will try to salvage as many parts as possible from the first attempt, e.g. the bridge and the reed plants from Eduard.
 30 January 2024, 20:32
Nicolas Schrijver
The new construction of the base plate is making good progress.

Thank you both very much. @Atomicdelirium: I Hope to get so far next weekend. Before that, a few washes need to be applied to make the ground more interesting and the aquatic plants need to be added. @Thomas: 1/72 ist mir eigentlich auch lieber, aber als ich die Figuren gesehen habe konnte ich nicht wiederstehen.

Łukasz Gliński
Regarding the Walrus' windows - decal stripes perhaps? Black or silver?
 18 February 2024, 19:42
Nicolas Schrijver
Hi Łukasz, thanks for the Idea. I will use an Instruction, scale it down and cut the decals from an "Balkenkreuz" decal from the sparesbox.

Today I tried again with the water. My diorama seems to be tight this time, although the water level has also dropped this time. Hopefully everything will be hard too. But I won't be able to say for a few days. There won't be any pictures until then, unfortunately the diorama can't be moved at the moment.
 18 February 2024, 20:01
Jennifer Franklin
My fingers are crossed it works out this time.
 18 February 2024, 20:41
David Taylor
Is this a stealth fighter.
 18 February 2024, 20:56
Nicolas Schrijver
Thanks Jennifer. This Time it worked better. There is still some internal leakage, as the water level droped about 3 mm over night, but there is no resin on the outside. The resin-residue in the mixing container is after 26 h harder than the first try after 2 month. But with about 5 days cureing time I'm not totally sure yet.
 19 February 2024, 18:59
Nicolas Schrijver
I made good progress this weekend, but I discovered, that "planting" the reeds is suprisingly time consuming with about half of it done in nearly 5 hours.

Since I didn't get to build last weekend due to a hand injury and my visit to the exhibition, I made some progress on the diorama this weekend. Almost 3 hours of work on grass and reeds, as well as the first flowers and preparations for the first bushes / trees and the place for the couple in the reeds have taken place.
 10 March 2024, 20:07
Shar Dipree
Get well soon. Looks good so far. I think the lake turned out great with the stuff floating in it.
 10 March 2024, 20:36
Nicolas Schrijver
Hi Shar, thank you. The lake isn't done. The floating stuff is there just by acident. I'm going to clean is, add some drifting wood in the reeds and a second layer of resin. Than the 2 boats and all the floating gras can be added and fixed with some water effects. I do it that way for two reasons:
1: I got the leak where resin went missing under the frame and the water level is not high enogh.
2: I hope the resin in the first layer has seald the gaps in the reeds, so the second layer will not "climb" due to the capillary effect.
 11 March 2024, 06:06
Nicolas Schrijver
This weekend I didn't do much, but still a little bit of progress.
 17 March 2024, 19:26
Nicolas Schrijver
Thanks for your interest and the likes.
Last week I worked at the figures, partly repainting with acrylics, and starting modifying everything with oils. Work still in progress. there are 2 figures I don't realy like so far, perhaps that will change after a matt coat.
 28 March 2024, 20:31
Nicolas Schrijver
Most of the parts ar together now. Having trouble with my Printer means the decals for the Windows of the plane are still missing. I also realized today that I forgot to build toolboxes, so I made up for that today.
Thanks for your likes and your interest.

I didn't manage tho get the cockpitwindows from Decals to my liking, so I used paint today. the result is not perfekt but I can life with it.

Your dio is not only filled with life it is filled with several different stories. So wonderful! So much love for detail! I enjoyed the whole ride from the beginning. As I finally saw the last plane, I thought it would have been a funny twist if it would have been a camera drone over the reed. 😄
Great work, keep it going! 👍

Thanks you for your kind words. I realy like the Idea with the camera drone. Perhaps I use is with one of my future projects.
