I'll hop on this ride. It's a kit, on my list.

Goldman
Great progress. The engine does look good

Sorry to hear about your tanks, Ken. I've heard nothing but bad news, about Rustoleum clear. Thankfully, we don't have it over here, but I've had the same thing happen, with a cheap clear, I once used. Basically, it was too hot, for the paint. This kit reminds me very much of my Hideout Truck, but the frame is longer on mine. I did enjoy the build though, despite it being a bit of work. Keep going mate, you're doing an awesome job! Remember to test fit all the plumbing, before you commit to glue? It's a lot of fingers and thumbs! Just find that easiest way for you and use the directions as a guide, not the bible. 👍

Now this is my idea of MY LITTLE PONY ! Gorgeous ! 👍

Phil M
thanks bob, a really nice model kit

Nigel Chapman
Really nice. How do you arrange your photos?

Phil M
a background, for the motion I used a photo of a racetrack that I modified quickly using motion blur on photoshop. I put my models on it...then I use motion blur for parts of the car and radial blur for the wheels with a bit of gaussian blur to mix them well....its fairly simple.

Martin Oostrom
My mind is blurred by your 'simple' blurring techniques 🤪
I adore the car in this livery. So striking and really, really well built. One to be proud of Phil 👍🏻

Neuling
Top build and presentation!

George Williams
Very nice, I don't know why we don't see more of these kits built up.

Stéphane Jayet
Really good !

Phil M
thanks

Bob Hall
Sweet Pony !

Phil M
haha ty!

Michael Schubert
That..is just beautiful, very very nicely done

Phil M
Thanks Michael

Steady progress. Did you light the stern?

Thomas Wirsching
Great job so far! I would love to get an explanation about how to do these LED lighting in detail as I have no idea about this.

Hang Li
Thanks Tim, Villiers, and Thomas. I did put a led for the trolled sonar bay back at the stern. It is apparently not bright enough to be really visible. Probably not noticeable after finished.

I prefer to use Led tape light as it has build in resistors so I don't need do calculation to figure out the resistor value. Once that is sorted, what left is just connect the led unit with a battery and a switch. I think it is better to ask a trained electrician as the circiut I built don't last long and I don't really know why.

Michael Kohl
I expect modelling of the highest quality from your bench. So far I am not disappointed. 🙂
Keep it up.

Treehugger
Hm, how long did it take to make the nice looking ocean surface? It certainly looks like a fun project.
I wish I knew how to make such ocean surfaces, as it really seem to complete a model with such a diorama.

I am no expert on led's but my impression is that one has to be careful that the voltage to the led's is controlled to specs, so they don't burn out shortly after and end up being un-repairable inside the model. Also, something about connecting led's in parallel, pattern iirc, to avoid one dead led blacking out all the rest of the leds in a serial connection, iirc.

Thomas Wirsching
Your build is already mindblowing; 漂亮]!

Tim
Your sea base is looking really nice.

Hang Li
Thanks Treehugger, THomas and Tim.
As for the sea base, you can check a YouTube channel called ''studio blue ocean'', I basically followed his videos. And treehugger did a pretty good summary for LEDs. The voltages is very important and it is always needed to put some resistors in series to potect the LEDs. The size of the resistors can be calculated with ohms' law. There are small circuit boards for LEDs which can be used to make everything easier.

Rui S
Impressive work 👍

Villiers de Vos
Fantastic work with all the photoetch parts. Your attention to detail shows.

Thomas Wirsching
Getting better and better; can you please show us a detail picture from the inside of the hangar? Did you build this from scratch?

Hang Li
Thanks, Rui and Villiers. I just masked the hangar as I am going to paint the outside. I will get better hangar photos once finish. The trumpster kit comes with the hangar and the ceiling is in good detail (I only add LEDs to the ceiling). Only the walls need additional work to add details, like handrails, supports etc.

Ingmar Stöhr
Wow! Fantastic detail work and great job on the weathering and the base!

Gary Victory
Really nice work Hang. Looking like a great build.

Villiers de Vos
Fantastic finish.

Ingmar Stöhr
@Hang Li: For the 'oil canning' effect. Did you have accurate plans for the frame spacing or how did you come up with the pattern you used? I have to say that is look really convincing after some more weathering effects are applied on top.

Hang Li
thanks Ingmar, Gary and Villiers. As for the 'oil canning' effect, I found some photos which are somewhat visible for this effect as reference for the pattern and I have to simplifie the pattern to make it practical. So it is not quite accurate. I got some pre-cutted masking paper in 1mm, 2mm, and 3mm and I just picked one that I believe is most suitable.

Ingmar Stöhr
Thank you for the explanation! It looks convincing to me! Keep up the great work!

Michael Kohl
That oil can effect worked really great.

Miguel Vaquero
Amazing build!! Did you use resin for the sea base? If so, how did you manage to make that rough sea surface? It looks amazing

Jörg Schäfer
Great job. 👍

Thomas Wirsching
astonishing build and breathtaking seascape. Hats off to your talent!

Guy Rump
Looking great, following. 👍

Ingmar Stöhr
Looking really convincing so far!

Hang Li
Thanks, everyone. As for the material used for the sea base, I normally use high-density insulation foam (blue sheet from my early photos) and clay. I think many people build diorama this way. I believe there are more sophisticated methods nowadays. I saw someone using CFD modeling to simulate the wave pattern and 3D printing the entiry sea base in Chinese formus.

Łukasz Gliński
Bachstelze in 1/400?! I'm curious 😄

DerMattes
Watching 👍

Transall NG
So, let's see what color you choosed for the rear fuselage reich defense band !
Good luck !

Andrea Brenco
KG(J) 6 red and black checkered fuselage band!

Transall NG
Yes, this picture is the better one of this plane, and even if both colors look black, one can guess the separation.
Good luck !

Guy Rump
Looking great! 👍
