Oliver Hazard Perry Build

Final coat of varnish after attaching the flight deck nets. She looks amazing.
Пројекат: USS Ford (FFG-54)

NLAWScametovisitSorry for the delay on updates! The OHP long hull decals from floating Dry dock are still in the mail, as are PE for the flight deck nets and bridge antennae. Hopefully it all gets here soon!
19 June, 17:23
NLAWScametovisitSo, she's all done and there's some good workbench pics of her up, but I'm waiting to find time to do some cleaner pictures of her in her finished state before I officially complete the project.

Andrew PAmbitious project, and it turned out really well. Thanks for sharing and detail your experiences with the build.
16 August, 03:40
NLAWScametovisitThank you all for the feedback and support! I really loved building this kit, and I loved all the details of the OHP class that I learned in the process. This kit really was an amazing way to get into modeling.

Alex KAnother Gorby-licious small-scale "weird" (we wouldn't want you any other way) creation... Definitely in! 👍
10 August, 15:13
gorbyWelcome to the show Alex and thanks very much. 🙂
The buildy bit is nearly complete so, as usual I'm playing catch-up with the report. Hopefully another update tomorrow. 🙂
10 August, 16:35
Jay DubyaFront row seat, on the bleachers, please Gorby. I wouldn't want to crane my neck to see!
11 August, 01:47
John HughesAnother build in the series "What's gorby up to now?" Be honest, though. The only reason you didn't have orange flares was that you couldn't get over the fence at the local airfield to steal a couple of windsocks!
11 August, 08:28
Kesa TihoI dont understand anything thats going on but i hope your build turns out absolutely stunning
11 August, 08:41
gorbyThat made me laugh John. 😄
Kesa: I like to buildodd looking vehicles some of which are converted from standard kits. I looooove scratch building.
Thanks both for tagging along. 🙂
11 August, 09:00
Kesa TihoScale models can be converted? So like a F111 model could be fitted with a nuke even though the original model didnt have one?
11 August, 09:03
gorbyDefinitely Kesa, there is a whole range of aftermarket conversions you can buy or if you are feeling adventurous, some conversions are reasonably easy to scratch build yourself. I have a couple of drawers full of plastic sheet of various thickness and plastic and metal rods, tubes, strips etc. I once saw a fantastic large scale scratch build of a B17 build that used the plastic from yogurt pots as the skin.
11 August, 10:56
gorbyExcellent!
I found a link to the B17 I mentioned. It shows what is possible:

David TaylorHi Gorby.On the real truck there is a winch as a standard fit in the middle.
12 August, 18:27
Spanjaardamazing job my friend. not tobe missed, certainly
thanks for the link to that 1:20 B17, it is out of this world.....
12 August, 19:14
gorbyThanks David, that might have been the reason. 👍
Thanks Spanjaard. That B17 is one of the best scratch-builds I've ever seen - well beyond my ability. I think he sold it to a museum in the US.
13 August, 06:42
gorbyNew photos start at number 18.
I hope to complete the build today and hopefully take some photos in the next couple of days.
Thanks for tagging along. 👍
14 August, 09:37
David TaylorLooking at the pic Gorby the driver is reversing the truck back to install the engine.Probably a hand winch with a ratchet.
14 August, 14:39
gorbyThanks mates. 🙂
You could be right David. In the photo the load isn't attached to the crane hook but a hoop on the jib, as you say, probably using a hand winch. I have three photos of the back of various versions of this vehicle and none of them shows anything which might be used to control the crane, so obviously I can't add what I don't see. Thanks for your comment. 👍
15 August, 07:17
gorbyCharging ahead with my next build I nearly forgot to post the completed pics of this thing. Hope you like how it's turned out. 🙂
17 August, 13:31
CaptGPFWow Gorby! Your attention to detail + interesting subject matters are always a joy to watch! I love how you stepped us through the scratch build process and you approach to modeling - very much appreciated!
17 August, 15:36
gorbyWow I'm really taken aback by the response to this one. Lovely comments, thank you all. 🙂
John: My next build is well advanced and hopefully I'll be putting it on here next week. This time it's a full scratchbuild, although not on the scale of my last traction engine. 👍
18 August, 05:55
Martin OostromAnother fine addition to Gorby's house of haunted vehicles. Great job!
18 August, 06:52
gorby😄 😄 😄
That made me laugh Martin. Thanks for your comment. Perhaps 'deranged vehicles' might be more fitting. 😄

Mi-1M, model conversion by Special Hobby - WIP
1:48
I polished the epoxy templates and drilled holes in the underside, into which I glued the wooden log. I used the blocks ...
Пројекат: Mil Mi-1M Czech Air Force
8 15 August, 08:24
Ludvík KružíkI still miss this small helicopter in my collection of flying machines used in Czechoslovakia. The time has come for me to rectify that. 😉
15 August, 09:26
Ludvík KružíkHello, Greg. I know there's a Mi-1M kit in 1/72nd scale. Unfortunately, only this and a rather old kit from Special Hobby exists in 1/48 scale. In addition, this kit is an older version of the Mi-1A, which is different from the upgraded version of the Mi-1M. It has a different nose shape, different cockpit glazing and other minor changes. And since I decided to build the upgraded version of the Mi-1M, I will not avoid modifications to the kit.
To give you a better idea of the extent of the modifications to the kit, I've included a picture with the differences between the Mi-1A and Mi-1M versions color coded.
16 August, 22:23
Greg BakerOh, neat! I didn't realize there were so many changes between the versions. This is going to look great!
17 August, 15:09
Ludvík KružíkGreg, thank you for your support.

Thomas KolbWhile waiting for some paints to arrive in the mail to continue my MiG-23 build project, I decided to do a very quick build of the Eduard L-39 in my stash. This kit is labeled as a "weekend" build, which might be a bit optimistic for me, but should still be a quick progress.
14 June, 07:14
ClementDo you already have a plan for the shades you're going to use? I found the L-39 classic camouflage very hard to get right. I hope you'll have more luck with it.
14 June, 17:32
ClementThanks @Łukasz, well spotted!

Thomas KolbFor the Hungarian standard camo, MRP has released an entire set, consisting of MRP-351 Brown, MRP-352 Dark Green and MRP-353 Light Blue.
18 June, 16:11
Thomas KolbYesterday I spent some time comparing the hue and tint of the MRP paints with my own mix of Tamiya acrylics (as described in photo 26 above), and found them to be absolutely identical. I also found the MRP paints much too smelly and aggressive and hard to adjust if you want to blend in slightly varying tones in panels etc. The Tamiyas can furthermore be used for extremely diluted thin filter applications, while the MRP are block solid.
19 June, 06:49
ClementWell done on those paints!
I agree with you, Tamiya paints spray great and don't smell nearly as nasty as MRP's.
19 June, 13:22
Łukasz GlińskiI see you mixed too much of this colour and used it on the background 😋
Lovely preshading, sth I don't have enough patience for
21 June, 10:31
CuajeteVery nice painting job, Thomas. Looks fantastic so far 👍
I recently saw that Edward has released the transparent parts of this kit as "L-39 Revised Canopy":
L-39 Revised Canopy (Eduard 7040Y, 1:72)
Do you know what problem the original transparent parts have?
24 July, 17:49
Thomas KolbCuajete, thank you! No, I wasn't aware of any issues with the canopy. To me, the version provided in the kit is good enough, it certainly looks correct compared with photos.
24 July, 19:53
NicolasI'm not sure, but the kit photos show onle the multi part canopy. The revised Canopy kit also has a single peace closed version.
25 July, 04:27
Thomas KolbNicolas, yes, you are right. With the new set you also get a closed canopy so the builder doesn't have to join the separate pieces together. I guess it makes for a simpler build.
25 July, 06:07
Nicolas@ Cuajete: I tried it direktly from Thomas' albums. There it works, but ther is a notice that comments are disabled.
26 July, 18:00
Moreno BaruffiniVery nice! This build reminds me that I started a similar kit more thas ten years ago, with a Czech camo and some decals already applied...Now It's om the "shelf od doom" ...Maybe something I'll retake it!
27 July, 20:07
Thomas KolbAnd with a little effort, the project is pushed over the finishing line. Photos will come soon!
17 August, 16:10
Mr DDone a nice job there buddy, l really liked the cockpit on this one, nice colour n details.well done...👍👍👍
