Alexander GrivonevI waited for someone to notice actually 😄 I was on vacation in NL last year and you know what? Spent actually a night in Dordrecht but didn't even bother to check for model shops...

Spanjaardi was there actually a few months ago. i was just walking in the city and found it, i could not resist entering and buying some stuff, very nice shop! and now, let see the masterclass in car modelling. lovely work on that seat, love the blue trim 🙂

Byronamazing ideas for the seat piping, headrest and seatbelt loop, if you don't mind I'll steal them.
Amazing work sofar.

Alexander GrivonevWelcome boys, welcome.
Byron, we don't steal around here, we *get inspired*

bossy122Considering the manufacturer, that headlight cover actually fits pretty well. Ever tried a 962C? There's some ill fitting headlights.

yngvenettFollowing this to learn. I would like to know what cord you're using on the beautiful seats. Inspiring to see what you're doing with them. Also how will you be able to make it look like fabric on them?

Alexander GrivonevHi yngvenett, the cord is just blue isolated wire, the thinnest I had in my stash. I think this one is 0,25mm buth there are thinner ones you can buy. For the seats, just keep an eye open, will post updates the next days 👍

CasModelerHey. Interesting idea with that blue upholstery. I'll share with you a tip that I recently tested. For better reproduction of fabric seats, you can try adding 10-15% Mr Color C188(Flat Base Rough) paint to the blue paint. The rough surface will enhance the matte and the seats will be more realistic. Of course, I mean only those parts on the seats that are blue in color. Regards.

Alexander GrivonevHey Cas, yeah something of this kind was my idea too. Just making the surface extra flat will get you a nice "fuzzy" texture

Martin OostromApply some thinned mr surfacer and tap with the tip of a brush can give a rougher texture as well.

bughunterEvery time I see your great paint jobs, I think: Noch viel lernen ich muss! 😉

Alexander GrivonevThx guys!
@Martin & Bozzer: didn't expect that many animal abusers around here 🤔 😄
yes Mr. bughunter, you obviously are a rookie modeler, please consult me anytime you like if you want any tips 😛

Martin OostromOur resident cat annoys me each night by sleeping on my leg while I want to sleep. She gets flying lessons every night, yet returns each night.

Alexander Grivonev"Our resident cat" sounds very affectionate 😄 almost like "our resident evil"

bughunterAfter the pictures around number 53, I was curious to see what you would make of it! Really amazing how you saved the project 👍

Alec KAlways a pleasure to watch your builds, so many cool tips and techniques. Following along 👍

Martin OostromMr Shiny strikes again. Another great build with a bunch of lessons included. A true Master, you are.

Kyle DeHartI've been wondering about those markers. I like the look of them but haven't talked much to people that have used them.
26 November, 08:24
BozzerYep, those markers have my interest too. I have some cheaper versions, with long nibs, from a Chinese website, that are quite effective, but need a bit of work, for great results? The AK markers, might be the answer.
26 November, 08:30
Alexander GrivonevThe markers are great, bought the set just recently and tested a few colors. Until now I am sold on them. The paint dries fast, but not on the marker tip. Which is soft, cone shaped like a brush with a fine tip for small detail. The only complaint I have until now that one of the lighter colors I used (ivory) does not cover too well and needs reapplication. On the other hand the metal shades are surprisingly good and very realistic. All in all I think this is a great product, very convenent and a real game changer in modeling.
26 November, 20:17
Alexander GrivonevHowever they have to stand the test of time. If they don't degrade in a couple of years or the paint dries inside or sth, but I am positive the guys at AK have thought of everything and released a good product
26 November, 20:21
BozzerI'm definitely sold on the idea. I'll pick some up and test them out. Thanks for the info, Alexander 👍

Michael KohlOh. Wladimir Iljic will turn in his grave when he figures that you used his proud bolshewic stars to improve this turbo capitalist car. 😉

TreehuggerI have some (other brand) chrome pens, I put them in a plastic box hoping it would help with longevity, but I guess the plastic caps are solid on these pens. Maybe the plastic box doesn't help much.
Oh, wow they sell the entire set (sold out ofc): ak-interactive.com/p..rc-markers-34-units/

Alexander GrivonevWladimir should be glad I did not use a USSR banner 😄. The stars has the proper shade of red so they had to sacrifice themselves
