Hi,
Building the kit was quite easy. Bandai’s engineering is state of the art, a lot of fun making it all. I glued the parts together, and the main challenge was not to build…
Hello,
My new project will be the 1/700 model ship of the Chikyu by Bandai.
Adeep sea drilling ship, will be a very challenging model to build because of all the required detailing and painting.
I can’t wait to build it :)..
Thanks for looking,
Eyal.
Hi,
When everything was done, I glued the ship to the base, and then all the various sub assemblies.
Next I weathered the ship using oil colors, and lastly dry brushed very…
Hi,
After building is done, I masked the lower red hull, and sprayed the model with gray adrylic primer. Next I airbrushed the model with light gray. I use Tamiya’s acrylic…
I don’t have too mush experience with painting wood deck but what I did is:
paint the deck in Vallejo iraqui sand, then paint very thin strips with a fine brush, the strips are brown, dark brown, light san ETC. Then mix very…[Read more]
Thank you very much!
I wish it was perfect as you say, probably mean I managed to hide the errors with my photographs.. ;).
I think that mostly do a controlled weathering with pin wash is the trick.
I’ll take pictures of the weathering process for next building log, it is very simple an technical.
Hi,
Thank you very much, I did some comission work in the past, but mostly build as a hobby.
I’m not sure what will happen to a ship model if sent by mail, it is much more delicate than AFV models whiich I usually sent?
My next project will the the French WWII battleship Richelieu.
the model is from Trumpeter, and I’ll add to it Flyhawk extensive PE set, and wooden deck.
Do you sell any of your models or are they for your personal collection? I’m not really into ships but your models are awesome and was just wondering what it would take to get my hands on one.

Hi,
I’ve recieved a couple of yard crane barges. These are two little kits made by Lion roar, and arre really two gems.
Building was straightforwards, cleaning the resin,…
Thank you very much, actually it doesn’t take too long:
build the planes – I hate the clear plastic, I can’t see what I’m doing..
then primed them with spray can.
Paint brush them in light gray, I’ve used Vallejo light gray mixed with white.
Paint black details with fine brush, and last glue everything and wash with oil colors.
I also add the…[Read more]

Hi,
After applying the wash, the models start to look better and less toyish. I’m always anxious to get to the weathering as after painting they look so bad..
Hi,
I finally found time to paint the mode, and sprayed them a couple of light gray layers of Tamiya acrylic paint.
When dry, I sprayed a couple of Tamiya clear layers, to…
The LHD-1 was a much more complex building project, which is what I love about building model ships in this scale, adding the PE bring the model to life with details, and it…
Building the LPD-21 is very simple. The ship is ultra modern style, with geometric hull .
To find the places for the railing I had to find suitable reference, and actually…
Hi,
My next building log will be of 2 ships. As finding time to airbrush is difficult for me, I thougt of building as much as I can and then painiting the models…
Hi,
The model is finished, Glued everything together, and weathered using oil colors.
For weathering I started with a filter of gray oil color, and then streaked along the…
