  1. Thank you for your comment, ccoyle. I thought this isn't enough level for helping others who want to build the same kit. This project was quite straight and easy, which I didn't polish gate and parting lines. I tend to upload more unique and difficult projects in the gallery. 😎
  2. This is a M1224A1 Maxx Pro Mine Resistant Ambush Protected Expedient Armor Program All Terrain Vehicle. The kit is from Galaxy Hobby. (1/72, GH72A04) Where are my international parcels! (No thanks to emergency martial law.)
  3. I agree with that. I watched some lecture videos for AFV and tank models, and found that the technique isn't suitable for 1/72 mini scale aircraft. I ordered a gun metal colored pencil to draw more controlled scratch marks.
  4. This time I tried some new methods, such as sponge weathering and liquid masking. All of these methods were unsuccessful, so I'll try another ways next time. Hope to enjoy your night flight.
  5. This is an awesome build, Yves. I attempted this kit but abandoned it due to my lack of skill. It is good to see the great showcase.
  6. Nope. I'll buy the Le Soleil Roral at the local hobbyshop due to the increasing exchange rate.
  7. Here are two hoppfish! one is from the sea, and another one is from the land. This kit needs lots of preparation, including weight.
  8. The next project has attractive camouflage patterns. In this project, I used a new method - masking sol. I quickly discovered that the release agent had contaminated the kit sprue... I haven't washed sprues since I used the Badger primer. Cleaning the release agent is essential to masking-intensive projects... I knew that it would be a huge problem, but the broken arrow is flying. The first color. #1 camouflage. #2 color #2 camouflage There are many defects everywhere. 🤔 I'll clean the rest of the masking sol tomorrow and finish the project by brush-painting.
  9. I slightly modified the Academy F4F-4 kit. You can find some interesting stories about the AJ148. https://armahobbynews.pl/en/blog/2022/02/07/the-grumman-martlet-mk-ii/ Here are some basic tips to help you convert to the Martlet Mk.II. I made the longer propeller nose cone using a 3D printer.
  10. Hmm... I have decided to halt the build and will wait for a package. I have placed an order for detail parts, such as PE railings and ladders. This kit deserves to have better details. Also, I need to recover some broken parts. Fortunately, they are basketball park rails, so I'll replace them with OHP films. The next post will be in 2~3 months...
  11. Thank you for the comment, Alan. I'll spray matte finish over the hull. All the paintings are hand-brushed. It's really labor-intensive and time-consuming. I'll use airbrush and masking when I build the 1/400 scale version. (30~40 years later)
  12. Nice to see you again! This is my ongoing project. I just finished painting the hull. I didn't use waterline decals. 😂
  13. This is a polyjet 3D printer, which uses FDM filaments as ink. It uses 7 filaments to mix colors. - C, M, Y, Bk, Wh, Transparent, Urethane (Flexible) - Support (It fills empty space.) Examples (In Korean)
  14. That's exactly the same on my Roden SPAD XIII. Your skill is fine. Only the blue water slide paper is exceptionally difficult. I also added brass pins to both edge of the wing pillars. Without the metal guide pins, I couldn't bind the biwings with rubber rings.
  15. This small bird is an Academy 12355 USN F4F-4 Wildcat kit. The FM-2 version will be released. Nice interior details and complicated landing gear. The wings are foldable, but the wheels are not.
  16. The laser's thickness is pretty wide. It is enough to replace classic milling machines and table saws, but I doubt it'll be the new standard. The real game changer is a resin 3D printer. There are tons of new 3D printed kits on the world market. It is essential device to reach the next level of modeling.
  17. It is a famous Lycra flexible thread. Also, it is known as the EZ line. There are no turnbuckles. + The thicker lines are 0.30mm brass rods. I tried to apply the brass rods to all... and ran away.
  18. Ok... It looks like the instructions are only available on Youtube. At least the Victory is better than my HMS Supply because it comes with some paper templates. I'm capturing the video instructions one by one, and the video file size is over 7 GB...
  19. I bought the new HMS Supply, which was introduced in 2024 spring. The kit doesn't have any instructions, and there are only Youtube assembly videos. Will the Victory kit have no instructions?
