Kalakukko Posted January 26, 2020 Share #1 Posted January 26, 2020 (edited) Im just a amateur model "ship" builder from Finland! My first wooden ship was way back when i was 13. (Picture below) Just too big project for someone that age😅 Never finished that and lost all parts, but maybe i will complete it someday. I got model building background from building and painting plastic models and dioramas. Now i just got back from the military and i have some spare time. I have ordered master korabel phoenix model from ebay and i want to modify it little more. Add more details windows, etc. Maybe i will start a model building log when it arrives. I made quick small illustration for custom stern gallery and i will be here looking for some ideas and tricks! Below my first model and illustration for the master korabel phoenix Edited January 27, 2020 by Kalakukko druxey, EricWilliamMarshall, GrandpaPhil and 5 others 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kalakukko Posted January 28, 2020 Author Share #10 Posted January 28, 2020 Thank you for the warm welcome!

Saattaa päästä välillä helpommalla kun kyselee kotimaan vaihtoehtoja vastaaville maaleille ja tarvikkeille. Moxis 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtaylor Posted January 28, 2020 Share #11 Posted January 28, 2020 Translation via Google Translate: Yeah that's good, it seems like a nice group of people here already. Sometimes it may be easier to inquire about domestic alternatives to matching paints and accessories. By the way, please. This forum uses English for our posts. If you need to, Google Translator does a pretty job. Thanks in advance.
