DmitriyMarkov Posted March 28, 2021 #1 Posted March 28, 2021 Hello everybody! I've got an IJN mood - so I want to share some "progress" on a Yukikaze kit I've started nearly a decade ago. Base of the build is a very well known kit by Tamiya - a very high quality product I dare say. Add-on is a Lion Roar photo etch kit which also includes turned gun barrels and depth charges. Also there are couple Veteran sets - single- and triple-25mm auto cannons. Most of sub-assemblies were built in 2011 🙂 Here we go: Captain Slog, mtaylor, Reg and 12 others 15 Quote

And after looking up the book you mentioned by Hameichi Hara, I purchased said book, as it looks great. I've been "building" my Syren model since about 2008, so it's nice to see another modeler who is deliberate with his work.

Your Syren looks great too, well - looked until You've decided to re-plank her 🙂 That's quite a decision I dare say! Have a pleasant reading with Hara-san's book!

Landlubber Mike Posted March 29, 2021 #10 Posted March 29, 2021 Looks really great! I have the same kit but with the Infini upgrade set. I really like the PE in your sets around the bridge windows though - the PE really brings out the detail! I just looked at the Infini set and it doesn't look like there is any PE that goes there.

Around the time I was buying the kit and extras there wasn't Infini set on the market if I remember correctly. I wonder if Lion Roar is still around ? By 2010-2011 it was the best complex add-on (except some parts in their set were short of supply and 25mm are flat PE parts) I haven't made any significant additions to my 1/350 stash since maybe 2015-2016 and while looking through bulids that are started around recent couple of years I see lot of brands that are totally unknown to me: Infini, Big Blue Boy to name some.. mtaylor, Egilman, Canute and 3 others 6 Quote

DmitriyMarkov Posted April 12, 2021 Author #16 Posted April 12, 2021 As I've said earlier I came across shortage of some details in Lion Roar kit - so I had to improvise and punch some round-shaped elements on roofs of torpedo launchers from self-adhesive aluminium foil. It turned out to be slightly bigger than needed - but that was the smallest available diameter in our punch set: cog, Egilman, yvesvidal and 6 others 9 Quote

I just try to somehow reach what other colleagues do on these forums 🙂 Actually it's not quite a punch set - these are my wife's tools for rolling-in of gems in decorations 🙂 We share each other's hobby tools from time to time. I can hardly tell a manufacturer's name - in our country they usually can be aquired via jewellery-tools stores. I think the same is right for most of other countries as well.

DmitriyMarkov Posted June 20, 2021 Author #23 Posted June 20, 2021 Hello everyone! Well, here's aforementioned progress: First, I've assembled and painted 25mm autocannons - there's circa 16 of them on the ship. Each Veteran's 25mm consists of 2 resin and 2 PE parts. Next, I've equipped guns and torpedo launchers with handrails (tricky little devils they are ), then paint, clear layer and wash. Hull was painted and given a layer of clear gloss. I try to be honest - I show things I'm proud of and also things I'm not quite proud of 🙂 EricWilliamMarshall, mtaylor, Landlubber Mike and 2 others 5 Quote

Thank you very much! Handling of those turrets and torpedo launchers became fiddly due to handrails everywhere (they've drunk a lot of my blood those handrails). Weathering is just a simple wash - I tried to remove as much as I could and at one moment when surface was still wet from solvent it seemed ok, but when surface has dried this wash fragmented into "brown" fraction which conducts like a filter and "black" fraction which condensed into shadowy places of structures and for my taste there's still too much of them both but I wouldn't dare to remove more 'cause solvent now can damage paint and laquer - their integrity is "balancing on a ledge" after wash and solvent.

I'm impressed not only from your quality of work, but also the quality of your pictures! Well done! Thank you! That's mainly due to Tokina macro - lens which allows to get very close to the object part without much post-editing and also due to shooting in an aperture priority regime with an aperture closed as possible ( I use a tripod and always a timer). P.S. I've noticed that there were some mistakes in this post so it can be misunderstood - I've made corrections and stressed them with red colour 🙂 I'm so sorry for my English...
