    S.S. "Californian" 1:400

    Today my friend, Krzysztof Wagner, who designed this model passed away after long battle with cancer. I'll have to dig this model out of deep corners and finish it to commemorate him...

    Scoring parts

    I cut lightly (not through) from behind if the bend will form a valley. If the fold will form a mountain I score two parallel lines from behind and scratch out the paper between them

    Thank you Micah, Rogerio, Chris, Zathros. I can see that neatness and crispness is in high demand ;) Something other was in high demand in that historic night... Boat stands, parts of the boats, shaping the body Completed boat

    S.S. "Californian" 1:400

    Continuing covering bigger white spots Covers for the cargo holds. The edges of the white places on the deck were blackened to avoid white lines showing. White boxes placed on the stern bridge are glued without the bottom as it is unnecessary and allows for cleaner fitting to the...

    S.S. "Californian" 1:400

    Thank you Zathros, Micah. It was flawless until it slipped out of my hands and have fallen to the floor. I repaired slight damage to the bow and caved in place in bottom side, but it's not flawless anymore :( Now it's time to start filling white spaces on board ;) Skeleton of the middle...

    S.S. "Californian" 1:400

    Thanks Chris - you know I love to share the techniques ;) Good luck, Inky, I wish you success :) The build moves on. The parts for side plating are cut out and retouched. The same technique as in the bottom is used to assemble the stern hangout. The connection with the side belt...

    S.S. "Californian" 1:400

    Thanks Chris :) Yes Zathros, I'm surely up to the task ;) On with the thread: The skeleton was glued with cyanoacrylic glue, the edges sandpapered again - to get easy flowing lines accomodating to the shape of the plating. Some edges on bow and stern were sharpened - according to the...

    Adam Savage models

    The Lasercutter he presents was loaned for him so he didn't pay a dime for it. And it is a new tool in his personal man-cave, not in his experience. By "working his ass off" I meant doing so much stuff on this type of tool that people used to call him a "laserboy" :P I like the idea of making...

    Adam Savage models

    Very interesting video showing off a new tool in Adam's Cave - the laser cutter. He worked his ass off on that tool and explains a lot of things important to know if someone is into laser cutting stuff. I dream about a laser cutter for some time now so it is a very interesting video for me, but...

    S.S. "Californian" 1:400

    My friend asked me to test build this model. First thing I've laminated all parts that needed it on 1mm card. They were cut out, their edges treated with cyanoacrylic glue and sanded to high precision As you can see, the ends - especially overhanged stern - have much more ribs than...

    Adam Savage models

    Among Adam's videos I found those two which are interesting for any modelmaker here: One about starting to compose your toolset - what tools are most useful, and how to get a hold of them cheaply, and when to choose the better ones. And the second one is about scrounging materials you need...

    Adam Savage models

    vKRG6amACEE Lately I'm going through Adam Savage Man Cave series on Youtube and I'm really flabbergasted about this guy. This is really my model of what I'd love to do in my life. The movie above is where he speaks a bit about making models for film makers - which is what he was doing before...

    Wanna enter a real tank?

    I remember reading how russians wanted a bigger gun on their heavy IS tank - they made a prototype with a new turret with 122mm gun, parked the tank on a proving ground, turned the turret perpendicular to the chassis, loaded the gun, attached a line to the firing mechanism, went behind a wall...
