    Thank you, Snake. One more trivia. Before ZIL, this was named ZIS, s stands for Stalin.

    Slowly but steadily, this build continues. Since the parts are covered by thick Americana layer, it is almost impossible to use a white glue which I always prefer. I found a bottle of universal acrylic glue which is much stronger than white paper glue. It gives quite Glossy seam which I really...

    Well Russian is my mother tongue. And yes, Boris is my real name. And I also have problems with captcha in Russian I think all Novamodel designs are free. I don't mind off-top in my threads ;) Revell-fan, you should try pronouncing холодильник саморазмораживающийся. That's a real...

    Hello all After some recovery, I got to truck's front grill. Unexpectedly, it took me 4.5 hours to finish this part. I have to add, all external parts were covered by Americana Glossy sealer/finisher spray. I made too many passes to make the parts shine so the paper now is really stiff and...

    Hello all. Slowly, this build continues. I decided that I need to make the external body shiney and covered the printed pages with Americana Glossy finisher. Had to make 4-5 layers. This stiffened the paper a lot, making it quite hard to fold and build. Nothing I can't deal with, but still, I...

    In reality, the threads on the tire were quite shallow since this is a on road vehicle, I'd say around 1 cm deep. In scale, we're talking about 0.3 mm, which very close to the thickness of the 160 g/m2 paper (0.22mm) It means I could probably reprint the thread and cut out the thread pads and...
