"Devil on the Atlantic" 1/350 HobbyBoss U-Boot TypVIIC
This was a build with many firsts: first submarine, first 1/350 figures and first seascape. In general I'm quite happy with the finish, some things could be better, but lessons learned. One thing I'm not happy with is that there appeared some cracks in the oil paint whitecaps. It occured after...- Wouter

Hi everyone, I can present to you the photos of my first finished model build in 2 years. My first ever Gunpla build (Gundam Plastic kit) and I must say I enjoyed almost every step of building and weathering, something which doesn't happen often. I know a Gunpla build isn't everyone's cup o'...- Wouter

OZ-ooMS Tallgeese (1/100 Bandai Gundam MasterGrade)
EJ and John, thanks fellas. I started weathering finally. At them moment I working with oils because these are the most versatile to use I think. I did one half so you can see the difference.

1/350 U-Boot Typ VII C
Time to pop out the second shelf queen ^^ Last year I started the seascape, and apparantly I forgot to take a photo from the next step. Which was glueing watercolor paper on top. Before I could glue on the paper I had to soak it in water for about 15 minutes to make it more pliable (I used...- Wouter

1/350 Tamiya Yamato Operation Ten Ichi Go with Pontos upgrade
Ralph, thanks chap. I agree, lovely sets and their after sales service is great. I bought this set when it was new and with the flawed gun barrels I contacted them and they sent me proper drilled replacements together with some missing parts. Steven, thanks, hopefully we don't need to wait for...- Wouter

1/350 Tamiya Yamato Operation Ten Ichi Go with Pontos upgrade
The aftermarket set had some nice turned barrels as well. Sadly, the exit holes were off set so I had to wait for replacements at the time. But I couldn't wait to assemble a main gun turret and dry fit one of the bad gun barrels. One of the AA guns was constructed to. Very small and many, many...- Wouter

1/350 Tamiya Yamato Operation Ten Ichi Go with Pontos upgrade
The hull required a bit more of filling and sanding The upperdeck was attached next. Impressive piece of detail: the baerings of the gun turret are even moulded, though they won't be visible at all. The aft deck is a Pontos etch part which fits right on top of the Tamiya part. Details like...- Wouter

The kit used for this build is the Tamiya 1/350 New Tool Yamato, and I used some extra goodies by Pontosmodel Tamiya gives you two options: you can build the ship as a waterline model or with a full hull. I went for the latter and in time I'll add a seascape and a crew :flushed:. The hull...- Wouter
