Aigore Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 I´ve been a bit quiet lately, not for not having anything to do on the contrary...I´ve been really busy! It´s Septemeber and this month we have a model show in Gothen burg, Art In Miniature, and I´ve been working hard to get things done for the show. Not having any mammoth project going on I set out to clean my shelves a bit from ongoing projects. Among others theese subs got done...and I´m really proud of the wood imitation I did for the bases :P First out a Rusky Hotel-class Then a Los Angeles VLS-Class Back to ruskies, an Alfa-class...I actually took home the sub class with this build :D And a little honorary mention for this Akula II-class Well it was fun doing something different...and they did well in the conpetition....not that there were many participants other than me :P Cheers!

Flankerman Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 Excellent subs Aigore - I didn't know you were into them. I love the build - and especially the finish. They are my secret pleasure - as a break from doing Flankers and Russian stuff. Only trouble is, they have started to take over my building over the last couple of months..... I've done about six of them and am currently converting the Mikro-Mir K-Class into HMS X.1. My collection of 1/350 subs is here. Ken Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Aigore Posted September 13, 2015 Author Share Posted September 13, 2015 Thank Ken :D I've always liked subs but I'm new to building them....I did a November class last year and that's about it. It felt good not going anal about details and after market stuff, it's just good old fun to build subs...you slap them together in no time and then it's painting and weathering :) I've been a secret admirer of your subs and checked them out as fast as you churned them out :) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Don Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 Nice work indeed! Curious how you weathered the dark gray/black areas of the subs? I always find dark gray and black tricky to weather. Thanks for sharing. Regards, Don. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Thanx Don :D I think grey and black is pretty easy to weather actually :) For the subs I took tbe easy way......first a panel wash then I just made dirt streaks by making lots of dots with artis oils in various colors like white, burnt sienna and raw umber tben I just pulled them out with a cotton rag....took like 2 minutes to do ;) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
