Master Models

AK Interactive contest

The winners of first AK Interactive model contest on Facebook have been announced.

Im pleased to say, the model of VW won it.

The competition was tough, with many top modellers taking part, and some outstanding models being presented, which makes this win special for me.

Thanks to AK Interactive for organising the event, and all the lovely people that voted on my model.

Im moving.

In next few weeks i'm moving to live in Poland again.

My main priority is to set up the new workshop after arrival. It will take few weeks i think.

I will keep you updated on the progression of work.

In the coming weeks model of the VW van will be published in the Split Screen Scene- bi monthly journal of the Split Screen Van Club.
Thanks to Mike Johnson for giving me the opportunity of sharing my work with VW lovers.

Turtlegg

Another year, and another easter egg model contest on PWM.
After completing the "Egg Zeppelin" few years ago, this time i turned towards the submarine subject.
I will build the 1776 D. Bushnell's Turtle.
It was the first American submarine.
The one-man vessel submerged by admitting water into the hull and surfaced by pumping it out with a hand pump. Powered by a pedal-operated propeller and armed with a keg of powder, the egg-shaped Turtle gave Revolutionary Americans high hopes for a secret weapon - a weapon that could destroy the British warships anchored in New York Harbor.

First the egg was drilled. I used Dremel tool for the job.
The shell cracked in one place, so the CA was smeared on inside to strengthen the area.
Whole shell then was sanded- you`d be surprised how imperfect the egg surface can be.
