All parts needed for “Frenchman” are cast. So far the elements are assembled with no glue and fit perfectly thanks to 3D modelling. Experience pays off.

While the moulds of “Frenchmen” are waiting for the resin, I am finishing the 3D model of S/S “Sołdek” – the very first seagoing merchant ship built in Poland. As a little boy I made a paper model of this vessel, maybe that is why I have sentimental attachment to her.

Another milestone of creation. It is fascinating moment when virtual model becomes a real object. Now I have to put together all these elements. It’s a long way to Tipperary, but in the end, not that long as two weeks ago 😉

The very first of colliers starts to take shape. More of this kind of pre war tramps are to be done.

Regardless the hudge problems with the latest WordPress version, which cost lots of my time and nerves, and sometimes makes impossible to update the site, I am trying to work on the next projects. I was mentioning last year about the pre war Tramps – they are almost done in 3D. Besides them, I am preparing a 3D model of a tiny steamship, which […]

After months of being off line, I am returning on blog. All those who sent me the e-mails I must ask for patience. I have got lots of spam so I must clean my server before I start to answer.

“Nurek” (Diver) is ready to sail. I weathered model a bit, because I dislike the brand new looking ships. This was an inconspicuous but cute ship. It sunk in Oksywie base hit by the 250kg bomb during the air raid. As added two more pictures with “Smok” tug.

Polish “Smok” (Dragon) – finished and under white and red ensign. Wash looks much better in natural light. Probably Kriegsmarine’s „Rixhöft” overlook and colour was the same. Some of the rigging elements are made of photo-eched elements. They look a bit too heavy. Maybe in the future I will change them.

Today, I’ve got nothing to say. Pictures tells the whole story. Both ships are waiting on the ensigns, while I am waiting untill matt Humbrol varnish will be dry and cured.
