I use the following 3 tools for rivets, depending on size: Finally, a small reminder: The next annual exhibition is taking place on Saturday - ModelCon 2026 / 7.2.2026 / Trnava, Slovakia , so if anyone is passing by, they can come and take a look...for those who can't, I'll take a bunch of...

Thanx :) The submarine is a grateful and quite simple model, which can be moved somewhere completely different with modifications... The most laborious part was plating the hull and then riveting... however, every rivet had to be driven out, then glued, and when the rivets started to fall...

Thanx ;)

Thank you, I really didn't expect this...it's a great honor for me ;)

So I'm done, a little summary of the whole build: There are several models of this submarine, one was published in ABC magazine, I chose the free model by Pavel Styl because it is closer to the original from the movie. I modified the model, it is completely spray-painted/painted with a base. I...

So I've added a simple pad and it's a little dusty. A little summary: The model is based on the minibox version to which a model chassis was added. I tried to add a few more details...My modifications: -glazed cabin and added simple interior -highlighted and added details on the cabin +...

The TATRA is pretty much glued together, thanks to the large windows the crew can be seen quite well, so it wasn't such a useless job... I'll still make a small pad...

The model is finished. My modifications: I slightly modified the wheels, lights and a few other small things, dusted the car a little and made a simple mat.

On ebay, TEMU or elsewhere you can buy plastic figures in various scales (I have bought from 1:25 to 1:250). I buy them white and I modify and paint them myself as needed. (The colored ones are usually more expensive and are not painted well) ;)
