    Thank you, Snake. One more trivia. Before ZIL, this was named ZIS, s stands for Stalin.

    Slowly but steadily, this build continues. Since the parts are covered by thick Americana layer, it is almost impossible to use a white glue which I always prefer. I found a bottle of universal acrylic glue which is much stronger than white paper glue. It gives quite Glossy seam which I really...

    Well Russian is my mother tongue. And yes, Boris is my real name. And I also have problems with captcha in Russian I think all Novamodel designs are free. I don't mind off-top in my threads ;) Revell-fan, you should try pronouncing холодильник саморазмораживающийся. That's a real...

    Hello all After some recovery, I got to truck's front grill. Unexpectedly, it took me 4.5 hours to finish this part. I have to add, all external parts were covered by Americana Glossy sealer/finisher spray. I made too many passes to make the parts shine so the paper now is really stiff and...

    Thank you all! I have to take a little break, I am learning to weld and have burned my left hand. Nothing serious, but have to give my hands some rest. Will continue ASAP

    Hello all. Slowly, this build continues. I decided that I need to make the external body shiney and covered the printed pages with Americana Glossy finisher. Had to make 4-5 layers. This stiffened the paper a lot, making it quite hard to fold and build. Nothing I can't deal with, but still, I...

    In reality, the threads on the tire were quite shallow since this is a on road vehicle, I'd say around 1 cm deep. In scale, we're talking about 0.3 mm, which very close to the thickness of the 160 g/m2 paper (0.22mm) It means I could probably reprint the thread and cut out the thread pads and...

    That's crazy. Snake, I think you should conduct a master class on cutting and assembling. But I have a philosophical question. Assuming there are 500 prints of this model ( if I am not wrong, 500 is the minimum amount for offset print), how many models will be built with such level of details...

    Hello all! Today is my country's birthday, we all celebrate the Independence Day. So, Happy Independence Day, Israel. This also means that I had some time to build. First, I have some update on wheel nuts. I found that the smallest hex key in my set is 1.5 mm in max width, very close to 1.4...
