JCSeattle Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 (edited) One of the best, if not the best plastic ship models I've ever seen, is this IJN Kongo by Hyun Soo Kim I have not seen any tutorials by him. Was wondering if anyone have a description of how such a hull paint was created? http://www.modelshipgallery.com/gallery/bb/ijn/Kongo-350-hsk/images/KONGKO_01.jpg Edited March 2, 2018 by JCSeattle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JCSeattle Posted March 2, 2018 Author Share Posted March 2, 2018 (edited) Hyun Soo Kim has a whole fleet of incredible masterpieces. The IJN I400 is another favorite of mine. I don't have that kind of talent by far, but would still be interested in knowing the various paint and weathering techniques used Edited March 2, 2018 by JCSeattle 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gorby Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 Wow, those are staggering. I can't help you with the painting techniques, this is WELL beyond my ability. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bhouse Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 9 minutes ago, Gorby said: the painting techniques It's quite simple to achieve those effects actually. Just invent a miniaturising machine, steal the original vessel, select the scale and press the 'on' button. Jaw-droppingly good, aren't they? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ajmm Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 Phenomenal. Utterly lifelike - he has an uncanny eye for weathering. Thanks for posting those pics - inspiring and depressing simultaneously. I’d love to know how he did it but hold no realistic expectation that I can approximate that sort of finish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCSeattle Posted March 3, 2018 Author Share Posted March 3, 2018 Apparently he builds planes equally impressive. I agree with the miniaturization comment Wow 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
