IJNfan Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 (edited) 2020 has been the year in which I took up this hobby after a few years hiatus. Got a nice progression and some good models out of it too. The first model of the year, and the only one to be completely handpainted, is the Konig 1/700 from revell. No modification and a liberal interpretation of the paint schemes. Watch out, at the beginning I had to learn a lot about picture taking too. Next I took an older model, Gneisenau 1:1200, and recyced it while creating my first seabed. Next came the West Virginia, my first airbrushed model, made quite a few oopsies on the paintjob, didn't have the motivation to redo it though, Past that the U-boat XXI catched my eye in the shop Then I worked on the IJN Maya 1/700 Next the IJN yahagi 1/350, first rigged ship USS Enterprise 1/350 Mixed a mixture for the deck and grey, not accurate but just to my liking, I like being liberal with paints at times to get the shade I like instead of the shade it had for the deck color HMS Hood 1/350 IJN Kongo 1/700 Tried some weathering techniques the idea was a ship battered after battle, At some point I also made the IJN Hamakaze 1/350, but that one, well, its the only one I couldn't bring myself to finish so it is still waiting for a clear coat and weathering. I also Acquired a display cabinet, Greetings IJNfan Edited January 9, 2021 by IJNfan 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
