ISM GB 'From Russia With Love', Diorama 'Победа Pobeda Victory, Berlin, May 1945', Update 7

PLEASE, WATCH OUT FOR THE LINKS AT THE END OF THE DESCRIPTION!

Hi, guys! I completed the build of the factory ruin! Yeehaw! Okay, the stairs aren't attached yet, but I won't do that before the paint job is finished.

There was some fiddly stuff to build for this ruin, things I wouldn't have imagined at the start. I learned a lot about scratch building here, so it was definitely worth the effort.

I'm going to share the stuff I ran into as soon as this GB is over. There'll be a series of tutorials on scratch building along with my usual build vids. I hope I can do them in a way everybody can understand what I do and follow the steps to start building something of his own. I'm not that good at explaining things!

I decided to finish the figures as last stage of the build, because there are two more - smaller - buildings to be made. The toughest job on the figures is done - the skin areas. The rest won't take me too long, but I want to put all my concentration into this.

The guys who gave me some ideas for the last steps of this build:

Check out their channels, if you haven't already!!! There's some great stuff going on!

A light Now that is some serious detail my friend. And the rest of the work is truly a labor of love for the hobby Jens and I hope that all modelers both young and old will be inspired to do the same.

Wow, Jens. The dio is taking serious shape now! Excellent work - I even learnt where the lightbulb came from in your video, haha! I love how you innovate new solutions to your various diorama parts. I can't wait for the scratch-build videos after the group build is finished. I think we have a lot to learn from you! - Trevor
