Could it be that nobody reacted on that ace SBS after one good week?!! Where on earth are you guys?!
Congratulations Grzegorz for an *oustanding* work, both in terms of choosing the model, conception, building, way higher than what's considered to hbe excellent painting and weathering, digital photography and writing, i wish I could see more stuff with such an outsanding (again) quality! And extra thanks to Mark for sharing such an ace work!
JB

Thanks JB

I think that everyone must have been away on Holiday or something...

Thanks Jean-Bernard! It felt really, reall great when I've read your comment!
I guess the rest is busy or on holidays as Gunny wrote...

Cheers
Greg

hmm yes, i think the guys from the scratchbuilding corner of kitmaker should be told to come here for starters
Is the video shooted already? how about some screenshots when it is done? I would love to see that!
JB

Hi Greg,

A truely amazing and detailed piece of work. Thanks for taking the time to document your build, the finished product is superb. You chose a very interesting and unusual subject and I can only echo what jb said the workmanship here is outstanding.

Thanks for sharing this one, there is a lot to be learnt from this outstanding piece of work.

Amazing, Inspiring and Creative just some of the adjectives that spring to mind.

Cheers

Hi Greg,

Very interesting boat, the detail work is superb!
Thanks again for the info you sent to me about this boat.

Ahoy there!
First of, let me say that all the comments are greatly appreciated, thanks guys!
I'm sorry that I didn't got back to you earlier.

Jean_Bernard, the video was just completed two days ago and can be seen under this link: Dj Vadim's "Black is the night"

Alan, thank you very much for the comment! Unfortunately, all the credits for choosing the subject go to my customer who commisioned this model

Cheers
Greg

Hi Greg!

It's really cool to see the ship model used as it is, mate, isn't it? Thanks for sharing the experience!!
~Mark

Excellent! Thanks for sharing that one -nice dub track too
i reckon the clip is excellent, it's so funny and weird to see your model used in such a setting!
I hope we will see more of your scratchbuilding talents in a not too distant future, there's more to love with boats
btw -the clip is the official one right? it's very talented I think..

JB

Hey Mark, it is cool indeed to see what they used it for

JB, thanks for the kudos (again! )
I belive the clip is, well, an unofficial one, but also it may be the only one made for this track? Anyway it was the initiative of the authors of the clip and not the Dj's AFAIK.
As to my scratchbuilding, well why not? I actually was thinking recently about doing some Vietnam riverine force project if the time allows me . Monitor perhaps or something smaller preferably (ASPB?) For now I don't have enough references anyway

Cheers
Greg

Well I finally found my way over here! and man oh man what a beautiful scratch build!!! I'm not sure how I missed this in the first place.
Outstanding ship building and finishing.
Grzegorz, a tip of the hat to you.......I stand in awe

Cheers,
Charles

Grzegorz ,

I`m am sorry not to have replied earlier but I have only just had the time to view the link to your wonderful scratch build, I second the comments made by JBA and hope to see more of your excellent work displaid on this site in the future.

PeteV

Cheers for the comments Charles and Peter! Glad to know you liked my effort!

Greg

I really must be losing the plot.

I could swear I've seen this great job before and commented on the build.

Getting really worried now!!!

Man!!! You had me really worried for a minute there!

I knew I'd seen it before:

The SBS is excellent! Thanks Greg... And Gunny!

Man, don't do that to me! Thought I was suffering major Deja Vu!

Hey Murdo,
Glad it's ok now and sorry for the confusion

Cheers
Greg

Beautiful work Greg. Like Murdo, I saw it and commentted on the ofther forum.

Greg,

That is one AWESOME scratchbuild! And I really appreciate the SBS.

You say it is about 60cm in length, how wide is it?
I have been thinking about doing a dio with a half sunken boat/ship in it and this is the type I had in mind.
Is there any way I could get a copy of the plans you used? If not, I may be PMing you for a few measurements if that is OK.

Cheers, BillK

Thanks for the comment Kenny, I appreciate it

Bill, thanks! And I can e-mail the plans to you, no problem, just PM me with your address .

Cheers
Greg
