Same problem,same solution here.

Since everything is closed there is no point in going out so I hope to catch up with some projects.

New WIP update.

I did some more work today, mostly with the grating. Once again my boxes full of various "junk" had something useful for my scratch projects.
By the way, I think I'll show you one of these boxes in the next update. It's really good to have something like that!

I used the old 1/700 ship railings. That's the whole "secret". (No, I wouldn't be that crazy to actually make those gratings from tiny separate bars...)
Last photo shows one of those boxes where I keep things that might be useful for my models.

Today I also did the hatches.

Here's the new update.

I did the rails and few other details. Soon I'll start to work on the gun...
Today I also made the very important decision. I have to cancel my plan of making the gun's mechanisms movable. I've realized that it would not work in 1/50 scale. Theoretically, it's possible to make all those parts movable but the problem is that it's incredibly risky, especially if we consider the fact the M-1978 is a quite weird construction(other SPGs are much more straightforward). And as I don't want to destroy my months of work, I've decided to build Koksan in permanent default position, with locked gun.

I can imagine how tricky it would be to make gun movable from marching to firing position more than once.I think you are right.

Another North Korean vehicle...

Thanks.

Today there will be no WIP update. The next stage of Koksan project is the gun which is also the most difficult part. So I think it's pretty obvious that it will take me some time before I continue. I just have to plan the gun very carefully.
But... in the meantime, I'm also working on another 1/50 scale North Korean military vehicle. It's almost finished and I should be able to show it very, very soon.
Look out for a strange Korean name in "The Armory" this Friday and Saturday...

I did look into making some NK jets but gave up due to lack of credible source of info.Lots of speculations,too many to make even educated guess.

Almost 7 months... That's how long did it take me to figure out how to make the barrel... Cut the piece of the plastic stick, cut the piece of the old paintbrush and then we have an almost complete barrel! Simple, isn't it?
Really, I have no idea why does it happen. Why such a "brilliant" idea grows in your head for seven months...
It's pretty funny that during those seven months I was smart enough to design and build the Hitler's Mercedes-Benz 770K but not smart enough to figure out how to make a barrel from two pieces I could prepare in 5 minutes...
Human mind is truly fascinating.


Tomorrow I'll continue my work on the Koksan's barrel. I think it will take me a couple days to finish this part of the gun.
More updates soon.

In the background you can see a Kaengsaeng 68.
1/50 Kaengsaeng 68

P.S.
I'll start the Australian Willys MB project a bit later as right know I just don't have enough time to work on it(hope you'll understand).
I've decided that for now it would be better to continue the work on M-1978 as I already know the subject inside and out. This fact's gonna save me a lot of time so I can focus on building and forget about the research because I've already got all I needed.
