 |
|
I got back into building about ten years ago here. I have an Iwata HBSB
airbrush with a 7Kg/cm2 oil-less piston compressor. Kits here are really
cheap, however other things like photo-etched accessories and a variety
of paints have to be mail ordered. Things like sealants and pigments
are also non-existent.
Anyway, if anyone wants to compare models and technique I would love
to get together. I have reached an impasse on many weathering issues
and would like some input.
I am basically an armour modeller, but aircraft have been done to. To
wit a Bristol Beaufighter TF.Mk.X
My last armour model was a Mt1.SPW.Sd.Kfz.251/1 Ausf.D Half track. |

| Are they hobby stores over there? Japan is just next door. If you get the time, do a little run over there to pick up some stuff. |

| I'm building the merkava 4 Academy ATM. Also, Academy f-14a .. it has a ton of ejector marks... and the fit is awful. I think I'm going to be ordering off LuckyModel and get the newish Tamyia IS-2. That's a badass kit. The Merkava 4 is well worth the money. Great Kit. Tracks suck though. Hello Fruilmodel |

Hey man......I would love to see some of your stuff. The last thing I put
together was a WWII D-Day diorama featuring a German Panther G with
supporting infantry but that was a while ago.
I was quite a dedicated modeller back in NZ years ago, but since coming
here in 2001 my modelling has all but dried up. This is due to a number
of factors ie. a general lack of space in the apartments/villas that I've
lived in here in Korea (a lack of room to set up a spray booth etc), being
labeled a 'geek' by others, also not being able to find others with the
same interests (I've never met any other foreigners into modelling).
I'm assuming you are a foreigner (maybe your Korean??)
Anyway I used to use a lot of different weathering techniques on my
dioramas including chalk pastels, acrylic drybrushing and artists oil
paints. I have several dioramas back in NZ that I'm very proud of!
Drop me a line if u want to have a geek get-together....lol.

There's a very good model shop near Heiwha rotary.
I'm actually into Napolionic era toy soldiers in both metal and plastic.
I don't have them in a diorama but I have them on top of the TV set.
I also love to paint them. |

Where is Heiwha Rotary mate....somewhere in Seoul?
There used to be a great model shop about 4 or 5 bus stops from Suwon
Station heading towards Yongin. Used to have heaps of WWII 1/48, 1/35
1/32 scale stuff etc but in the last year or two they've cut back the
military stuff for fantasy/sci-fi models.....erghh.

Heywha rotary is in Taehongno. It would be nice if the poster that mentioned it could give us a name or better directions....
From Chongno, it's only about a five minute drive.
There are quite a few buses that go there as well.
The best model shop I've found (For models and electric trains) is at Express bus terminal - I can't give you good directions from the subway, but if you naver it, you can find it. Might need a Korean to help you. It's located inside a building on the top floor. Name is Hobby Town
They have a nice big selection of models, and for me - the largest selection of Japanese trains and buildings I've ever seen in Korea. |
