My name is Nikolaj, but my friends call me Nik and in modeler world I am known as VolshebNik. I am from Latvia and built my first model when I was 7 years old back in 1985. I am aviation enthusiast and therefore my main focus is on aircraft. Also I like helicopters, motorbikes and cars. This "fusion" employs wide range of assembly and painting methods which I will share with you - from Chrome and candy paints to heavy weathering.
Thanks for watching. Nice to know that I have guests from Netherlands. I have a friend from there he teach me to drive motorbike right way and also he build scale models :)
I do not have judging spreadsheet on this nomination. In such a complex diorama it is easier to find some small imperfections.. But I am pretty sure that they very impressed with diorama itself too ;)
Thank you :) This time there were just 2 or 3 ships from paper in category "Other models". I will include those ships in that video. But I will start compiling videos from Warsaw model show - there should be some ships from paper for sure :)
Yes, in this nomination only Stuka. You can also check First aviaton video, there was Ju-88 at least... ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-5cqImth3UcY.html And Kingfisher.. this one will be role model for me when I start building mine :D
@@Volsheb_Nik_Studio Thanks, I've seen that Ju88 diorama before, its very good. Good luck with your Kingfisher, I have the same model and want to attempt it one day...
Thank you for nice video, i see my liberator really grabbed your attention! Seeing it up so close with help of camera shoved me some little mistakes i did on it.
Oh yes man! Your Liberator is stunning! I love it! I think it is the most spectacular model of this nomination :D At least from my gentle opinion ;) BTW it is so huge, how much it took for you to built it and ... how did you transport it to the show? :D
@@Volsheb_Nik_Studio it actually took me just a month to build, had lot of free time. It can be disassembled to 3 separate parts, wings and fuselage. Also props come off, but still even tho i have big trunk in my car it takes half of it!
Just a month! Ok, if you do thing more than modeling and sleeping a bit of coffee, then it is doable.. :) Did you use masks or decals for spots? And good to know it is disassembable :)))
Good choice, I would do the same :))) I am not a big fun of decals to be honest :) I have plotter at home and easy can make masks for my projects. Like for my chrome-painted Curtis H-75 from ClearProp in 1:48. And for scale 1:32 it would be even easier :)
I am working on next part for aviation. In the meantime, you can have a look on first part: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-5cqImth3UcY.html ;)
Thank you for this correction. To be honest it was a guess. I found HMS Royal Wiliam in award list and was not sure in which scale is it... In my oppinion both models deserve award :) But it is great that you commented on this. I will add this correction in subtitles. Many thanks and say hello and my excuses to Dragan from me :)
Thanks for your interest. I get a lot of people asking on this. Secret formula is A-Stand Gloss Black -> powder Kosutte Ginsan -> S-Stand Chrome. I have filmed how I apply it on the model and will roll out video on this at some point in time ;) Also I will offer masterclass on this for next Moson Show :)
@@Volsheb_Nik_Studio я так понимаю, в основном из-за алклада (миговская перепаковка вроде) хром хороший получился. Порошок, насколько помню, блестит-отражает, но очень тёмное зеркало получается.
Thank was a good time, isn''t it? :) I build some ships in my childhood too. But now, when I look on THESE models I feel like ... khm.. Maybe I should try again? Maybe not at the same level, but just take some simple model and build out of the box. What you think? Would you like to see that? :D
Hi buddy, nice to see you here! Congratulations, you will be added to one of next videos :D Although I actually planned this anyway ;) And your great helicopter model is opening M-18 nomination at 00:19:06 :D
Same goes with rigged aviation. :) Ships of cause employs more complicated techniques. But I believe when you learn how to do it and practice then it goes much easier
BABARYBA 2024 will take place on 1st and 2nd of June. Warsaw, Poland. Full name of this contest: "Warszawski Festiwal Modelarski Babaryba (2024)". You're welcome! Other words: 127 days from today 🤔.
I can only join invitation! I like to spend few days in Warsaw. In June weather usually is very good, you can enjoy old town, military museums inside Warsaw or move to Dęblin for a day to enjoy aviation museum there as well :)
Hello! Thank you for sharing this video! You did what you said. Cars, bikes and civil vehicles from Babaryba will be published in January 😁. I'm not able to pick my favorites build, because there were a lot of fantastic models. Included your BMW RnineT. This caravan (trailer) at 3:50 is scratch build one! (see ACMS - American Cars Scale Models). Next: Many models were made by Trojan (as you can see on cards). For example this Brown wide SL cabrio, BMW 2002i turbo wirh engine or these 1:12 cars (P911 and Mustang). Amazing skills!
Hi buddy! Yes, I did this video exclusively for you as you asked for that :) Thank you for your patience:) Hopefully it was worth it :) And I completely agree on that scratch-build trailer with Mercury (I like wood finish on side panels and green color) is very attractive.
Thank you very much for your great video and wow what incredible and beautiful models, absolute masterpieces that can be seen there, so much attention to detail, you should actually see your video in slow motion to see all the details, simply fantastic. I am a big fan of 18 :45 the Bismrack Diroama is fantastic, a very great idea. Best Greetings from a Bismarck Fan 🫵👌👍🫶🫵👌👍🫶🫵👌👍🫶🫡🫡🫡🫡🫡🫡
Thank you so much for kind words! Glad you like the video. And Ring of time with Bismarck is really cool diorama. It is absolutely one of the top models from the event :)
No no, I see him first time :D Ok maybe it is a man with grand civil vehicle models from Germany? Nice to see you hear, buddy! I very happy you watch this. I hope you are doing well ;) BTW did you tried German subtitles. I used auto-translation on those. Wonder how well it does translation :)))
Hello there! I know this Ducati showed in 0:08 🤔 I saw it in Warsaw, in 2019 at Babaryba Model Show. Am I right? It has got very unique painting. It is all red with patterned(?) shades of red. I think, I saw it also either in Bytom or Bielsko-Biała in 2019 or 2018 🤔. At least I think so. Mentioned parts in 25:17 are Oxygene sensors (Lambda sensors). It is very informative video, BMW looks great, and I saw it in Warsaw this year. Real eye-catcher. I like this quick sanding/scribing tools review. Congratulations on your driving license (for motorbikes?) 😊👏.
Haha, you've got a great memory! It's amazing how a unique painting can stick in your mind. Maybe we should start a detective agency for tracking down cool bikes around the world! That Ducati Desmosedici is from 2016. It was on many shows and get a lot of awards and cups. Glad that you like it as well. Unfortunaely I was not filming videos on build of that model but I have a lot of pictures and can try to compile video on that as well. Would it be something interesting for you? And I'm thrilled that you found the video informative and enjoyed the review. It means a lot to me when viewers appreciate the effort I put into creating content. Lambda sensor, of cause! Thank you buddy! :D And driving license... it was just a joke, I have it for cars and bikes for a long time. I enjoy driving. That is another reason and excuse to go far with my car to see other countries like Poland or Slovakia or many others... But thank you for congratulations anyway, I appreciate you being sincere!
@Volsheb_Nik_Studio Hello. I have lost this comment. So, now I can answer to you: Short movie with pictures of Ducati build will be interesting. When I was looking closely at the Ducati (live, at contest) I was wondering how it was painted because I didn't notice visible edges at the color's boundaries. It means, it was even surface although different patterns and shades of red. 🤔
@@majktyson6275 Hello my friend! Happy New Year :) I will keep this in mind about your wish ;) But as a teaser, I used 2K clear coat and sand out all the imperfections. And then another layer of 2K. And again light sanding. And at the end I use Tamiya compounds to polish surface. The most challenging part was painting all those patterns and to transfer drawing onto model ;) But I will add pictures of the process into video :) Once again, Happy New Year!
Нормуль! Однако ж много просят за 1/9, тамиевские формулы 1 в 1/12 столько же стоят, перевыпускают, затариваюсь. По кусачкам вопрос: у меня мастертуловские, там тупое лезвие хитро заточено, рядом с осью кусачек плоскость реза ровная, а у кончиков тупое лезвие выпирает на несколько десятых мм. Либо это брак, либо сделано специально, чтобы подпирать этой ступенькой снизу, когда срезаешь в узких местах самыми кончиками. Я чуток подправил на бруске, но не окончательно вывел в плоскость на всей длине губок - поэтому срез не идеальный, когда коннектор посередине толщины детали. Как на твоих?
Спасибо за просмотр :) Я как ты, тоже эксперементировал с заточкой и запорол одни кусачки. Вобщем я пришёл к выводу, что надо стачивать сверху, а не снизу (где сходятся лезвия). Ну а с GodHand вообще никаких проблем. Одно удовольствие!
@@Volsheb_Nik_Studio Запоротые можно переточить на точиле или отрезным потом алмазным диском в прокссоне. Даже если сточишь режущее ребро, можно подточить возле оси, чтобы губки сходились ближе, и заточить новое прямое ребро. Надо будет позырить эти годханды, как они заточены. А то в работе пользую 4-5 видов кусачек и всё равно мало. 🙂
Dobry wieczór! Very informative video. Thank you! I'm surprised that Zero Paint didn't melt layers below it. Zero are aggressive one ('hot paints') and could damage (melt) plastic at the bottom. And it does. Anyway, this dark blue looks amazing! Nice effect!
Dziękuję bardzo Majk! I am glad you found it interesting. I was hoping it will be something usable for persons like you, who build cars and motorbikes :) And you are right! Zero paints are really aggressive and I mention some surface defects after 3rd layers of Zero paint. But... I like these paints for Candy paint variation. And this video was good excuse to try these Red and Blue colors in new bottles. Recently got parcel from Hiroboy including some paints for Ducati Superleggera V4 :) Try it out some day, have some fun buddy ;)
@@Volsheb_Nik_Studio Yes, this is very usable for automotive modellers. Nice deep color with unusual pattern underneath. I will try to replicate this effect. I have got some candy from A-stand (Alclad). I saw, you have got some also. What scale is your Ducati, is it 1:12th or 1:9th ? Is it Tamiya 14140 or another?
Good morning Majk :) I have tried most of the paints from old Alclad. And my favorite was Alclad Transparent Red. Analog from A-Stand is not that good. It is too transparent and need some 5 layers to get good cover :) However A-Stand Candy Red to my surprise works fine and after 2 coats I got deep color shade. What I do not like about Alclad is transparent blue. It has shade of green. And I do not like it. I think same was for A-Stand Transparent Blue. However Candy Indigo Blue or Candy Cobalt Blue are just right for me. And you right about Ducati, it is Tamiya 14140 in 1/12 :) Scale 1/9 is more of exception for now. But Meng is going 1/9 direction and I like it. By the way, next week I will release review&build video on my BMW R nineT ;)
@@Volsheb_Nik_Studio Super! As I wrote earlier, in Warsaw your BMW was a true eye-catcher and it was fantastic. The girl also :) I'm waiting also for your video of Babaryba's automotive models :)
Thank you buddy! Glad to hear :) And I remember about your wish on car & bikes from Babaryba. I plan it for Jan 2024. Sorry to keep you waiting. But you will have it, I promise ;)
