鋼鐵浮城 Iron Fleet by Ralph Kuo

High Speed Tractor M5 (1/72 HASEGAWA) 長谷川早期的產品,刻模普通,不能跟現今精美的小比例AFV新產品比較.不過,有別於一般的戰車構型,M5牽引車在外型方面算是很有特色的.在情景的構圖上也因為其牽引的角色,可以有更為豐富的想像空間. 雖說當時做這一部車的時候是為了為一幅想像中的情景安插角色,遺憾的是這個情景至今仍止於想像. 終究是早期的刻模+早期的製作技巧,表現的不很理想.不過,基本上仍如以前的製作態度,總會在新作品裡試驗一些作法.在這個作品中嘗試了以乾掃來表現色差舊化的作法.效果差強人意.

US.NAVY WW2 SUBMARINE GATO Class 也是好久以前的作品了 ....Skywave很早期的產品之一,現在的TAMIYA產品中有一款1/700的GATO級與日本海軍驅潛艇,即是沿用同一套模具,不過相較起來,可能是因為模具已經老舊的關係,TAMIYA的同款商品顯的毛邊較多,也沒有那麼銳利了!! Scale:1/700 KIT:Skywave built by Ralph in about 1998 很久以前的作品,做的很不好,希望有機會能再重做一艘.                                  

HASEGAWA NEW KIT FOR SHIP 1/350 YUKIKAZE in Shizuoka Model Show (Photos by Shinkyo Tung)  現場直擊 2006年日本靜岡模型展中,長谷川展示了其1/350Item的新產品----雪風(Yukikaze,竣工時).在此之前,長谷川保密到家.讓全球的艦船模型迷對這迷樣的新產品眾所猜測.即使只有極少數的日本同好知曉內情,但似乎是與"長社(以下以此簡稱長谷川)"簽署約定般的配合保密,絲毫沒有任何口風漏出. 於是,眾說紛紜,有人猜測是長門,高雄級,甚至是珍珠港時期的空母.卻怎麼也想不到竟會是陽炎級的雪風,頓時跌破一堆同好的眼鏡. 無論如何,機密已在靜岡展揭曉.適逢我們的老友阿童伯(Shinkyo)正巧人在日本,也親自到了會場參觀,親手拍下了許多這產品的照片,為我們來個現場直擊報導.且同意小弟刊登於"鋼鐵浮城",嘉惠更多艦船迷. 在此感謝阿童伯先~^^~ In the 2006 Shizuoka Model Show,hasegawa showed their new kit which was as a top confidentiality for the 1/350 ship item,the IJN D.D. YUKIKAZE .Before the show,most of ship model funs guessed which ship will be.Some guessed Nagato,some others guessed maybe the Takao class,or even one of four carriers in the Pearl Harbor.They are all wrong,the protagonist showen the Yukikaze,one of IJN DD kAGERO CLASS. However,the result  came out. It chanced that our old friend who named Shinkyo at the show,and he took some photos for us.Let's view those photos of 1

不久前的新進度 很不長進的進度......最主要還是在搞一些細節,比如煙囪的扶手和固定鋼索的扣環,仍然都是以膠絲做的.`為什麼不用便宜又好用的蝕刻片?因為蝕刻片的內容大半數都自己搞定了,所以一直就在為那剩下的半數猶豫要不要再多花錢買只會用到少部份的蝕刻片.有時在想,我會不會把這艘搞的太複雜了一點?做都做了,只有硬著頭皮再搞下去了..... 比如說,為了艦橋上層欄杆外覆的帆布,至今失敗了三次,就為了要弄出符合350比例的滿意效果.失敗的三次中試了最細緻的面紙和水管用的白色止洩帶這2種材質.這2種材質都需要用三秒膠去固定,結果這2種都失敗在接合與舊化上.後來還是整個拆掉重弄,拆的時候是連同蝕刻欄杆一起扯掉的,因為在當初是以三秒膠接合的,接合面的強度高過銅製蝕刻欄杆的強度,很容易在拆帆布的時候弄壞欄杆,乾脆就一併拆除重來,就這樣重來了三次....真快被這個搞死了....><||不過,用水管的止洩帶(俗稱"貼布西路")來做帆布的效果倒是很好,就是太難黏也太難舊化了.這種止洩帶的擴散力超佳,稀釋過後的油畫顏料沾上很快就暈開來,問題是.........擦不掉...
