ION Model

Between running ION Model and dealing with tiny details all day, my workspace used to drive me nuts—hunting down specific paint codes, losing manuals, and drowning in clutter.
So I got fed up and built something to fix it: AskKit.io.
It’s a digital assistant built specifically for modelers—Kit remembers for you what you have :) You can snap a picture to instantly build your paint stash, chat with it for advice, search through tutorials quickly, and I’m rolling out a paint equivalent search very soon.
Right now it’s Android-only (iOS is on the way!), but if you want to clear off the desk chaos, give it a spin. Use code KIT30 for 30 days of the premium version completely free. Let me know how it works for you! . .

We just launched our new subpage dedicated to ION Model figures: 👉 https://figures.ionmodel.com

See you on board! ⚓

Here is some more progress, some elements got glued, railings has been added. Also I needed the model to be more stable so I used some cardboard and honestly I am considering making a sea diorama for this build. This will definitely add more detail but also complexity and stress.

Another drop of the progress. I need to think thoroughly what is the best next step. I am leaning toward railings and then flat varnish in combination with putting most of the elements together…

Dry fitting some of the elements. The deck itself is nearly done and now I’m planning how to put together most of the stuff.

I am working on Kriegsfischkutter 1/144, it’s not the first stage but I gonna put more documentation along the way. This kit has a lot of potential. Wish me luck! :)
