Making Caspian Sea Monster - 1/144 Takom lun-class Ekranoplan

This time im making Ekranoplan diorama. When I searched for this, I saw a picture left unattended on the beach and made it similarly.

[@ErwinNiezing]

Thanks for making this model. The Caspian Sea Monster is a real airplane. You can still visit this plane on the shores of the Caspian Sea. (obviously)

[@ninus17]

I heard somewhere that they have pulled one of the last ones off the beach and are restoring it for display. I don’t know if it’s true but I can’t see why someone would lie about that.

[@ErwinNiezing]

@@ninus17 As far I know there's only one Ekranoplan in the whole world. I might be wrong though..

[@r.b.667]

it is not an airplane

[@ErwinNiezing]

@@r.b.667 It is. It flew over water.

[@r.b.667]

@@ErwinNiezing it is neither plane nor ship… it kind of hovercraft. Principle of its movemt is different than on a plane.

*Господи,сколько же времени,сил,терпения и мастерства на это надо...Восхитительно!!!* 👍👍👍👍

This is the single member Lun-class Ekranoplan, MD-160. In reality, the "Caspian Sea Monster" title was bestowed on the earlier single member KM class (built 1966, crashed and sank 1980). The Lun craft entered service in 1987, and retired in the late 1990s. A second Lun was partially completed but never finished, and still exists. In July 2020, the MD-160 was towed from a naval base to Derbent, Dagestan, where it is to be displayed in "Patriot Park". The tow ran afoul of an offshore sandbar. The MD-160 was subsequently, in December 2020, moved up onto the beach, where it was then moved further inshore, for the park, in December 2021.

This is not model-making. This is art.

[@jhonathanbarthomelewoswald1936]

model making is art

[@127TROOP]

This is truly a work of art! ...you have managed to portray a weapon of war as a thing of beauty, abandonded, decaying, silent, but still able to instill dread and fear in anyone who lays eyes on it. A fabulous piece...absolutly stunning.....

[@robertesplin8875]

Fantastic work - this is what I was thinking when I built mine, but I got nowhere near this - outstanding.

[@marklong1433]

Великий Человек, создал эту машину. Великолепнейший мастер, превращает машину в произведение искусства... Честь и хвала Вам, Маэстро 💯

[@Zayed.Hossain]

My great respect to Sir Rostislav Alexyev who made the beast machine and proved that Russia was ahead from their time❤

[@Tyani-sz6cg]

Absolutely astonishing work. I'm beyond amazed!

[@user-bv9cr9zp4z]

Потрясающая воображение машина- Лунь! А модель и диорама очень красиво сделаны, правдоподобно

Плюсую

[@SAMax2268]

One of the best diorama builds I’ve ever seen, great video from start to finish. Well done.

[@mestapho2011]

you are great at creating ocean and water scenes.. you're method is different than everyone else who's big on YT that I've seen and yours is by far the best.

[@andrewlee179]

There is so much talent in this model its unbelievable amazing

[@HelloCamper.]

Это невероятно.. видел его в живую и модель реально передает тот масштаб!! Очень жаль что эта техника сейчас никому не нужна.

[@davidhinkson8856]

Excellent diorama! The figures and excavator really show just how huge this aircraft is.

[@stratonkaratassos3007]

That’s one of the most realistic diorama I’ve ever seen. Bravo.

[@idarichev]

Очень впечатлило. Автору - браво!!

[@JJMcLoo]

*Отличная работа всё очень чётко передано* 👍👍👍👍👍

[@lyagushkha8490]

Model is one thing, but that atmosphere, lighting, music... Damn... That makes it feel like a real sea monster, beached somwhere in the middle of the steppe. Amazing.

[@Psychology-b4f]

This is a wonderful work, I have been interested in the Caspian monster for a year now, this is an amazing robot of Soviet designers!

Magnificent chipping work. Outstanding result

[@vladimireremeev5216]

Великолепно! Мастер!!!

[@aussiedownunder1993]

What an amazing job you did, so awesome to see unconventional builds like this one

[@millenniumf1138]

This video is a master class in weathering! I'm going to have to apply some of the techniques to my next build!

[@marcusott2973]

Wonderful combination of skill, patience and talent. Excellent work 👏

[@robertjones8667]

As soon as this kit came out I was waiting for someone to do this diorama. Very cool.

[@DerSpielfuehrer]

The rust effect is perfection.

[@limoucheu8522]

Once again marvellous. I forget to congratulate you for the publication of portfolio in the Dioramag 10. It is a normal consecration for such artistic work. I continue to hope that you will make a ship with sails (like Cutty sark or Victory or everyone of these incredible ships).

[@JedenSiedemDwa]

That was extreme building, but most thrilling was making traces as final touch. Result is perfect. All the best for You! ;)

[@fredtedstedman]

Your model is a masterpiece , fantastic build - can you imagine the 1:72 one ?? LUN was towed ashore 30 December 2021 ( away from saltwater ) according to Wiki . I think one of the problems of moving her has been her sheer size ! It was so sad to see her abandoned to the waves . Wales UK.

[@thediddly]

Master water maker! Best on YT!

[@RichardEKranz]

Wonderful work.

[@hubristicmystic]

You are the master of heavy weathering. So cool, I learned a lot watching this and enjoyed your process thank you.

[@lightsone2]

Excellent work! I've been working on mine and will now change up to work like you did. Much easier.

[@GregReilly135ScaleModels]

A stunning build sir love how you do the water and waves an unusual kit but fits the seen beautifully

[@nikolaosstavrou5327]

Exellent work! Well done sir!

[@danielcgomez]

Great job! It came out perfect! Loved the eerie music during the build too, it really sets the stage to this mysterious Beast!

[@fabiosilva3799]

Another work of art...congratulations! I suggest assembling the Nimitz 1/700 kit

[@roderickwinslow8642]

Wow you did one hell of a good job man! Presentation, music, atmosphere, mood, skills, very nice art! I wanted this in 1/72 but it would have been huge, but that's why I wanted it in that scale 😏 I have 1/72 scale rc helicopters, but this would have made an awesome scale rc display, p.s did you know this thing is bigger than a 747 and I think a Antonov.

[@sfdibb]

A true artist, I love watching you work👍

[@ADNAN_9801]

A real masterpiece 🫡 love it

Thanks for this building. I love this plane

Technically it's not plane :D

[@TitaniusAnglesmith]

@@kretobojca Well not an AIRplane, but still EKRANOplane

[@BaDArxz]

Damn, that thing thing is unsettling. Like it just looks otherworldly. Great diorama though!

This is not a "Caspian monster". This is "Lun". "Caspian monster" crashed in 1980 and drowned.

[@normanlong2191]

Amazing build !

[@sakkarem]

Oh my god. It's awesome

[@johnwinters]

Great job! Would love it if you showed what paints and materials you use as you use them. What was the white clumpy stuff you used for the water and what did you coat the water in as a final layer that gave it depth?

[@fabioconsolandi7885]

Mee too please!

[@LightningGuardian]

The opening scene confused me until i saw the the model.🤔 I thought you had c.g.i.-ed it in.😝👍

[@aviator0865]

I'm looking at this beautiful model as my next project as well. Thanks for the great content. However, unlike in the comments and in the title of the video, this is a Lun-class ekranoplan, not a "Caspian Sea monster". The ekranoplan "KM" was built first and was photographed by US spy satellites in 1967 at a port in the Caspian Sea. It had its name "KM" (Korabl-maket) on its wings. This led the US to nickname it the Kaspian Monster. The Lun-class was a smaller version built later. The KM eventually crashed into the Caspian Sea and was deemed to big to rescue. This is a common misunderstanding that I just wanted to correct. Anyway, keep up the great videos!

[@genericuser984]

this this reminds me of Studio Ghibli vehicles and that makes this 100x better

[@elizabethbell4697]

Amazing modelling skills used on this model. I just wish that some company would produce this Beast in 1/72 scale.

[@РыжийКот-ц5с9б]

После сборки он выгонит хозяина из дома.

[@goforitpainting]

Cool weathering

[@솜삼촌]

조회수가 적네요. 수고에 비해. 예술

[@angelloca375]

Great work indeed! May I ask you which color you use to paint the base to obtain the water colour. It is very realistic. Thank you in advance. And also which producer makes figures in 144 scale?

[@tiloslouighee1087]

It's beautiful😍😍😍

Amazing model! It's a shame the real plane is not preserved in a museum.

Hi man, what material did you use to make the white foam for the waves?
