Post-shading = done, markings = done
My friends, we've got a new record! 😁 Three-tone camouflage and markings done in 3 days? Damn!
But it wasn't all smooth sailing. First of all, I don't know if it was my bad luck or something, but those damned AK RC weren't as great ...
2021-09-29 19:25:46 +0000 UTC View PostCamouflage!
My friends, remember the Jagdtiger from a year ago? Painting that one took roughly 5 days if I remember correctly? And that was just a plain camouflage without any post-shading. And now I managed to paint the camouflage in one day and that include...
2021-09-28 19:07:15 +0000 UTC View PostDark yellow = done
My friends, AK Real Colors are pretty sweet for post-shading!
No alchemy, no messing around, just straight from the bottle. I started with a rather dark reference (can't remember the number, but it'll be in the video) sprayed in the co...
2021-09-27 19:36:37 +0000 UTC View PostMoment of truth (and physio!)
My friens, a coat of primer is that final judgment which always shows us any flaws, imperfections (or perfections 😁) in our build. I was very pleased to observe how the Zimmerit texture came to life and it turned out exactly the way I hoped it ...

Last sight of this model before it gets all covered with paint :)

Yesterday you said tomorrow, so JUST ZIMMER IT!
YES, YOU CAN!
2021-09-24 16:01:03 +0000 UTC View PostAnd we're, at last, ready for paints!
My friens, this is shaping up to be my biggest project so far! But it makes me feel very excited to see how it'll turn out in the end.
The resin figures from PanzerArt are just beautiful, hands down the best figures I've ever seen. The...
2021-09-23 22:10:14 +0000 UTC View PostPhoto etchings volume two and some good news
My friends, I finished adding the details on the rear of the tank and I also did some scratch building :) At first I wanted to use the plastic tube for gun cleaning rods because it's not included in the PE set, but I figured making one from copper...
2021-09-22 12:02:27 +0000 UTC View PostPhoto etchings vol. 1
My friends, once the basic construction is finished, it's time for the sweet golden PE to enter the game and pimp the model. I've done some of the most important stuff so far and PROBABLY found a photo of the vehicle I'm building, but from the oth...

Zimmerit kitty wasn't so fun to photograph, so I'm really "looking forward" to the next photo session with the completed build 😁

Small models
Yup, it's just what the title says, small models on their own :) But now I have the Zimmerit completely done. It was a nice change of pace to solder something again, but I forgot how messy of a process it is! Especially when you're sanding off the...
2021-09-16 07:51:55 +0000 UTC View PostPlastic details and tiny welds
Ma friens, I got every piece of plastic done. The model is pretty much ready for photo etch! Looks kinda "empty" at the moment, but the magic lies in the PE! Bent mudguards, side skirts, 3 storage bins and other goodies!
I made the tin...

... but it was a good idea! Presenting the Jagdpanther with active suspension will make the model, and the whole scene, more dynamic in my opinion. Wheels are, as usual on these German subjects, superglued together into one sub-assembly. I'm still...
2021-09-12 12:39:03 +0000 UTC View PostJust zimmer it ✔️
My friends, this was intense! Every plate of the Jagdpanther was seriously enjoyable, but the front, the most important one, was tough, mainly because of my poor planning. I decided to zimmer it all in one go and it started becoming too hard to wo...

Diorama time!
Also, next week is gonna be a QnA video, so if you have any questions, post them below!
2021-09-10 16:00:11 +0000 UTC View PostGlue it, weld it, zimmer it
My friends, there's nothing better than starting a new project and running out of glue 😁 But now my stocks will last for at least a while. On other news, I welded the hull using the traditional method, added a few more bits here and there and s...

My friends, it's that sweet, sweet moment when you crack open a new kit, and it was the perfect start of the week 😁
I technically started last night when I did a quick Zimmerit test on my guinea pig SU-122. This one will have a square pat...

My friens, as always when a diorama gets finished, I bring you a series of pictures and one of them has a scenic background 😁 That's the final dot after every project and now onwards to Normandy 1944!
2021-09-05 17:57:26 +0000 UTC View PostAnother diorama for the collection!
My friends, here's the final look of the diorama. I've read your comments on the previous post and there were some good insights. However, I've had a little family emergency which caught me off guard so this will have to do this time. I'm currentl...

Enamel washes, terrain "chipping"...
My friends, I just made up that term "terrain chipping" on the fly, because that's exactly what painting individual stones and straws feels like 😁
But I've gone over the whole base with enamel earth tones, the same ones like on the tank, ...
2021-09-02 21:23:53 +0000 UTC View PostToday was a good day
Every day is a good day when you get to smell Mr. Surfacer 1500 😁
I figured it wouldn't be a bad idea to be more productive and lay down the base colors because something tells me I have a lot of work ahead with enamels and painting...
2021-08-31 20:29:31 +0000 UTC View PostReady for airbrushing
My friends, it's that stage where the groundwork, static grass and a few PE weeds are all in place 😊 The vegetation is not done though, I'll be adding some laser cut plants after everything is painted - ivy, ferns, etc.
The ground i...

No, these don't do them too many favors, but I'm not trying to hide any flaws from you :) It's a good reminder how much room for improvement I have in the figure department.
2021-08-29 21:17:41 +0000 UTC View PostFinally ready for the serious stuff :)
My friends, the multi-colored diorama base you've been seeing for a few weeks is no more. It's ready for ground texture, vegetation and all the extra fun stuff 😁The only thing that makes me slightly sad is another mishap in my composition. The ...

My friends, there's a moment when things are just done and any extra work or effort to improve them would be detrimental. Yup, this is the case!
But let me talk about a small detail which drove me nuts. All it takes is one weirdly scul...

That's enough leather for a lifetime!
My friends, I got both leather jackets done and on top of that I painted their belts, pistol holsters and other small things which luckily weren't made from leather 🥲
I also added some dirt and weathering on their pants, completely ...
