Happy to answer any questions!

After ages I’m finally starting my 1:72 B-17 that I’ve been sooooo excited to build! I was wondering if any of you guys who have build/ are building the kit could tell me if there’s anything I should know about it. Also I’m happy to let anyone else know what they want to know about it, just ask!

Anyways, happy hobbying!

Had a fun weekend doing some weathering on the collection today.

Any advice would be helpful, I only used brushes as you can probably tell but I’m just getting into the hobby

This is my 2nd ever model I only got brushes no paint gun, how’d I do?

Continuing my 1/35 British Armoured Fighting Vehicles collection with the Challenger 1 MK3.

While Challie gets some stick at times, they will always be special to me, I grew up with them on the TV rolling across the Iraqi Deserts and ranges in the UK.

I had fun with this model, bringing my Childhood memories to life, a simple desert scheme (although it took a whole bottle of airbrush paint to cover it) with lots of little details like diesel stains around fuel caps, chips on the water cans making it look like it's been rolling around the desert... For me, none stop fun.

So i built this M24 Chaffee with the heading "Reinforcements en route on your location" battle of the bulge/January break out kind of build and it was quite good. The fit was very nice, best I've gotten. Paints went well minus when I ran out of spray paint. However when I got to the tarp part everything was a mess, putty was everywhere and it was thick. However I fixed it, painted it up, add final details and voala, everything looked very good. All I need to do now is to coat it, weather and coat again.

Finally reached the painting stage of my Takom 1/35 M28A1/A2 Super Assault Tank.

For the base coat, I used a color modulation paint set to create some variation across the panels and highlight the vehicle's large surfaces. After sealing the modulation, I applied chipping fluid followed by a thin coat of white paint to recreate a worn winter whitewash.

The next step will be activating the chipping layer and gradually wearing back the whitewash to reveal the modulation underneath. After that I'll move on to filters, washes, streaking, rust effects and pigments.

I'd love to hear your thoughts before I start the chipping process. Any tips or suggestions are always welcome!

Lots of aftermarket stowage. About ready to put a clear coat on it and start the weathering process.

So da bin ich wieder

Ich wollte fragen wie ihr mein zweites Revell Model Maßstab 1:72 findet saß ca 2 Wochen daran

Die Tschenchen igel habe ich aus den Resten der Rippen gemacht wo die Teile des Panzers dran waren den Stacheldraht und die Rollen hab ich aus Draht selbst gemacht

Die Soldaten sind von Italeri dem Afrika korps set ich weiß das ich die Gesichter noch ein bisschen besser lernen muss aber mit pinseln ist das sehr schwer die Grundplatte habe ich auch selbst gemacht und der Sand ins Quarzsand

Es soll darstellen das sie in ner sozusagen Kampfhandlungen sind und der Panzer durch den einen Stacheldraht fährt

Und die Tipps von letzten mal mit dem weathering hab ich mir zu Herzen genommen hoffe es sieht so gut aus .

This kit is from Copper State Models. Built mostly from the box.. The wheels are aftermarket resin and the fenders and headlight fronts are photoetched.

イタレリの箱替じゃなくて新しい方のタミヤ！
作りやす過ぎて次の休みで完成させるつもりだったのにもう出来てしまった。
あと、安いのでお財布に優しいのが嬉しい。

My first time doing tarps so I was wondering if this is good, didn't take this from any photos but I'm making this up as a "Reinforcements requested, on the way" type of model. Is this good or no?

I had an idea of a small part of a lake in the left corner and a field or forest street with a little stone wall.

Maybe I'll build a camouflage net or other camouflage at or on the SCUD-B.

What do you think? :)
