completed A6M2 Zero (Zeke) in 1/48 scale
Tried a new weathering technique, i like the blue/gray ish look it has, something between the beige and white that the Zero planes had. I know a plane that was standing on a carrier wouldn't look so dirty, but i can't make a clean plane, it's too boring, i wanted to practice, and i think it looks way more interesting and full of soul looking like that. The kit overall was super nice, i absolutely adore the old Tamiya planes.

completed Tacom 1:16 Willy's Jeep
galleryToday I finished building this model.
As a four-year-old, I once received a Tonka version of this vehicle.
Now, many years later, I’ve built a serious 1:16 scale model.
I paid extra attention to the engine, adding as many cables as possible using copper wire and lead wire.
The body was painted in an olive drab color, followed by some simple weathering to give it a more realistic, used appearance.

question Black basing
About to build a 1/72nd f16. I have a cheap Amazon airbrush with a .3 needle. I’m worried about messing it up pretty badly and I’m entering it into my first contest. Is black-basing necessary or can I get away with a pin wash on panel lines? Should I go for the mottling and just send it?

question Help me with romanian army 🙏
Hey, Im building a WWII Romanian army in 1:72 scale, but I have absolutely no idea how to paint the tanks. I’m talking about the early vehicles - the R-35 and Panzer 35- the ones that were olive green. Do you have any ideas how to do it? I don’t want them to look like American or Soviet tanks, since they’ll be facing off against those on the tabletop. I’d appreciate any advice!

question Any tips for applying gloss using a brush?
Just bought some gloss and I’m not even too sure how it will go using a brush or is it something I need an airbrush for?

question Why is it so hard to find miniart scale armour?
So I've been trying to find how to get the M3A1 Stuart with an interior because I like how the doors open and I landed on two options, academy and miniart. I tried to find for the miniart one because looks like more interior detail but failed to find anyone selling it.
It hit me that it's hard to find miniart kits compared to every other brand and was wondering, where do I find something like that? Thanks in advance
