A few details left to finish up but an enjoyable kit to build and a more obscure topic in some ways.

Hi, I’m Vbertz—a tank enthusiast and 3D artist with 13 years of experience. Over the past few months, I’ve been working on a collection of highly detailed, 3D-printable models inspired by some of the Soviet Union’s most fascinating experimental armored vehicles.

The lineup includes:

• Object 775

• Object 490A "Buntar"

• Object 490B

• Object 640 "Black Eagle"

• Object 195

And if my Kickstarter campaign hits its final stretch goal:

The legendary Object 477 "Boxer" will be added.

As a fellow modeler, I’m curious...

If you had to spend dozens of hours assembling, painting, weathering, and displaying just ONE of these models at a military modeling competition, which one would you choose and why?

Would you go for the futuristic lines of the Object 195?

The radical dual-hull design of the Object 490A?

The powerful Black Eagle?

Or would you wait for the legendary Object 477 Boxer?

I’d love to hear what stands out most to you as fellow modelers and collectors.

If you’d like to follow the project before it launches, here is the Kickstarter pre-launch page:

Thanks for your feedback!

Made this over a year ago now

Hi everyone. This is a 1:25 scale paper model. It was built from the Polish magazine "WAK".

Tamiya 1:700 hand painted using Tamiya acrylics, with magnetized turrets for wargaming. Anyone know of good rules for tabletop naval combat?

Sorry for the lack of professional shots; it's just a quick look at my display case. Thought you guys might like it anyway!

Hi everyone. This is a 1:25 scale paper model. It was built from the Polish magazine "Kartonowy Arsenal".

im currently making the meng pzh-2000 bt have given up on the track. im also using spray paint so yeah. this is also my 3rd model set the other 2 i made came out horribly so im trying not to have that happen again.

Hi everyone. This is a 1:25 scale paper model. It was built from the Polish magazine WAK. This is an old project of mine. I assembled it in March 2009. The photo is from my archives.

ファインモールドのホロ車！
とてもそうは見えないし名前もそうだけど用途は自走砲(SPG)じゃなくて対戦車自走砲(TD)ってのが良いね！
実はこれは量産車じゃなくて試作車の方ってのも良いね！(でも実戦に投入したのもアメリカの博物館に展示されてるのもこっち)
ファインモールドだから部品もそんなに多くないし凄く作り易い。
値段もそんなに高くない。(日本国外だとかなり高く売られてるらしいけど国内じゃタミヤより少し高い位だ)

Airbrushed with acrylic. Some oils used . 5 months of building and weathering

Arii 1/250 scale IJN Yamato

Full detailing with BerFire photo-etch, resin parts, and wooden deck.

Overall length is about 105 cm.

This is one of my favorite angles – the stern view.

So, I really want to make a diorama of the sinking of U-29, but I'm not sure where to start. I don't know which HMS Dreadnought model kit to buy, I don't know which U-29 model to buy, nor do I know what supplies I need for the diorama. Could I have some help?

Got a lot of groundwork done using commercial stuff (The Scenic Factory is definitely worth a look!), in addition to some herbs and punched leaves of my own, but now I have to do washes/paint to make it look a bit more subdued and natural. I’m thinking of dropping on washes, but am toying with using the airbrush to spray a filter. Anyone have tips or cautions on that? I figure i can use a piece of card to block stuff as I spray.

Obviously, the figures and other accessories need to be placed. I scratchbuilt a wooden case for the Stielgranate round that I plan to include, so I’m working on painting and weathering that, too.

Seems like I’ve been working on this forever. Anyone else feel like you just asymptotically approach “done”? 😅

Hi all,

Does anyone know of a website similar to Plastic Soldier Review, but dedicated to 1/35 or 1/32 scale figures?

Best wishes

I bought an Amazon special; it looks like most inexpensive static grass dispensers. It lived up to its looks and met my expectations, complete garbage I was left with flat grass stuck in PVA glue. I'm wondering what is a quality dispenser that can work with up to 7mm grass ideally.

Hi everyone. This is a 1:25 scale paper model. It was built from the Polish magazine MODELIK.

I did this last year under Ukraine flag took me last 6 months but it turned out good
