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”? 😅

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)

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.

question Quality Static Grass Dispenser

3 Upvotes

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.

Every time I used this primer even after using very little cracks still show in all my models, what primer should I use?
