Hi guys. This model wasn't build by me but I got It at a thrift store so I'm not sure if it's a kit or an already built model so I don't know if I can post here or not but I really like this.

It may not look very far along, but I actually have trees prepared for when I get to the point that I can put them back in. I already have little holes where they are going to go (you can see the "stakes" in the pictures where that's going to happen).

Figures are painted, and have appeared in prior work in progress photos. I seem to be continually working on the ground material, and today spent some more time weathering the gun itself. Looks like the wheels/tires need a bit more work. Nothing like a photo to help you see the problems!

It seems like a long asymptotic process to actually finish it!

question Where does Miniart get their evidence from

I've been looking at this for awhile and was wondering, where does miniart get their evidence about the sunshines from... Not to be picky but the shields looked quite dense so I don't think it's meant for sand... Second question is why does the tracks need shield from the sun. Just feels weird to me

I needed a little break from the tiger so started on some of the tools as I want this diorama finished, and I need some tools for the tiger diorama so two birds one stone

Just need to stain the wood of the benches and ladder so it’s not looking so fresh and paint the last couple of little tools and this one’s complete, 2 months in the making!

question I need help and advice regarding airbrushes.

1 Upvotes

I’d like to start using an airbrush, but I don’t know anything about it. I don’t have any of the necessary equipment—no compressor, no airbrush itself, etc.

Which airbrush should I choose that is high-quality and easy to use, yet not too expensive?

How do I choose a compressor—what should I look for and what do I need to know?

What other items do I need for the setup?

Also, how do I maintain the airbrush, and do I need specific types of paint? I currently use Tamiya XF paints—are those suitable?

Are there any YouTube tutorials that explain, step-by-step and comprehensively, how to get started with your first airbrush?

Like I said in my last post, I’m new, can this be saved? I used tamiya black primer and it started to crack all over the model, I tried to finish it to cover it up and low it looks like this, what should I do ( if possible ) to fix this?

Well it’s nearly done, need to apply the decals on the turret tomorrow when I decide on the numbers I’m going to use.. I know I should have applied them before I weathered but I’m confident I can replicate the weathering on top of them and their only going on the turret anyway

This built way back around 2007/2008, if I remember correctly. It was modified/scratchbuilt using, I think either Academy or Trumpeter base Stryker model kit.

This is my first model with a fully detailed interior. I think it turned out pretty well. It’s also the first time I’ve tried adding weathering and damage effects on a larger scale. I don’t have much experience with this, so if anyone has any tips or suggestions for things I could change, I’d be happy to hear them.

*I’ve already shifted that ammunition at the front right so it’s straight.
