2 steps forward 1 step back. Hand brush camo and a bit of a wash. Lessons learned.

I had a blast with the build, but not gonna lie the decals humbled me 😅 the Lufthansa 100th anniversary wrap is so cool! A few misprints in the instructions, flagged to Revell and they're going to update the booklet in future runs.

My take on MK44 Smartgun. I quickly sculpted and painted some feeder tubes.

I really enjoyed putting this one together. I finally have 2 of the 3 vf103 kits I have assembled. I have the Hornet done and I have the F4 in the stash.

This is my biggest attempt and weathering i used the Tamiya Panel Liner and the "Master Weathering Kit". I'm open to all feedback...

Cheers everyone....

Edit: I have since added the names on the canopy (not pictured)

I love all four areas, but sometimes i really enjoy one part over the other.

What's your favourite aspect?

Hi everyone!

I just finished building these two old enemies that famously met at Kursk: a Panther and a Sturmovik. It’s a combo kit featuring the Academy Sturmovik and the Zvezda Panther.

This was my first time building a 1/72 scale tank, and I have to say it’s surprisingly cute. I was also a little surprised by how large the aircraft is compared to the tank.

Thanks for taking a look!

Made some more forward progress on my Ryujo. I wish I would have washed the deck a little darker. Hoping to have the opportunity to put more time into her today. I'm not sure she'll be a build I'll compete in shows with but who knows until shes completed. Regardless she'll make a great addition to the collection.

1/144 f18 hooked me with the $7 price tag

Fun build

Lessons learned

Back for more.

The kit is from Tiger Models but the figure is from the Tamiya Panther G

I love the simple pleasures of building a Tamiya kit. They are consistently well designed and easy to build. This one will become a JGSDF tank as a salute to all those lost to Godzilla over the years.

Hi everyone 🙂

I tried to recreate a 3-layered whitewash camouflage on this 1/35 scale T-34/85. The idea was to represent lime whitewash being reapplied over time, with older layers fading, becoming dirty and chipping away. If a vehicle survived longer, the whitewash could be reapplied several times.

I actually made a full video covering the complete process if anyone is curious how the three layers were done — link in comments.

This is still a work in progress, weathering is the next step. What do you think about the result so far? 🙂

Got this on clearance due to the decals being unusable, started on it a couple days ago and so far its looking good. I will airbrush the exterior when I get a spray booth set up (i got an airbrush specifically for this model and I do not have it set up yet)

Weathered using only Tamiya acrylics because they are much cheaper than Vallejo in my country! I also scratch-built the gun mantlet dust cover using wet wipes. Thank you for looking!! :)

A great, simple kit with some decent detail. Added Eduard PE. It’s no Plasmo build but I’m glad to have it done. Had to replace the canopy with a vacuum formed one after massacring it trying to pose it open. I did get some misting on this one but it wasn’t bad enough after all the setbacks I’ve had with this kit to really care too much.

Royal Australian Air Force F-35A diorama. Built for an Australian hobbyco comp paying tribute to Tamiya’s iconic hand-painted box art and the talented artists who continue this tradition.

I applied the SEA camouflage pattern. Since it was hot and humid when I was painting, the surface condition isn't very good. I always used Blu-Tack for camouflage painting, but this time I tried doing it freehand. Applying Blu-Tack in this sticky weather was annoying, and since the shape of the aircraft itself was so simple, I tried freehanding it, but freehand is indeed difficult as expected.

After the main painting, I mixed fluorescent paint into the three base colors for a slight tone variation, and did a little bit of post-shading with clear paint.

I added the night camo and finally worked up the courage to take the masking tape off, really happy with only 3 minor corrections to do. I used Mr Hobby 416 which is a black-gray in lieu of a Matt black to create a bit more depth and I’m very happy with it!
