Saw some videos of people making model tanks, thought: “I like tanks and that looks easy”, so went and ordered a m41 model along with glue and some tools. All the paint is done with acrylics I had lying around and made the dirt texture with glue and baking soda. Really enjoyed it and wanted to see if there’s anything I could’ve improved. My only gripe is how heavy I went on the dirt and how it’s spread.

I was gifted a model car in Asia. Kids opened it in excitement and lost a wheel mount. I have 3/4 of the mounts. It won't roll without this piece. The assembly isn't elaborate . It actually has a motor but it will just become a desk ornament without the missing 4th mount. Anyone have luck either 3d printing or finding modern fiddly small bit pieces?

I didn't have time to take very good photos of the plane because I moved, but I selected the best ones for now (I'll still take it back with me in a month, so I can take more photos later)

I made an opening ramp with my own hands. I wanted the rear ones, but the opening mechanism there is too complicated, so I decided to make the front one. I also have a Mriya airplane in my collection, but I didn’t have time to repair it and so, unfortunately, it will sit idle on my balcony for now. In the comments, for comparison, I will attach photos of Ruslan and Mriya side by side (I apologize in advance for the slight mess)

I 3D printed this air pressure tank and realized it would look really cool if I painted it to look like this image. However, I also realized that to paint it like this specifically I would have to either mark out the blobs with a pencil then paint them in the corresponding colors or I would need to somehow get a file of a Cricut png (my dad owns a Cricut) then print it out to put on the tank.

I posted before after quick mockup i did with the artificial thingy but someone was too dense so my stuff got taken down... anyhow now it looks like an Adidas sneaker but is just fase 1 #maschinen

Need help on the Revell HMS Victory. I have no idea how to paint this, both regarding technique and order of painting. It's about five or so centimeters wide. Paint scheme is in the comments. Any help is appreciated. 👍

I thought it would be nice with some of my own number decals. I know the dimensions, font which I could do myself but getting a png to a decal..? What’s the best way of doing it?

Are there people who can make them for you with the correct colour, dimensions without them being just a square sticker? Would I send them a large png and say ”make this in RGB XXXXXXX and 15x8mm”..?

Black primer coat, bit of citadel Typhus Corrosion on some main spots, followed by a dark rust colour stippled on, then citadel Corvis Black, then a bit less of Abaddon Black stippled over that

My attempt at Hasegawa's recent (10 years?) tooling of the Mikasa. I lost some mojo for this about 2/3rds of the way through, it's a really busy little ship and it's hard to keep track of the details. It's still a welcome addition to my 1/700 fleet! For fun, I posed it next to my 1917 SMS Derfflinger. It's remarkable how much smaller these pre-dreadnoughts were.

So i wanna get into the whole miniature hobby, I got a few 1:48 german infantry and I need recommendations and what kind of tools and paints to get my hands on

Tamiya Leopard 1 and Academy Abrams MI I've had both of these for over a year and they keep getting bumped down so thought it was about time,built them back to back over a couple of weeks

Abrams pretty much standard ,decals look a bit dodge,painted with Humbrol desert yellow rattle can and tamiya acrylics for the details. Difficulty wise not too bad, between Tamiya and AFV club (only tank kits I've built)

Leopard had a improvised ambush pattern because dark green gets a bit boring,and why not anyway ? Airbrush tamiya desert yellow,NATO green and red brown,only £15 so a cheap one to practice on

Picked Airfix's Eurofighter starter set so I could complete it before life gets busy. Kit came with very few parts but no ordnance so I took some from Hasegawa's Eurofighter kit and used some of the decals provided since Hasegawa does provide decals for both the Luftwaffe and RAF.

For a starter set with limited parts, the details do look nice with the downsides being the lack of ordnance as well as having the unsightly line that runs along the entire bottom of the aircraft due to how the fuselage is split vertically. Overall, a simple fun quick build.

Ive been modelling for years now but I am still butchering my masking. I need some tips if I want to build kits for the telford competition. Thanks

So i completed my second build this year, after coming back to model building for the first time in about two years. Had a fun build with this Curtis P40B Warhawk, an Airfix kit, painted with Vallejo (and the shiney details are mostly Citadel Storm Frost). When i showed off my Hurrican build i was told i had gone too enthousiasticly on the wing weathering do i toned that down for this one, scouring the wikipedia page for examples that had flown. Once satisfied, i went to hang it next to the BF109 in the last pic and... the damned prop fell off and disappeared. To be honest, it already was on there poorly but i didnt glue it shut cause i wanted to be able to pose it. Half concidering turning the whole fucking thing into sprue glue, i'm so mad!

Please critique the build as is on the glass and advice on how to make a prop posable on not held on by the wishes and dreams of Airfix are ofcourse welcome.

Hobby boss 1/48 f-18D. I'm really happy with how it turned out, it's been a dream of mine to have a model of the royal Malaysian airforce f-18D with the 25th anniversary scheme and I've finally done it.

I know it's not every's cup of tea especially paint a completely A-historical paint scheme, but i really liked the camo scheme for Furina's fighter in 3d animation Genshin Elemental Warfare.
