Paints are ON

My friends, I started the painting stage, and I wanted to start working on the scene instead of the mech suit. It's a more traditional way for me to first paint and finish the main subject and then...

Trench is ready!

My friends, last night I finished the trench. Pretty much every detail is inspired by 1917, as the first segment of the movie is filled with inspiration. The filmmakers did a great job creating int...

Trip to Spain and AK-Interactive!

My friends, here are some photos from the Spain trip. It's been an adventurous journey, and it took me a couple of days to recover from everything! 

First of all, I went there to film a ...

Trench in progress!

My friends, I've been working on the WW1-style trench for the MaK suit. Working on this scene, one thing keeps popping into my mind - it's bigger than what I'm used to! Working on 1/35 models (prim...

Chubby boi is ready

My friends, our main protagonist is finished and ready for painting. But first, I'll have to construct the trench diorama around him. My idea is that he'll be peeking around the corner, scanning th...

New project!

My friends! It's time for yet another fresh project, and something we haven't done on this channel. I wanted to build the Lend-Lease Valentine as my next model, but this cool little kit arrived in ...

HD photos... in black!

My friends, here are the final pictures of this little vignette, and for the first time in black! I thought the black background (the painted wall in my studio) seemed like a better option than the...

Finished!

My friends, the Dud In Adria vignette is done! I finished it yesterday and spent the majority of today writing a script for the video, and oh boy, it's going to be massive. Almost 40 minutes long w...

Vignette ready

My friends, this ruined landscape was a nice challenge not only because of its composition, but also painting. Because most of the scene is build from styrofoam, this meant I couldn't use any ename...

First paints

My friends, I managed to paint the first two components of the vignette. After giving everything an opaque layer of black primer, I airbrushed the mortar shell as the first important detail. <...

Ready for paints!

My friends, here's the vignette in its raw state. Laminating the sides wasn't a pleasant job at all! But as always, it's a very important part of the scene. 

Another tricky part was the ...

New (mini) project!

My friends, this idea has been sitting in my mind since I started googling reference photos of the Karl Mortar. Two historical photos popped up, taken in Warsaw 1944, showing unexploded shells that...

My friends, at last! 

This vignette is very simple, so I took it as an opportunity to explain and summarize the entire process in detail. Painting the earth on this one was really fun!&n...

Theatrical shots!

My friends, here are the final pictures of the Karl Mortar sitting cozily on a piece of arid Soviet steppe. The crew is taking a break in the hot weather, waiting for the Munitionschlepper to retur...

At last... finish line!

My friends, my memory is rather weak when it comes to modelling projects, but I've got a feeling that this might be the longest project so far, and it's finally done! 

There are a couple...

Base done, time for figures

My friends, I finished the base yesterday. Compared to  my previous post, it has some painted stones, and a dry-brush. I tried painting the large stones in the front in more greyish and lighte...

Real Earth from My Garden (TM) is running out!

My friends, I tried to make something interesting out of this simple scene, but when you have a limited space and the setting is quite sterile (landscaped firing range) there's not that much left t...

Also, a little teaser :)

... and here's a little sneak peek at the next project. I don't want to go into too many technicalities here, but it'll be a Valentine... either Mk IX or IV... in both cases, extremely beaten-up! A...

Base in the works

My friends, thanks again for all of your positive and supportive comments! I started working on a scenic base for the Karl, and it's gonna be a simple one. But that doesn't mean it's not going to b...

Early video (again)

My friends, I reuploaded the latest video to my usual, secondary channel. I changed the URL in the previous post, but it seems that it might've caused a few issues, so just to be safe, here's a bra...

Early video

Here we go, my friends, 32 minutes of high-octane weathering! 

Edit: here's a reupload on my secondary channel with better footage of the finished model :)

HD photos

Dirtied up and finished!

My friends, it's been an exhausting week, but the rewarding part is here - the finished Karl! 

One of my objectives was to finish the model before the weekend, so I could then focus on t...

Ready for earth effects!

My friends, I spent the majority of Friday and today painting all the small surface details on this model, and although it's mostly a grey monster, there are lots of small things in different color...

Rust effects done... and the fruits of my new hobby!

My friends, here's the entire mortar with some subtle (and not so subtle in other areas) rust tones. We all know how tricky it is to apply them over Panzer Grey because rust+grey=base for raw steel...

Subtle rust tones

My friends, I finished chipping the mortar and the cradle, but there's not much to show there - just more of what you saw the other day on the hull :D 

However, here's a glimpse at the u...

Chipping!

My friends, the scariest part of this paint job is turning out to be not scary at all! It's natural to expect that chipping a model like this would be an inhuman task... but if you break a large pr...

Washes done... phew!

My friends, the pin wash is ON, and instead of complaining on how long it took and how much my back hurts from sitting in funny positions because of the hull's complex shape, let's talk about somet...

Pin washing has begun

My friends, the most satisfying and time-consuming technique on this model is in full force! I can't think of any additional poetry to say here, so let's get down to business.
