Figure time!

My friends, after another busy weekend I managed to do some progress and steer the diorama more towards the finish line. Last night I painted the concrete light pole and glued it to the ground. Tod...

The power of acrylics and enamels!

My friends, concrete made from cork is the real deal because you can safely weather it with enamels - styrofoam concrete would get destroyed with enamels!

Compared to the previous post, I add...

Let there be concrete!

My friends, the demolition and pipework on my bathroom is over and next are the tiles... in other news, I planted the grass, and started painting the concrete slabs. I didn't have enough energy tod...

Industrial lamp

Because making lamps in 3D is pretty fun! This one even comes with a light bulb inside. Again, in 1/35 scale.

Diorama, let's go!

My friends, after a fruitful weekend and today spent listening to the soothing sounds of electric hammers I have the basic shape of the diorama. 

I actually started by something relaxing...

Welding bottles

3D printable welding bottles of different sizes... because gluing and sanding the Miniart ones is too tedious! 

PS: these are modeled in 1/35 scale

Some extra old building references!

I managed to snap a few more pictures of old warehouses while I was buying grain for my grandpa's chickens, and now I have the strongest urge to build another one :D

Ready for the diorama!

My friends, I finished the building and it was a very tight time schedule! 

Luckily, the corrugated roof went much smoother than the gable because I used pewter foil instead of copper, a...

This was tough!

My friends, one part of the roof is finished, and it wasn't as easy as it might seem! The whole thing is made from copper sheet. I first had to fabricate a template from plastic which I then used t...

Windows 98

My friends, a lot went down since the last update. Last week, before putting the video together, I quickly made a couple of metal fixtures for the front wall. Because I was too lazy to order some U...

My friends, I'm sorry for the delay. As mentioned in the previous post, I had to upload it on a mobile internet, so it took forever. As I'm posting this, the video quality is still being processed,...

My friends, here are proper pictures of the styrofoam warehouse before I start adding plastic, metal, and 3D printed details.

Paints, paints, paints

Just acrylic paints because enamels would melt your styrofoam building!

New building in the process

My friends, the last time we made a styrofoam building was almost a year ago! This time it's going to be an old warehouse right next to the rusty Conqueror. You might've noticed some similarity wit...

An exercise in finishing a rusted-out tank as quickly as possible :D

Some old building references

Because we didn't have these in a while! I'll need some of those for the Conqueror diorama, so maybe some of you will find them handy as well :)

Finish line!

My friends, this project was... well, one of the biggest tanks I've ever painted, and one of the fastest projects at the same time! 

Quantity is a quality all its own, or something like ...

Properly rustified

My friends, I added the enamel rust effects. As expected, only some chipped areas were suitable for them, mainly the worn edges and chipped green paint. However, considering the size of this model,...

Wash and drybrush

My friends, what a difference can two techniques make! Taking the worn base coat from last week, I gave the entire model a meticulous pinwash made from Winter Streaking Grime. This color was also b...

Ready for weathering

My friends, I added the scrapyard markings, post-shaded the surface, sealed it with a final flat coat, and blackened the tracks. Time to put the airbrush away and switch to enamels (mostly)! <...
