Some details on the turret

My friends, the work continues, and if everything goes well, the turret will be finished tomorrow. And by that point, I think the model will be ready for painting! 

So far I have finishe...

Back and engine deck done!

My friends, these post-covid symptoms suck... but apart from that I'm once again able to move furniture and do model stuff! 

The engine deck was really tedious. Adding all the missing we...

Out of the woods?

My friends, after three days of suffering I'm back on my feet. Covid hit me hard during the first night, feelings of extreme cold and heat, shivers all over my body, sweating, everyone who went thr...

New studio, new project...

I didn't feel like building another huge model, but this Conqueror has been sitting in my cabinet as a shelf queen for years. I started building it a long time ago ...

Wasn't able to surprise my friend with the finished scene and capture our chat on video due to more important stuff (ripping out old floors, lol), but I hope he'll like it!

When it's 1AM, you want to start exporting the video, but you still need to edit the photos... and once they're done and you deleted the original files, you realize that you placed a negative vigne...

Snow, snow, snow!

My friends, the snow is on, and I guess that concludes this project! On one hand I'm sad that I didn't have more to show you, but on the other, I'm glad the scene is finished because I was finally ...

New studio - after and before

Here's what preoccupied me during the weekend! This is the new Night Shift headquarters, before I clutter it with workbenches, studio lights, shelves, and everything gets permanently covered in sta...

Here's a (hopefully) simple scenic base

My friends, I wasn't able to do anything at the workbench during the weekend, so what you see here is a result of Friday and today. 

Well, to be fair, most of the "interesting" work was ...

Muddy and ready!

My friends, I finished the weathering yesterday, and the model is ready to be set in a cold, muddy vignette. 

Unfortunately, I was pressed by time towards the end. Had a word with the co...

And we can get muddy!

My friends, the stowage is done, and it was a pretty fun experience! 

I started with the hard stowage as this needs some basic weathering techniques as well, and I don't like it when ena...

Ready for stowage!

My friends, here's some progress from yesterday and today. Saturday was my friend's wedding so no progress there, so when I think about it, this is quite a lot of work for two days! :)

New project

My friends, this was an exhausting week, but I managed to complete the video and start a new model the other day. This one is special! It's a 1/48th Pz 38t from Tamiya. 

It was built and...

My friends, the leakage problem wasn't such a problem after all and I managed to finish this little diorama today! 

You'll see in pictures 2-3 how the bubbles looked after the first laye...

Ready for water!

And I have a disaster in the making! But first things first.

I finished the Panzer by painting all the details and adding some earth effects. Just as I said in the last post, it was real eart...

Here's our little rust bucket

My friends, the basic colors and effects on the Pz IV are done. 

I wasn't sure how to approach a tank sunken in a river, but I knew it should be kept simple, especially on the hull as th...

Ready for paints I think!

My friends, here's the diorama and it's gonna be pretty small, tight, and compact! 

Learning from the JS-2 diorama I angled the river bank in such a way that it won't obscure anything. A...

Just a simple base

And we're done! This base was cut using a circular jig and because it was rather smooth, I brushed the sides with two coats of thick household acrylic black paint.

Rot n' Roll

My friends, the Beetle is finished and ready for a small scenic base! In this case it's quite necessary because, let's be honest, it sure does look a bit out of place like this, doesn't it?  View Post

Enamels and details done

Airbrushing - check!

This is a weird feeling

My friends, building something that's not a tank is definitely odd! Especially if the kit is simple, small, and just doesn't contain too many parts. Even more when there's not much to modify, impro...
