My friends, work continues on adding more of the concrete-like texture. I started by brutalizing the hull and removing the plastic fenders. Then it was again about replicating the textures from ref...

My friends, the turret is now fully textured and ready to be finished with some missing details and weld beads!
This was a real blast. Following references, I removed the pre-molded wel...

My friends, here's some small progress on the new project - the JS-2 I mentioned a while ago! This tank is going to be all about MAD textures. I'll try to follow reference images as closely as poss...

My friends, yesterday and earlier today I focused all my effort on painting the remaining terrain. It went smoothly at first, but then it didn't so much... I kept using the same techniques and pain...

My friends, this took a couple of days but I think the trench is pretty much finished. I might add a tiny bit of water at the bottom, though.
I repeated the same techniques as on that f...

My friends, yesterday I started painting the diorama. I had to use a spray can for priming because it would take hours with an airbrush :D
The base colors were sprayed as following: Fla...

I think figures look better if they're photographed in their "natural" setting, so to say! :)

Now onto the diorama, my friends! I also completed the video so now it's time to prime the scene in black or mahogany brown primer and start post-shading.
I haven't painted heads that a...

My friends, work continues on the figures and also outside the workbench.
As usual, the black and white pre-shading doesn't work on all surfaces, but so far, at least from what I've exp...

My friends, last night I added the tracks, gave them a rather rusty appearance (because this is going to be another abandoned tank) and sprayed the exhaust soot.
Regarding the loose dir...

My friends, here are some simple earth effects. My guess is that this tank was rather clean thanks to its hidden running gear and most dirt would remain contained there. To change things up I used ...

Lots of questions = very long video. Play it as a podcast while you're building models, not just collecting them!

I've been thinking about this idea since yesterday. On one hand, I want to "try something new" with every model this year, but this idea is just too good! And I wanted to build a proper, heavily te...

Exhausts were first painted in...
