My friends, I added the loose dirt, dried mud and everything, and I think the model is ready to be cast in resin!
The inspirational photo shows the tank rather clean, I suppose this is ...

My friends, the next step was streaking, griming, greasing, name it whatever you want to call it!
The "lighter" streaks were done with AK Dark Streaking Grime. I don't even know why I d...

My friends, finally a model where I don't have to hold back with rust effects! Because it's all shot-up, abandoned, rotting in water and all.... 😁
Of course, because there's so much rust, ...

Some pin washing, rivet popping and detail painting :) Next up is rustification!

My friends, as if pin washing a WW1 subject wasn't tedious enough, try brush-painting every individual clump of earth on a bombarded landscape! 😆
But it wasn't just that, I also painted th...

My friends, if you hate pin washes, don't pick a WW1 subject!
This simple technique is what I've been putting all my effort into during the past 3 days.
Well, I've also appl...

My friends, say goodbye to airbrush fumes, at least for this project :)
From now on it'll be about washes, detail painting, weathering. Is it weird when the thing I'm looking the most f...

My friends, although I wasn't planning for it, I couldn't help myself, so here's the airbrushed pinwash at it again!
But hey, instead of using my homemade mix of black and brown Tamiya ...

My friends, it feels like I've got my mojo back.
Yesterday was pretty weird, because I didn't feel too good and I had to overcome one huge issue. I knew I ran out of black Mr. Surfacer,...

My friends, today I'll start airbrushing the entire scene! 🥳
I only added the metal "pigtail" anchors for barbed wire and a shoulder strap for the Enfield rifle. Editing the video wa...

My friends, it's weird when the groundwork is basically finished but it covers only about 20% of the diorama.
But what's more interesting is the magic lightweight putty I used to create...

First of all, thank you for being patient with me. I think my personal str...

My friends, I ultimately decided against the AMX-50 vignette because I'd be forcing it real hard, but it only meant a start for a new project! And it's gonna be that WW1 diorama with water! 2022-02-01 22:25:50 +0000 UTC View Post
My friends, here's the finished figure, and, in fact the entire AMX-50B project! I decided that the scenic base would be very "forced" from my perspective, so the best course of action is to put it...
