Mud tones (finally) done

My friends, heavy mud finishes always take the longest because there's just way too many layers at play. But, BUT! I've finally got them done! 

The pre-dusted upper surface were first tr...

Early video

Okay, after my initial skepticism, the washes, chips, and rust tones actually made quite a difference! Enjoy!

Dustify!

My friends, I had to take a break from my workbench session to show you this mid-stage progress on the earth tones. You know I'm probably the last guy who'd blow his own trumpet, but this time I'm ...

Mudify!

My friends, after finding some good inspiration during a walk in a rather muddy forest this weekend I proceeded to weather the tracks. 

I used the same methods as on the lower hull and t...

Gettin' muddy!

Muh friends, my apologies! I don't know what happened, but I just had the weirdest mental block in a long time. As I was getting ready to start adding mud effects to the lower hull, I simply froze ...

Okay, this one is a bit on the short side, but I think it gets the point (and weird thinking) across :)

My friends, the phone camera is getting deceived with every batch of photos, lol. These pics show the AMX how it actually looks like, and oh boy, it looks even sweeter on video, no doubt thanks to ...

Los detailos

My friends, the details, welds, small crap, and all the other things are painted! So this means the frog is ready for earth effects and that's where we'll see if this whole experiment is gonna be a...

Gettin rustyyy

My friends, the rust effects over chips are done, and I think they're starting to tone down the heavy posh-shading. It's not a heavy oil dot filter that covers up the entire surface, thus toning th...

Finally, let's kick this year off with a build video!

Sheeping

My friends, the next step was chipping, all done using the standard approach - sponge for light chips and Dark Rust (Panzer Aces) for the steel chipping. I would've finished this step yesterday, bu...

When a pin wash is (almost) irrelevant

My friends, I decided to kick off this weathering with a wash, and what a bamboozle it was. To get some practice, I started with a few weld beads and it was very surprising to see how they made alm...

The science behind choosing new projects

My friends, here's a small story that happened during the holidays 😁 

As I was waiting for the Christmas dinner, I had some time to kill so I started googling random historical vehicl...

Back after the holiday break

My friends, first of all, I wish you the best in 2022! Let's hope it'll be finally better than the previous year (or the year before that). As the minutes were closing in on midnight on Friday, I t...

It's that time of the year again

My friends, I wish you all Merry Christmas. I hope you'll find something nice under the tree, be it a new kit or something completely different. But more importantly, good times with your family an...

Back on my feet! Also, the plot THICKENS

My friends, I can finally walk without a crutch, and it doesn't matter if it's just around the house or it's a long walk outside! You must've sent me tons of calcium because my bones look MINT. So ...

Well, it ain't orange anymore

My friends, you've seen a paintbrush telegraph pole, now get ready for a brush gun barrel! The start of the spraying session was a disaster struck moment, because I've run out of black primer! So I...

Pimp my Ateliers de construction d'Issy-les-Moulineaux-50

Muh friends, the AMX-50 is ready for painting! 

The model was a bit bland, definitely a nice canvas for painting, but still... it lacked some extra surface details. So after using the re...

My friends, the welding on this tank is really crazy. The entire turret is just randomly welded from various steel plates 😁But I've got that out of the way, as well as some casting seam lines on...

Lots of scribing and texturing

My friends, the running gear has been successfully snapped off and re-glued into correct position. But another tedious task was scribing! Yes, there are the obligatory weld lines (the turret has so...
