Base coat done

My friends, this time we're playing with VERY contrasting Panzer Grey! One thing that slightly bugged me on the BMR-3 was the rather dark color of the vehicle, although accurate, but still a bit on...

Before & after HD shots

Some proper pictures to immortalize the old Panzer II. I'm awaiting all the "it was better before" jokes πŸ˜†

New 3D stuff

MG34 ammo canister and a random rural civilian metal "bowl" or whatever it's called 😁 Already scaled down to 1/35

Happy printing!

Aaaand we're ready for paints

My friends, even if this was a simple "upgrade" build, it felt more exhausting than the BMR-3 πŸ₯± Friul tracks for this tank were probably the worst I've assembled yet, as always, each link had to...

Great news everyone!

Great success! The paint is gone, and it went without a hitch. Almost! The VMS Clean Slate worked like a dream, I just poured it over the model with a pipette and then attacked the surface with a p...

Let's gooo!

My friends, UVZ (not the Ural Vagon Zavod in Russia, but Uncle's Vagon Zavod in Slovakia πŸ˜†) never sleeps. The BMR-3M is officially done and off my desk and this is the best timing ever, the Friu...

aaaand it's done!

My friends, the end is here! The final touches took forever compared to the initial weathering steps... it's again that weird spot where you spend more time just thinking about what to do and where...

Alright, I think it's almost done

My friends, today I learned something very important. You know how back in one of the final Jagdtiger episodes I talked about hitting a point when you don't know what to add, what's missing and you...

So here's my 3D stuff for download

Aight, last spam post for tonight, I've setup a google drive folder with all 3D models I did so far. Please tell me the link works!

Some nice references from today's hike

Also my friends, today I found a wicked looking forestry machine with top-class weathering that would make any modeller moist. Not just awesome dry and damp mud effects, but also packed snow in the...

Getting closer to the finish line!

My friends, the lower half of the model is finished, at least I think. The tracks are now permanently in place and I'm slowly working my way to the upper portions of the vehicle. So yeah, it's gonn...

I did some googling and here are a few ideas

My friends, thank you for all the responses and suggestions for the Panzer II! 

To be honest, I was a bit surprised the original paint scheme didn't get much love, my original idea was t...

Ok so I dry-assembled the model just for these pictures, and it's starting to look the part 😁Enjoy!

Some LEDs and possible next project?

Whoa, two posts in a row 😁 I finally bought and installed some RGB strips in the geek corner. They're not very strong though, so I don't know how they'll look combined with studio lights. <...

Ready for DIRT!

Although it already looks kinda finished? 🀣 Is that the power of pre-shading and pre-dusting? Who knows! 

Anyway, my friends, of course the chipping didn't take just one day, why woul...

Details, washes, some chipping...

My friends, we're almost ready for dust and mud effects! I did quite a lot of work on the BMR, although I must admit I wasn't as "progressive" with the order of techniques like on those mine roller...

Both sides are ready!

Not as much work has been done on Friday my friends, but yesterday I finished the second mine roller. It's not as fun when you're doing the same thing twice πŸ˜† So I tried to make it slightly diff...

Basic modelling tools on a budget!

Some quick weathering

My friends, the basic tools video turned out beautifully! I probably spent more time setting up the lights and camera than filming, needless to say it's a true night shift episode because I filmed ...

Uh-oh

Well, I just prepared all the stuff I consider to be the most basic - including some things which are similar, but each might suit someone else, and it's a lot of stuff to talk about!

Video idea

My friends, so I finished the BMR-3 painting video and I'm going to film the next video about modelling tools.

The idea is this: do it as a "basic tools every modeller should have" but breaki...

Pre-dusting on another level!

My friends, the next step wasn't detail painting after all. I decided to take a similar route like with the T-90 where I laid out the basic dust tones at the very beginning. Just with one small dif...
