You can now enjoy this big chungus properly. There's always something about these photos that feels... I don't know, rewarding I guess. Sometimes there are days where I'm just not feeling it, I don...

But first I need to make 2 videos, one about tree branches and the other about all the finishing techniques and stowage.
Also this whole series will end with t...

Creating stowage after the model is finished is not a great idea at all my friends, especially when you want to work efficiently! Oh how naive I was thinking it can be all done in one day... someho...

There's no going back now, the fir branches are glued in place 😁 I was so nervous in the morning when I was starting to work on them - are they gonna look too artificial? Out of place? Not fit t...

Also, today marks the end of the Jagdtiger weathering stage! Not sure if it lives up to the hype, I kinda didn't want to overdo anything and I was also quite lazy towards the end, but pretty much e...

Hello my friends, sorry for dropping off the face of the earth over the weekend! The weather turned beautiful, it was cold but sunny, so I spent most of it in the middle of nowhere basically😆To ...

Let's see how much is the model going to change between these pictures and final, like totally 100% final shots 😁 Also, the new video is in 4K and it's gonna be siiiiick!

My friends, tracks are in place! They were weathered with the same paints as the JT. This time I didn't apply any Tamiya predusting on the blackened surface and went straight ahead with small amoun...

My friends, it's time for some weathering! The weather outside is disgusting, so it's the best time for modelling, and yesterday I was tested negative in our country-wide Covid testing.
Here's a still shot of the Canon footage, it takes incredible close-ups and also the colors can be dialed perfectly!
I finished the video last night, so it's back to the workbench today...

These were still shot on the old camera, because I haven't spent too much time learning how to work with...

Another post about new goodies 😁
First and foremost, I bought a Canon EOS M50 which I'll be using instead of the old Nikon D5100. It can film in 4K, has some basic stabilization, als...

My friends, today I kicked the propeller, as we say here, and done a ton of work 🥱
Rust tones done all around the tank, now it looks like proper metal, but of course, as usual, a lot of th...

Cheeps are done! 😁 I'm so sorry for taking so long, but this is a big model, and it takes time.
But things need to change, at least for a little bit. I chipped the lower half of the ...

This is how oil paints can change the model my friends, when you compare these with the previous batch, the results are like two different models! But then again that's to be expected when you pret...

My friends, this step took way longer than I expected. Adding all these fake lights and shadows, basically color modulation with oil paints, can be so tedious, and to be honest, quite boring after ...

My friends, next step was blending oil dots. It's one of those "invisible" steps again, because I kinda prefer to keep it rather subtle, because it's easy to change the tone of the model too much i...
