Found this kit in the local toy store.
It was a spontaneous idea to join the Group Build on Scalemates.
Saw, bought and built the model within 2.5 hours.
The idea was to paint the whole thing with the paint brush without using the airbrush.
I want to use techniques which were always used on my fantasy tabletop miniatures.
Also want to paint the whole thing only with acrylic colors.
Hope it will work...

Weathering or other depictions of dirt isn´t planned, it should have a more "artistic" look;).
I decided to omit the included base from the kit and build my own.
It consists of a wooden base and self-engraved plastic sheet and parts.
The kit used is a reissue (03229) from 2008.

  1. I don't get it? Is it a Revell or a Matchbox? Or are they the same kit?
    Whatever it is it does look good, and very "artistic". The colors really "pop' and show up well in small scale. Very well displayed too.

  2. In 2,5 hours, absolutely amazing, Simon @s-nagorsnik
    Fantastic "artistic" result on the painting.

  3. Well done, Simon. Small scale armor is difficult to finish realistically.

  4. That was brush-painted? It looks airbrushed. Great work.

  5. Wow, in two and a half hours, I’d still be admiring the box art, reading the instructions, and checking out the reviews on the internet, great work.
