Christmas ornament

by Geir Andersen on December 27, 2020
in Uncategorized — 5 Comments

nothing spells Christmas like homemade Christmas ornaments. So, this is mine for 2020. Made with Super Sculpey and painted with acrylics and oil. If any of you played hack and slash RPG in early 2000, you might know where the inspiration came fr[...]

Elvish Assassin

This 1/10 female bust is a resin cast with superb details. I just love the pose and the slight devilish look in her eyes. The plan was to try out NMM (Non-Metallic Metals) but chickened out and went for Citadel metallic paints. Thanks for watching.

I bought this resin bust on a trip to London back in 1998. It had no box or any information, only the resin bust in a plastic bag. I think it’s 1/5 scale but know nothing more about it. Remember this was 7 years before Youtube.com came about an[...]

I bought this 90mm (1/18 scale) metal figure from ANDREA some 10+ years ago. I didn’t get around to building it as my kids took more and more of my spare time. So, after getting back into the hobby I dusted the cobwebs of the box and gave it a g[...]

The harbinger of death

This is my first attempt at painting with oils. It’s oil over acrylics and that seems to work for me, as the oils lend itself better for blending and if you make a mistake you can pull the paint off again with thinner. This model probably wasn’t[...]

This is my first plane since I built some back in the early 70’. Back then we didn’t bother painting the models, only glued them together and slapped on the decals. All in all a fun build but I think I’ll stick to armor models :-)

This is part of a diorama I have planned but it is a long way away. Happy with the model but 1/72 scale is a bit on the small size for me.

As the French army underwent mechanization in the 1920s, the need arose for a small, tracked armored vehicle capable of transporting supplies and weapons to the front lines and towing light artillery. In October 1930, Renault's armored carrier E[...]
