Rust Effect with Chipping Medium
I'd like to share with you a water-based acrylic technique that I haven't seen on this site before and I hope it will be useful to many of you. (Don't be fooled by the my nickname or the YT channel, I am a hobby model builder and this is [...]
A34 Comet
I recently had to put all my other projects on hold. An old army friend of mine asked me if I could make an A34 Comet tank for him. As it has a time limit it's been pretty full on getting it ready for the presentation it's wanted [...]
Weathering techniques - birds
Interwar aircraft frequently sat around in the open doing very little and as a result were adopted as convenient perches by birds. The bigger the aircraft the more attractive it was. The view was excellent both for warning and spotting [...]
French Army AMX-30B
Finally finished this superb model by Meng.
Originally found in a charity shop, I was amazed that only 1 tiny part was missing. Meng make some very high quality parts, but the tracks were an absolute pain to make and took quite awhile. [...]
Ukrainian BRDM-2UM KFOR, Pristina, Kosovo (Trumpeter 1:35)
This is somewhat off topic (i.e. not part of any group build) but nevertheless recent. Since I wanted to show some support to Ukrainian Europeans currently battling for freedom, I spent quite a bit of hours getting this build done. I [...]
Cold War gone hot Tamiya 1/35 Schutzenpanzer Marder
Here's another vehicle for my Cold War gone hot series. This is the 1/35th Tamiya Marder. Sadly, this old kit is the only early version Marder available, all the others being post 1985. The kit will be depicted rushing past the M48A2GA2 as [...]

1/35 M4A3E8 Sherman Easy Eight by Tamiya
It’s done! This is the Tamiya M4A3E8 Sherman Easy Eight (European Theater) in 1/35 scale.
First of all, this is another great kit by Tamiya. There’s really no problem to build smoothly. The rubber tracks are good too. but personally [...]
1/35 Meng - Sherman Jumbo
I lost count on how many Shermans I've built. But, it was a true pleasure to build this kit. Good fits and well-designed.
The movable tracks are, of course, troublesome to build. But I gotta say it paid off with a more natural and better [...]
1/24 Tamiya Fairlady 240ZG
This is actually my first 100% finished work of 1/24 cars! The rest just kinda didn't work out.
Fairlady 240z is my dream car to own and I do think the ZG version is classic. However, I don't have the feel to make a glossy, clean look and [...]
