rom1 Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 Bonjour! ;^) I'm back to armor modeling after a two year break. It is the Takom first release with the Blastmodel crew figures and packs. The other figure is from Deskit and the pets are from reality in scale. Painted with gunze using the bluetac technique. Chipping with Prince August acrylics, weathering with natural earth and pigments, oils... Hope you like it! Romain 22 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimbob1974 Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 That's fantastic I always love to see WW1 tanks. The weathering is grate and I love the tracks. That kit is now on my wish list Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carius Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 SUPERB. EXCELLENT BUILT AND FINISH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rom1 Posted April 12, 2015 Author Share Posted April 12, 2015 thank you guys! Yes, the exhausts pipe deserve more flat varnish. I'll correct that point. As for the cat, I fear I can't slim him down ^^ I guess this pets set is much more 1/32nd or 45mm scale. Bye! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy Moore Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 That's one of the best St. Chamond's I've seen. The camo looks fantastic and the figures and cat and dog really bring it to life. It's one I've been thinking about building for a while but I'll wait and see what the forthcoming HobbyBoss version is like first Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bbudde Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 Wonderful camo . Love that. I guess, I will use it on a modern tank like a M-113 or so. That will be fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nick32 Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 Stunning work, perfect in every way. Can you tell me how you made the base? Specifically the texture/dirt? Thanks, Nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rom1 Posted April 16, 2015 Author Share Posted April 16, 2015 Hi, As for the base, I used a wooden plate found in an Arts and crafts store. I spread some spackle/sealer (the kind of stuff used for renovation works) using a wet big brush. As the layer is still fresh, some gravels, sand and natural earth is sprinkled on it. Drying is done quicker with hairdryer. Then the whole base is primed with chaos black direct from the can. After drying, the earth is painted with Gunze acrylics: earth brown/beige colors. The variations are done with different shade of pigments, applied wet or dry with a brush. et voilà ! hope it helps! Romain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jean Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 Hi Romain, not every day one sees a St Chamond! I think I saw one build a few centuries ago in the mPm magazine... Great vintage! The whole dio is superb and your figurine painting ability quite impressive! There is nothing wrong feeding steroid to pets, especially in times of armed conflicts, when pet food is scarce!!!
