    Hello lads. Today I have a little video of BA-64 that I have finished a while ago. Model is in 1/35th scale. It is a little car, quite easy and enjoable to build, so I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a quick build. Hope you'll enjoy the movie. And few pictures:

    Thank you Silenoz. I also think that it is a bit too long. I am trying to squeeze ep. 2 to less than 20. Thanks for the advice on the content as well. I will have that in mind

    Hi there folks. New project on my bench. I decided to present it via video and this is the first episode. In this little movie I did all the wheels and chassis assemble. I also built, painted and weathered an engine. It looks like it is going to be a lovely little vehicle. Part 2 is on the way. Enjoy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BD9fNZ7a7M8&t=16s

    Hello folks. Long time since my last visit, but I wanna get back. This time I have a finished model, but it will not be a gallery, but a little movie. Something new I want to try. Hope you guys will like it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tpI5_lVLVUk

    Hiya. Some weathering done. A I've mentioned in the begining, I'll try and change the ways of my weathering. I want to break the process to the smaller sections and do the weathering of particular section in one seating. All the filters, washes, streaks etc. This should help me pay attention to details and focus on smaller things which make the difference. We'll see what happens. First, it was driver's door. That's AK's filter and wash. After that i just used oil paints. Some brown colours mixed with white or black, then some white streaks and speckles. I did the same with side engine cover. To make it moore sooty I used more Black. Then, the upper cover. Lors of white speckles here. Then I moved to the back. Done the wash, because I have different plans for it. Also started painting the wood. That's Old Wood from AK with something like ten thousand different oil washes Then I moved to passenger's door. I wanted it to be different so I dedided to make the white dominate in this area. After that I did the front... ...and the fenders. Don't forget about the roof... Lotsa speckles here... The back... ugh... I wanted to paint it enamel black on a hairspray coat... That didn't go well at all... Lucky that it won't be visible too much. Put it together... Looks good. That is it for now. The cabin is pretty much done. It's just few finishing touches. Now the focus will go to back and furniture. Stay tuned. Thanks. Dawid.

    Hiya Looks like paint job is done. First, a layer of red primer paint. That was followed by rather handsome portion of hairspray. Afther that, I put Panzer Gray which was chipped. A lot. I want to have lots of layers. Next layer was a Dark Yellow. Of, course, I put hairspray before that. Next: some more chipping. Looks good for me. The final layer: white. I want to make impression, that truck was painted white after the war. Due to lots of use it nearly wore off. That's how it looks now. Hope you like it... Thanks for watching. Dawid

    Yes. AK's fuel stains and Mig's Fresg Engine Oil. They were speckled on or put directly on the pigments, so there;s that sooty texture,

    Ok, looks like I have some final shape of the project. Look for yourself. The cabin is closed and windows were masked with a tape. The fitting is not bab, but it's not Tamiya, so I recommend staying focused. Also I glued the balsa floor. Finally, the load. That's some furniture. They come from MiniArt's Furniture Set Still need some side fencing. I'm gonna put the truck on this cobblestone street. Finally have the final shape. And the primer's on. I really like that. Hope that you do too. Time for paint. Thanks for watching.

    Back with some more progress... I decided to weather the parts surrounding the engine. Why I did that? Someone might ask. The answer is simple. Training purposes. If I screw up something, I'd rather have it here, where it will not be visible than on some other, more 'open' project. So - it's just training. Never ignore an oportunity to train. I also continued work on interior with some pigments and drybrushing. I like the effect, I'll try some more of that in future. And that's the engine. Painted and weathered. Tested fiting. It's not bad. Everything goes well up to this point. As I've mentioned in the 'introduction', wood will be main poin of focus. That's balsa wood cut to replicate the floor on a back of the truck. And that's the back of the truck itself with some filler filling the gaps. Put some primer underneath. That's it for now. The work will intensify now, so stay tuned... Thanks for watching. Dawid

    Thanks boys. It was my first plane built after 15 years. I like it. We'll see how will other planes go

    Hi folks. Here's a little progress on a subject: The engine consists of 21 parts I think. Real pain in butt. Especially when it is not going to be visible. I got tempted to maybe open it, so it will be seeable. Still thinking about it. It really takes some patience to build it, so if you wanna build the truck closed, you may skip most of the build, leaving just main parts visible from underneath. And that's where it will seat. And some more details. The frame. Well, most of it. So far, the build is pretty much flawless. Tested the fitting. And putting the primer on. Tamiya's primer. Also, some more scratches inside of the truck... I want to make an impression of an old truck. That is it for now. Soon more progress... Thanks for watching. Dawid

    Hi all. With my Grizzly finished I decided to move to next project. This time I wanted to change something in my way of building models. Up to this point my modelling was pretty straight forward. Bulding, painting, filters, washes, oils, chippings, streakings, pigments. In the end I had a nice looking model, but it is not what I desire. I wanna do a little bit of storytelling with my work. I wanna build a vehicle (scaled) that has been somewhere. I also want to be more aware of what I'm doing and how that affects the whole project. That said, I wanna break down my weathering to smaller sections rather than do it on a whole model. That way I'll see the difference and possibly understand the WHY of using some method. Also, with every new model I want to try something new or do something old differently. The main topic of this project will be: WOOD. Painting and weathering wooden structures. To do this, I chose ICM's Opel Blitz type 2,5-32. Here's some pictures. The boxart. First of all, I'm not gonna use shelter as my Opel will be a little bit post-war. That's what's inside the box. Not too many parts and rubber tyres. There will be some additions. Let's get to work. The plastic is rather soft, so work goes nicely. There are a lot of small or thin parts though, so pay extra attention to cutting it. Chassis is quite detailed. I also started with interior. I broke down building stage to four stages and I do the separatly: engine, chassis, shelter's floor and cabin. Engine is quite hard to build as it consists of 21 parts. Interior is the first thing that's gonna see paint. First: the primer. Door with details. Pretty neat. Floor. Interior is quite simple. The seat needed to be roughened up a bit in my opinion, so I did some folded tarps. That's paper towels soaked in PVA glue and water mixture. First layer of paint: steel. After that I put some chipping fluid on which was followed by some dark grey colour. Next stage was chipping with a brush dipped in water. The same happened with the door. OK, that will be it for now. Thanks for watching. Dawid

    On behalf of polish people: Thank You Great work on Rosomak, weathering very subtle but powerful. Top notch,
  16. dawkuk
    Lovely looking model. Have one of these in my stash. It was planned for "an unpredictable" future, but seein' yours made me wanna push it forward...
  17. dawkuk
    Thanks again guys. Nice to see that my skills evolving... next project will be more demanding, tho.
  18. dawkuk
    Thank you lads. I appreciate the comments, really do.

    Hiya. Here's my latest project. After few WWII vehicles. I wanted to go for something modern. Few years back I was in Berlin and found a hobby shop. I bought Trumpeter's Grizzly for a bargain price as box was a little damaged. This is an outcome of this. Trumpeter's Canadian AVGP Grizzly. I read few reviews indicating that model is full of mistakes. Maybe it is, but it's fun to build and - in my case - for painting colour modulation training. See for yourself. That's it. As I said, it was great fun to build. Hope you like this. Thanks for watching. Dawid

    Hiya. Last post before moving to RFI!!! Got some pigments on... I started with lighter earth tones, but this will be gradually build into darker matter. Wheels done. Next step was the glasses in turret, which I've painted dark blue. Windshield has also been put in place. As well as headlights. Ok. There's few little things to be done, but I'll show them in RFI. Thanks for staying in tune. Dawid

    Hiya folks. Some more sights on the subject: Did some streakings and oil fading. I used different products for streaks. Different tones form whole variety of AK's Streaking pallette. I thought i maybe overdid it, but there are few more stages until Grizzly will be complete. I am happy with the result. Some more on a turret. Also, painted the wheels. And did some exhaust fumes. It's a black paint mixed with AK's Rubber Tyre paint. Some highlighting on tyres. Next thing was this. I wanted to do some kinda fading and peeling of paint and some soot streaks. I painted the model with Scratching Effect fluid. Then I put a light coat of ENAMEL (!!!) Humbrol's dark grey paint. Straight after that I took soft brush, dipped it in water and moved it down the freshly painted surface. Effect is different than acrylic paint (which would be a simple chipping technique) and very interesting. Check for yourself. Getting close to an end. Thanks for watching. Dawid. Next episode: last works before RFI section.

    Hiya. As promised, decals and washes. First, of course, a thin later of Gloss Varnish. I ripped the big SFOR decal, and I've replaced it with small one. Doesn't look great... The plate is not a decal. It's a piece of paper from paint sheet included in box. Nice thing. A bit thicker than a decal, so it looks like a piece of metal. Luckily, second SFOR sign survived. Decals done. Time for washes. I really like colour modulation and wash together. Grizzly's surely getting this sharp look. All the details and panels are very 3D-like. Some say colour modulation is just a trick to fool an eye. It is, but it serves great purpose. It surely makes model more "alive" and that's the whole point. So I'm gonna use it on my models OK. That is it for today. More pictures real soon. Thanks for watching. Dawid
  23. dawkuk
    Thanks lads. Here's some progress. The Paint is on. That's Pactra's Medium Green. I covered whole surface without any preshadings. I'll use the Modulation technique instead. And that's it. I went a little heave, but I think it'll be worth. The colours I used for modulation were: the same Medium Green and different amounts of White or Black paint. As you can see, I highlighted most panels and top surfaces, while the lower parts were painted darker tones. I'm really happy with overall results. Thanks for watching. Next episode: decals, washes.

    As promised, here's a portion of pics. Head lights and wire cutter mounted... The rear wall was also eguipped with all the details. Getting ready for paints... Last overview before the primer... And here's the primer... As I've mentioned earlier, I really like the elegant shape of the Grizzly. OK, lads, time to bring out DA PAINT Thanks for watching. Dawid

    Hi. Long time no see on this one, but here's some progress. Some more upgrades in the bottom part. Also mounted the rear door. And some boxes... Next step was the little turret. A so-far-overview of the Grizzly. I really like its shape. Very ellegant And the time has come to close the hull. Easy, as there's no interior. The hatches. The one on the turret. That's how it looks. Fuel canister. There's also a little commercial of my modeller's blog. Check it out if you want, thanks. That is it for now. There will be more on the subject soon, as I'm nearly finished with the project. It just needs some photos, so stay tuned, if you're interested. Thanks, Dawid
