    Lovely work! Plenty of great details to add interest to the scene and you’re a braver man than I if you really did pinch a bit of laminate from under the sofa!

    thanks! First stab at 1/48, decided to convert from 1/35 after realising how much space I’d need to make dioramas for them all! Only thing is the lack of good 1/48 figures.

    Great work, the 3D printed parts look really nice. Like how you’ve put plenty of footprints round them too. What did you use for snow btw?

    Thanks Homer! Looking forward to the next build already- T-34 helping to secure a foothold over the Dnieper

    Thanks, I tried my best to hold back but always hard with tanks! Especially a snowy, muddy one!

    Damn you’ve just reminded me that I’ve missed that, I’d painted a bit of wire for it already-need to go and find it now! Well spotted

    ha no worries, borrow away, just like I did! No original ideas here! Glad it served up some inspiration for you

    Get some of the builders insulation foam, its fine grained so can be cut easily. I've just finished a base were i pressed air drying clay over the foam to form the textured groundwork but for 1/16 you'll need alot of clay so maybe you'd be better using something like claycrete (basically paper mache). Plenty of good tutorials on youtube to check out. I like to mix dried soil from the garden with paint and pva as a final layer to add loads of texture to the goundwork.

    Here's my finished scene depicting a Soviet counter attack around Mozhaisk in October after the first snows have fallen and so called General Winter comes to the aid Russian defenders, helped by the 1/48 KV-IE of course! I really enjoyed building this and plenty of new things tried. The shed and the fence was made from good old coffee stirrers, with the thatch being made from toy fur brushed through with pva. Ground work was done with airdrying clay which was then textured with dried soil mixed with pva. First time making a tree and again pretty pleased with, well plea

    Really nice! Really like the shells laid out on the tarp and all the other details you’ve added, and well done cobbling together an interior from other kits- I’m no expert but looks spot on!

    Thanks Andrew! The muds just soil and pva mixed with a little of the paint i used for the base groundwork. I think i probably could have kept the centre of the tracks and wheels a bit cleaner where the movement/contact would self clean slightly but hey ho!

    Lovely work on the caunter scheme. Looks like a really nice finish all round

    Thanks all. I'll put the finished scene in the diorama section when done- still waiting for the paints for the figures which are being held up somewhere Thanks for the language correction Pin, its an odd one as there are plenty of references to Ehkranami so I guess its a case of everyone copying a mistake?! I'll change the heading to KV-1E to ease those sore Russian eyes .

    Great finish on the paintwork, think the headlight looks good too, was that just oob or did you do some extra work on it?
  15. GRK
    thanks Ernst, yes was pleased with the chipping. Doing the lighter colour first makes a nice effect. Just waiting for some paints to arrive for the figures and then let battle commence!

    Hi all Just a few pics from my latest build- the 1/48 HobbyBoss KV-1E I love the look of the KV-1 but like it even more with the bolted on armour, a real beast! A simple build with some nice details and a few bits of PE and even a metal wire tow cable and for about half the price of the Tamiya kit, so what's not to like? OoB apart from the tarp and painted with MRP 4BO and pretty much a straight copy of the techniques shown by Nightshift's build on youtube, I make no apologies! This is the first 1/48th armour I've built and this is the way I'm going- my fi

    Fantastic result, I think you've done a particularly good job on the dust streaking, very believable!
  18. GRK
    Looks great and I had no idea that this beast was even a thing- not saying much though! Agree that the stowage work is excellent

    Very nice! Great work on the dusty weathering. How was the kit? quite tempted to pick one up myself. thanks for the link to your weathering process too, very detailed and informative !
  20. GRK
    Looks great. The wing roundels look superb, assume you used a mask and painted rather than decals?
  21. GRK
    Wow thanks all, i'll have to be careful now not to get carried away and only do winter washed models in the future! It does need another Soviet fighter to sit next to in the cabinet but can't decide to got with an I-16 or a IL-2 (if the IL-2 will fit!)
  22. GRK
    Excellent result and very envious of your ability to rivet! Which tool do you use?
  23. GRK
    Hi, these were just where I passed the brush through during the hairspray chipping. Just careful to keep the brush strokes in line with the airflow. I then added the vertical rain lines with the weathering pencils and a really soft brush. good luck with it, found it really fun to do

    Thanks fubar. I read this at the time but only when you’ve put it here did I spot the “for beauty “ bit, makes more sense now!
  25. GRK
    Absolutely- maybe the pilot graduated from I-16s and missed the gentle breeze!
