Hi all After posting my completed 1/48 Ki-43 (Oscar) https://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/235128016-ki-43-hayabusa/ a few weeks back its now sitting happily on its completed base. I wanted to put a bit more effort into the frame itself and thought of the idea of mimicking the aircraft's camo on some evergreen sheet with leftover decals and a ragged edging with balsa wood. I enjoyed making all the vegetation which is a mix of laser cut paper plants and bits of real leaves, varnished and painted, like on the main palm tree. There's even a butterfly and a big spider in there but I've forgotten to take a picture of these so you'll just have to believe me for now! I thought the cracked earth effect would show the range in climate experienced, i.e lots of heat after the monsoon drying up the mud. The pilot figure came with the Finemolds kits and it actually pretty nice. A few boxes left over from a T-34 and a tarp over a bit of foam completes the airfield clutter. I like to get a bit creative with the photography and set up the finished piece infront of my PC screen with a appropriate full screen image as a backdrop. Low angle is key! Thanks for looking!

I've already completed this, so it won't necessarily be a step-by-step build (I'm hopeless for doing them since I get ahead of myself before trying to take a pic :P), but I put up some WIP shots Thanks for looking Gaz

Ahoy all, Taking a bit of inspiration from Gekko_1's thread on AT-ST and AT-AT camouflage... ...I decided to apply a camouflage to my own AT-ST. Since I love green camo, I wanted to try out a jungle-style pattern and my first real attempt at masking a hard edged camouflage. I ran into a few pitfalls whereby the intended curves ended up being more like angled splinters, and with the colour choices, made it look decidedly Swedish But I touched it up a bit and I'm happy with the outcome, even if some of my Maskol remains because it wouldn't come off at the time, and came off more in the final weathering stages >< Still have to finish up the base with a bit of turf and vegetation and maybe add some mud spatters to the feet. Enjoy Just wish my camera could pick out more of the detailing. Gaz
