Alessandro_Jug Posted February 16, 2021 Author Share Posted February 16, 2021 Hi all and thank you for the replies, here are some more figures I painted recently, I also tried with questionable success the Crossdelta decal set on the tankers trousers, he still needs some highlights and shading process. C&C welcome! Cheers Alessandro 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
echen Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 If I hadn't seen the box with 1/35 on it I'd have had these down as 1/16 at least. Fabulous figure painting! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pig of the Week Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 What a great character you've given the Italian, you can just imagine him as a rather sardonic sort of chap ! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alessandro_Jug Posted March 18, 2021 Author Share Posted March 18, 2021 Hi all and thank you for the replies, so here is the road block, I made a plasticard mould and then poured in some ceramic, unfortunately some air bubbles came out so I need to fill them....

Alessandro_Jug Posted June 29, 2021 Author Share Posted June 29, 2021 Hi all, after a long time, I put in this update: roof tiles time! I found a small firm who replicates 3D printed italian tiles, its name is Scientific Models. Well the tiles are very well detailed indeed and thin, there are several types because in reality each tile was hand made and not two were the same, the pictures speaks for themselves, I love them! They just need some sanding and painting. I used Tamiya acrylics and abt 502 oils. When I will end the roof, I will blend the colors with some washing or fading or filtering or.... I don't know.... 😁 Cheers! Alessandro 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They look fantastic Alessandro, very realistic. I know because I have very similar on the roof of my house here in S.France. And you're right about them being hand made. I was told that many years ago, the tile were made by forming a piece of clay over the thigh of the worker, and then leaving it to dry in the sun. That's why they are all different (and why they don't fit very well sometimes!!) John. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alessandro_Jug Posted July 4, 2021 Author Share Posted July 4, 2021 Hi John, thank you, so i ended the roof and painted the concrete barrage, now all I need is to replicate the small circular reflectors on the writing, I think I will use some punch and die set on a painted paper.... Cheers Alessandro 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alessandro_Jug Posted July 12, 2021 Author Share Posted July 12, 2021 Hi all so, I started the painting of the building and made the reflectors on the concrete barrage, now I just need to complete some details on the building and then the weathering, the road and it's over.

Alessandro_Jug Posted July 14, 2021 Author Share Posted July 14, 2021 Hi all and thank you for the replies, I started the weathering of the building, for the writing I used some hand made stencils and my airbrush. I think it needs just some light drybrush and it's over. Cheers! Alessandro 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alessandro_Jug Posted August 3, 2021 Author Share Posted August 3, 2021 Hi all and thank you for the kind comments, so here is the diorama at 80%. I added the tree with twisted wire, then covered with Tamiya putty, some grass on the ground, made with fine sand and some pigments. Now I will complete the weathering of the tank and set all togheter.... Cheers Alessandro 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bullbasket Posted August 3, 2021 Share Posted August 3, 2021 That looks good Alessandro, and very convincing. Nice work. John. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alessandro_Jug Posted August 6, 2021 Author Share Posted August 6, 2021 Hi all and thank you for the replies, So here is the tank weathered, I simply toned down the sand yellow with oils. I also added the towing cables, front headlights and rear blue notek. Next step is to fix it on the base! Cheers Alessandro 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
