Hello and good morning  🥳

 

A small update from the IG for the weekend.
Today it's about the basic painting of the tracks in acrylic and some basic weathering effects on the casemate with oil paints.

It's cool to see how the different models are created in the GB and how everyone has their own style.

Have fun!
MD

Hello all  🥳

 

First of all I would like to say that I am always very pleased with all the posts and that many people like the IG 😊 👍

 

Ok, today it's about the painting of the exhausts 💨 🙊
In this case, I am not going for a completely rusty look, as these are new vehicles that have not been in service for long.
The weathering is a bit out of scale, because as a viewer from a distance you can't see anything else about it.
Here, too, the final steps as pigments e.g. are painted at the end.

 

Have fun!
MD

the galvanised sheet metal can still be seen-that should be enough 😁

 

See you!

Hello all  🥳

 

After a longer forced break at work, I used the Easter days to continue weathering on the IG 🤗
The chipping is done with acrylic and all other effects with oil paints.
I think that all components of the vignette have to have the same level, so I spent a lot of time on the water pump as well as the tank.

The project is slowly coming to an end, but the work is getting finer and finer and takes time accordingly.
At the moment, I'm still working on accessories that will go on the tank.

 

Have fun!
MD

Hi MD. As the host of this GB I'm afraid it's only fair to the other modellers taking part to say to you that it's not really fair if you go out and take photographs of the real things and then use Photoshop to make it look like your models! :wink:

Seriously MD, very impressive weathering techniques. This is going to be awesome! :thumbsup:

Kind regards,

Stix

Damn!!

With the discovery of Photoshop, Bletchley has revealed the last great German secret after the decryption of the Enigma 🧐

 

Your funny comment  😁 has pleased me very much and shows that the trouble with the water pump has apparently been worthwhile 🤗

It reminds me a bit of my childhood, the like many of us I was a proud owner of a model railroad.

There you see that our hobby is simply the best, if you are still enthusiastic after many years.

Ok, after I have been unmasked today a small contribution on the subject of winter white wash 🕵️‍♂️

 

On my example I would like to show that it must not always be HS or chipping fluid.
The advantage of pigments is that you can remove them again (almost) without great problems - at least better than pure color.
So maybe this way is also for people who are afraid to mess up their precious model.
In contrast to pure chipping, where the flaking of paint is to be imitated, I want to achieve a washed-off effect by rain and snow.
In the first step shown here, I applied pigments in white and earth colors only, plus some edges with pastel pencils (the ones from AK work too , but...  🤑 ).
It is important to put the model aside and let the effect work on you-this avoids unrealistic exaggerations  ☝️😴 🧐
In the next step I'll do a mapping to highlight some white areas and a new pinwash.

 

Have a nice weekend and have fun  🥳
MD

Hello all  🥳

 

After a very loooooong time an new update from the construction of the IG.
Today I would like to present you the 99% finished model (without accessories)-i have tried to show the details better with a neutral background.
My talent for photography is probably not that high, but I hope you like the pictures anyway 🙈

The vignette and figure are also almost finished and I will be able to bring (almost) everything together next weekend.

I still have a little time left 😁 , so have fun!!
MD

Hello all  🥳


Big thanks to Stix, Hewy and Vytautas for the nice comments!!

 

Yes, making the boxy design interesting is a bit of a challenge in my opinion.
After I had decided on this model for the GB, I discovered some IG's on the internet, e.g. from M. Rinaldi.
For me it was now even more important not to build a copy, but to show my own style.


A parcel full of snow and bushes has just arrived 🤗
At the moment I'm finishing the vignette-before it can be winter, all details have to be in place.
I'm using the powder from DM for the first time and hope it all goes well.
For bigger snow piles I had bought Tamiya's Snow Effects.
Besides a few accessories, I have also finished the most important and most difficult part of the figure-the face 🤓

 

This weekend I hope to get some things done, until then have fun!
MD
