THEscaleSHOW Posted May 11, 2021 Author Share Posted May 11, 2021 Hello all 🥳 The GB is approaching the final and I think to show the last pictures before the finished model today 😅 The IG is finished with accessories, the first November snow has fallen on the vignette 🥶 and there are only details left to paint on the figure. Have fun! MD a few more pictures of the weathering of the tracks Rust dust blending w. brush metal shine It's now the monster mash 😁 it seems to snow in the next few days... 🧐 various tests with Tamiya and Deluxe M. did not please me at all - everything just looked like whipped cream 🙈 My choice for realistic snow: glass bead dust! before: and after... the glass dust glitters like snow.... what do you think? less is more And since we've no place to go, let it snow, let it show, let it snow ❄️ 🎶 do not forget your scarf!

Retired Bob Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 That is first class mate, I have some AK snow sprinkles to try, bet it doesn't look as good as your "snow". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hello Bob THX a lot 👍 I think you can also achieve good effects with AK. My tip: test different thick snow mixtures on a piece of plastic card. If you dilute with PVA, note the shrinkage of the glue (and the water) after drying. I added a little tamiya white and flow improver from vallejo to my mix in the first coat and the last coat without color for a slightly translucent effect. Have fun and good results!

Kind regards, Stix Hello Stix Thanks so much for the comment, I really appreciate it 😊👍 It means a lot to me when other modelers like my style-that's the reward for all the work. I like to share my experiences and here at BM you always learn new tricks from other posts. Let's see - on the weekend I will hopefully be able to present my finished scene 😅 So long!

THEscaleSHOW Posted May 29, 2021 Author Share Posted May 29, 2021 Hello together 🥳 I say only one word: DONE! On the last day of the fantastic GB I would now like to present you my model of the IG SIG 33B on Panzer III on a Stalingrad vignette. It was a very long way to get here and I must admit that I had imagined some of the work to be easier. But as it is often the case, the project grows more and more during construction until you are satisfied at the end. Without the GB, this kit would probably have remained on my shelf for years and I would not have realised how much fun even a simple model can be. Before we start, thanks again to everyone and especially to Stix for the realisation of the GB 👍 I hope you like my model, I for one am very happy with it. If I don't upload the pictures to the GB gallery anymore, you will find them at RFI in the next days. Have a nice weekend and see you soon! MD PS: the colours of the scarf are a tribute to the best football club in the Ruhrgebiet 😎 some details pics from the figure (Panzerart in oils and arcylics w. Hornet head) the model in front of the famous grain silo 😏 See you! 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozzy Posted May 30, 2021 Share Posted May 30, 2021 Looks absolutely fantastic MD, I thought the last picture was your reference until I took a closer look. Thanks for stopping by and taking part in the GB and glad your stash has been reduced by one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PlaStix Posted May 30, 2021 Share Posted May 30, 2021 Hi MD. Well, what can I say!! It looks absolutely magnificent!! Your build, your attention to the details, your finishing and weathering are all some of the best I have seen. Your presentation scene is also really amazing. It would be great if you can upload five images into the Gallery - if you get chance - before 23.59 BST. Thank you you very much for building this fantastic model in this STGB. Kind regards, Stix 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THEscaleSHOW Posted May 30, 2021 Author Share Posted May 30, 2021 Hey Ozzy and Stix Thanks for your nice comments 😊 I'll quickly upload 5 more images to the gallery and look forward to a new GB-maybe on the big topic of Vietnam or WW1? Have a nice evening! MD 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Foxbat Posted May 31, 2021 Share Posted May 31, 2021 I've been following this build all the way without comment because every time I was going to say how great it was you made it even better. The finished vignette is stunning, so many perfect little details and everything just so 😊 Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
