Before I actually talk about the streaking and pigments, I have to mention one step I did and forgot to mention last time – highlights. As you may have noticed, the bolts […]
Char 2C – Part 5: Streaking and Pigments
Char 2C – Part 4: Wash
October of every year is for me the time, when I am trying to finish as much models as I can for the Ajax model show. And this year is no exception. […]
T62 – Part 7: Tracks are done
I took bit of a break from other projects that I have on the run and decided to bring the T-62 to the finish. This meant to complete the tracks, which was […]
RG-31 – Weathering

RG-31- Base concept
I was asked to add a base to the RG-31, so this is what I am trying to do…let’s see how it will go. Too many things to add know, plus the […]
BRDM-2: Painting & chipping

RG-31 – Base coat
Painting phase continues… I was quite glad to finish the base coat and highlights as I could remove the masking and see the model with its interior. Must say that it starts […]
RG-31 – Preshading
Here comes the painting phase, this time skipping primer and going for some preshading straight away. Now that masking was an interesting exercise… See previous part See next part […]
RG-31 – Construction finished
I think the 80-20 Pareto principle applies to modelling as well – sometimes I feel that the 20% of details take 80% of time to get done, especially as the projects progresses… […]
RG-31 – Interior
As much as I am usually not thrilled by adding interior to the models, this one ended up looking quite OK, though it wasn’t really easy sailing. Well, at least I can […]
