As I have progressed quite a bit in the painting and weathering of the model, I have decided to start putting together a base for this model. I have actually spend quite […]
JSU-122S – Part 17: Here comes the base!
M1A1 AIM Abrams – Part 2: Details, details, details
I don’t know how about you, but I really don’t like the finishing construction phases when building a model. For me this is the time, when zillion tiny details have to be […]
BT-7 – Part 2: Some more weathering
Having been playing with the weathering of the JSU, I decided to touch up the BT-7 that was sitting on my desk for a while. The kit has essentially become a test […]
M1A1 AIM Abrams – Part 1
Over the past few days I have put the JSU aside a bit and spent some time meditating about the base I would like to build for it. Nevertheless, I haven’t been sitting idly. I […]
JSU-122S – Part 16: Weathering
I have been making slow progress on the JSU, somehow September is not one of my most productive months in terms of modeling results… First of all, I looked at the model […]
JSU-122S – Part 15: Tracks are mounted
Another milestone (or at least what I consider to be a milestone when building a model) today – I have mounted tracks on the vehicle. This time even without making any damage to […]
JSU-122S – Part 14: Tracks – weathering
After having “painted” the tracks, (see post nr. 12) they of course needed some weathering before they were to be mounted on the model. This involved few steps: I have laid the tracks with […]
JSU-122S – Part 13: Streaking and dusting
I have continued the weathering phase of the build with adding streaks on the walls of the superstructure and dust effects to the horizontal surfaces. Streaking effects were added using two techniques. […]
JSU-122S – Part 12: Tracks
Yesterday I have decided to make some progress on the tracks, which were sitting in my desk assembled and ready for painting for already some time (not sure if I did mention that […]
JSU-122S – Part 11: Chipping
JSU saga continues. Over the past days I have added chipping using my usual method of localized drybrushing of mix of Black and Burnt umber from the Winsor & Newton line. I […]
Type 2 Ka-Mi – Part 10: Weathering and pigments
Over the past days I was also working on the Ka-Mi in parallel with the JSU, mostly adding weathering and balancing the contrast. First I have airbrushed a very thin Flat Earth […]
JSU-122S – Part 10: Finishing decals, wash, drybrushing
After I have applied decals two days ago, I added few steps to the model: 1. Gloss coat over the decals – this is to protect the decal from the subsequent painting […]
