Interesting idea from Meng today – for their upcoming release of M1A2 they let us vote on the box art of the model. The choice is of three options with essentially only […]
Vote on MENG’s new M1 box art
AFV’s Husky
This is one of the forthcoming releases from AFV club. Perhaps one of the most striking military vehicles you could imagine. Apparently pictures don’t show the finished product, so we will likely […]
Takom Chieftain Mk.5
I really seem to have weakness for the Takom kits. Last time I bought their kit, the Whippet, I brought it home, built it (all in few days) and is now undergoing […]
AMX 30B2 – Part 4: Camo
Now comes the fun part. It has been some time I have painted modern vehicle in camo, so I quite enjoyed this part. It is perhaps one of the riskier stages […]
Takom’s M9 ACE markings
I seem to be mentioning Takom quite too often on my page recently. Well, I believe it is quite deserved. Most of what this company is bringing us really is a fresh […]
AMX 30B2 – Part 3: Base coat
Next step in painting was of course base coat. I decided to go with Buff colour as it seemed good representation of the desert sand. Added also highlights by adding white […]

AMX is another piece I keep on working these days and its coming out quite nice. This shows the model after application of primer and preshading with Tamiya Nato Black, my first […]
AMX boxart
Takom today again showed that they know how to do the boxart. Pictures like this make want to buy all three versions of the kit!
Takom bringing us AMX-13
Great News! Takom once again shows their understanding what’s missing in the market. Their AMX-13 is definitely going to plug the gap… They definitely seem to be releasing new kits faster than […]
Mk A Whippet – Part 4: Decals
After the base paint layer was on the model, decals were the next to go. Before I put them on the model however, I first apply a thin layer of filter […]
Mk A Whippet – Part 3: Base coat and modulation
After preshading all was ready for the main coat. I took the lessons from the previous builds and made sure that (a) the base coat is sufficiently light for subsequent weathering and […]
Mk A Whippet – Part 2: Primer and preshading
So while the weathering was drying on the Merkava and T-64BV, I made some progress on other kits too. One of them is the Whippet, which is really lovely piece and I […]
