Type 2 Ka-Mi – Part 5: Dry-brushing, filters, washes & tracks
Type 2 Ka-Mi – Part 4: Second highlights
The last paint layer that I plan to apply is the second highlight, to increase the contrast and give the model little bit more “depth”. For this layer I needed another shade […]

Dorchester – Build continues
I have been also looking at the Dorchester sitting on my desk over the past days. One thing that I have decided is that I will not paint it in the camouflage […]
Voroshilovets Artillery tractor – Part 7
Just a few more shots. Tonight I added chipping to the other parts of the vehicle – metal parts of the cargo bed walls and rear of the vehicle. I think this […]
Voroshilovets Artillery tractor – Part 6
