(For build log of this project click here) In spite of the fact, that it took me almost 4 months to finish, JSU was one of my “faster” projects. This was partly due […]
JSU-122S – Part 20: Finale
During mid-October I was rushing to get this piece finished, so that I could take it to the Ajax model show, which was held last weekend. I will try to give a […]
JSU-122S – Part 19: Base – preshading
After having placed all the pieces on the base and letting it dry for a few days, I have applied the preshading. This was done by airbrushing very dark mix of black and khaki […]
JSU-122S – Part 18: Base – Surface structure and details
After many evenings of meditating about the composition and look of the base, I have finally decided to go for it. My vision of what I want to achieve wasn’t 100% there, […]
JSU-122S – Part 17: Here comes the base!
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 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 […]
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 […]
