The past few weeks of my modelling work has been rather frustrating. I was working on the Panther, but after two attempts at the camo painting, none of which I liked, I […]
AMX 30B2 – Part 9: Finish
I was quite over the past weeks and the reason was quite simple – I was asked to finish AMX on a short notice, so I have spent the past few […]
