I am now in the final phases of this build – weathering. This usually means that things go extremely slowly, mostly because I use oil paints for lot of my weathering techniques […]
Type 2 Ka-Mi – Part 7: Chipping
Type 2 Ka-Mi – Part 6: Barrels, exhausts & decals
I have added few touches to KaMi some day before my last week’s trip, mostly dealing l with the details. First I painted the barrels of the two machine guns. For this […]
Type 2 Ka-Mi – Part 5: Dry-brushing, filters, washes & tracks
I have spent last few evenings adding few touches to the Ka-Mi. To tone down the contrast created by preshading and highlighting I applied oil filter. I used my trusty Winsor & Newton […]
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 […]

Another Merkava IIID
Another surprise that I just accidentally stumbled upon when browsing armorama site – another Merkava IIID is in the oven, this time from Hobby Boss. Few pictures are available at this time. What […]
Merkava II
…and speaking of Merkavas, I have actually built one years ago. It is an old Academy Merkava II kit. I can truly say that this is one of my “antique” kits. I have […]
Panzer IV Afrika Korps
This is one of my really early models. I can’t even remember exactly when I have built it, but it must be at least 5 years. Given my level of experience at that time, the result […]
Ever got inspired by a computer game?
I used to play computer games quite a bit before I started to build models. These days the number of hours I spend playing is much smaller, but occasionally I still get tempted. Since […]
