BPMT "Terminator"
12-Jun-11A cool model by Cromwell models which I had to get the minute I saw.
It was built quickly and painted in Tamiya's acrylics. the figures are Armory's and the building was scratchbuilt.
Akuyaku #1
10-Jan-11The model is produced by Tasca and was designed by Japanese animator Hayau Miyazaki.
It was painted in acrylics and finished with oils mostly. The crew was painted in acrylics as well.
MaK Nutrocker
10-Jan-11The model represents a hover tank from the world Mahienen Krieger. I added som details to it like the rocket launchers at the back and side cannon. The figure was taken from Elhiem figures modern/futuristic range.
Leclerc
09-Jan-11The model is Revell's and the scene is modelled after a real photo taken of the French UN expeditionary force in Lebanon.
The model was painted in Tamiya's acrylics, and weathered with some oils. I tried to keep the weathering to minimum even though the real life picture shows the tank to be almost totally clean without the slightest weathering.
King Tiger production turret
09-Jan-11A model by Dragon, which was a lot of fun to build. the figure was taken from AB figrues range which I highly recommend.
The model was painted in octopuse scheme according to some pictures and model pictures I found.
King Tiger Porsche Turret
09-Jan-11I built Dragon's king tiger porsche with the molded on zimmerit almost OOB. The main additions were the scrachbuilt tools which for some reason were not included on the model.
Faun Elefant & Leopard 2A4
09-Jan-11The Elefant model is Revell's with both Eduard's excellent PE sets and some added details from scratch. It was a challenging build, and I think I should have done better job on the camo which turned a bit dull in my opinion.
The tank is Dragon's which is a fantastic model build OOb in two hours. The camo net was done from gauze and dried tea leaves according to some Verlinden manual published years ago.
the figures were scractched with magic sculpt, as at the time I couldn't find any modern German figures I could use.
Cromwell Mk.IV
09-Jan-11Revell's model which was a joy to build. The camo net was done from layers of gauze and small strips cut from Tamiya's masking tape.
the figrues are all AB figures, and the model was built OOB apart from the net and the side hatch which I cut.
Russian Cuirassiers
09-Jan-11The figures are from Zvezda's lovely set. In my humble opinion Zvezda's figures are the best soft plastic figures available, and their range is expanded regularly.
I first coated them with polyurethane lacquer as a basis to painting, as soft plastic do not take paint to well.
They were painted in acrylics, and I added some flags from Rofur flags range which are also very nice.
Panzer IV Ausf.G
09-Jan-11The model is from Dragon and I tried to paint it in color modulation style. My first time I'm doing this technique and I need to understand it better I think.
The wall is from MIG's excellent range, as well as the standing figure. lot of fun building this one.
Rhinmetall Borsig VTOL refuelling
09-Jan-11The scene represnts a luft 46 subject, which only existed as a paper plan. The model is resin and was casted by fantastic plastic. The tanker is Academy's and was fun to build. The rest of the items were scratchbuilt from plasticard, and the figures were taken from Preiser Luftwaffe range.
Mack Bulldog & FT-17
09-Jan-11Both models are from RPM, with the wheels and tracks of the FT17 replaced by Modeltrans items.
I really like RPM's range, they have interesting and unique models, even though I had to struggle with their molding style it was a fun project to do.
figures were taken from WD^2 figures, awesome company specializing in 1:72 WWI which is always nice. The building is modified workshop from TM models which I bought from Jadar Poland, the only place I think has them.
M26 Dragon Wagon & M4A1 76mm Sherman
09-Jan-11One of my favorite vehicle, the Dragon Wagon was done by Academy and was very fun to build. I detailed it with Eduard PE sets, and scratchbuilt some parts on my own. The tank is Dragon's, a wonderful model which I added some AB figures equipment to.
Figures are CMK truck set, and the walls are from gamecraft miniatures excellent range.
both vehicles were painted with Lifecolor acrylics, which was my first try and I hope not the last.
