T-34

(work in progress)

Made in two days so far, during the May holidays

Still need to put light and fenders in the back. And of course still have to make whole diorama with snow but that's work for some other time...

I wanted to leave front hatch open but since I didn't have driver figure and it would make turret impossible to rotate freely, I have decided to make it just slightly open and according to picture above, I tried to make locks from tooth picks and painted them red:   

(It looks vampirish xD )

That's all for now!

KATYUSHA from the "collection of military vehicles"

There's  magazine which comes out twice a month with military vehicle models. They are fair at best so they are ideal for "playing" with them. They are cheap and you can experiment with them and final result is way better then the original.
This one was awful with almost transparent white plastic and ramp couldn't move so I fixed it a bit ^^

My girlfriend told me to paint the lights yellow.It looks cool actually! :)

Mud!!!!Mooore mud!!!

It can extend the ramp now :)

And this is how the original looked like.

Panzer II ausf. F  by  Revell

Finally finished!

Finishing touches: wash for dusting/mudding

I've seen picture on internet - PzKpfw II tank - and I liked the color so I decided to paint my model that way. It's a bit blue-ish. I like it that way. And I had so much fun painting it!

Finished:

There is still some job to be done with terrain, finishing touches so to say, to bring up the depth of track marks a bit.

Next project: T-34! :) SNOOOW VERSION! :D

High elf prince on gryphonn - Work in progress

 Cloack of Staaaaars!

Preliminary look of wings

A lot of washing and highlighting and washing...


I know I wasn't active this past year, at least not here on this blog but that doesn't mean I wasn't doing things "behind curtains". I was working on this model and yes it is still work in progress. There will be more pictures soon. Also I was doing Panzer II diorama from Revell, so I wil post pictures asap!

Oh and, "Time spent doing what you enjoy is not time lost at all!", hopefully ;)

Painting session in our club VALHALA

It was really nice and relaxed evening,we were talking and painting and joking...I really enjoyed it :)

I was taking these pictures so I'm not on them,but I was painting this guy here:

Just to make up my mind what to paint on banner,put some rocks and static grass for basing and he is done!

Also,I intend to paint my next models much faster than the ones I have finished so far which means- less detail,more drybrushing!

And finally here is the bolt thrower:

I am very content how it all came out and I really enjoyed painting it.Actually,bolt thrower is the first thing that I assembled and started painting for my army.I wanted to give it darker,wooden look and I think that I managed to do that very well :)
Rope is made from the mark on the trousers,it is synthetic so it was easy to paint it and I think that it looks pretty cool.I can't wait to place it on the battlefield!

As for the crew,I am content with them too.
Guy who is loading bolts has Asterix's sword on his back-from Kinder Surprise,and it has some nice golden work on it's hilt.
I like how they look.
One interesting thing is maybe the basing-rocks are made from oats-I crushed them a bit and then glued to the base.Some drybrushing did the job.


And that's it!This is what I have finished.I want to complete my Sea Guard unit first.After that I am thinking of chariot-to take a break from infantry,but we'll see ;)

Meet the champion

I gave him cavalry sword and assembled him to look like he is in the middle of the fight,with raised shield to block attack and his sword ready to strike.
Scale is done using mithril silver and blue ink.

Left sleeve is entirely made from green stuff.
So,that's the champion!:)
