Decided I wanted some feedback on this diorama. I know the rubber on the wheels is not painted but I did not have time. I also did not have time to chip. I was mostly experimenting with highlighting and shading with my airbrush. All painting is done with the airbrush apart from the washes.

The model is fully illuminated, apart from too much shadow in the crew area, but most highlights and shadows that you see are airbrushed with lighter shades.

The figures are not mine. I did not have time to paint my own. They were done by my uncle when he was 14 (I'm 16 so around my age) but that was 35 years ago.

i like how you painted those wood boxes. looks really realistic

looks nice, but why short on time, it only takes 10-15 mins to paint the wheels, damnitt i can chip a model in 15 mins if i have to,

looks good so far ...is that the Dragon Kit?

I'm getting surgery on Wednesday, and homework was catching up to me. The surgery is on my right hand and I will be unable to write and unable to paint for two months. So to finish my homework and miniature before my surgery I had to skip a few steps.

Oh I wish! It was an old Tamiya kit, completely OOB. The box was faded from sunlight it was so old.

well good luck with the surgery, hope you have a sppedy recovery!

(ps, you could learn to paint left handed )

U did a great job ..that kits an old warhorse ...not unlike myself ..lol

Lol.

Surgery tomorrow. I'm at the point where I have to start fasting. Not too nervous, just a bit nervous about not being able to do these kits for a few months. Thanks for the replies guys.

Regards,

Kieran.

Nice Marder II Kieran, how'd the surgery go? i bet withdrawl symptoms have already kicked in. lol but you'll be building again in no time and i for one can't wait for your next build. Ant

Hi Kerian,
Hope the surgery went well.
As some some one else has mentioned paint left handed.Its not that difficult I'm left handed and have have no problems painting etc
And remember God made some people perfect the rest he made right handed.
