Hi guys, I haven't uploaded anything since long time.
I present you a model after playing with pigments. I don't know if it looks right. Should I change something? I can say that it is finish in about 90%. I'd like to make some improvments here and there only.


more photos later

Between the Stug, the figures, and the groundwork, this diorama is going to be incredible.

Thanks for opinions. In next step I plan to make wheels especially those above, a little darker and add some mud-splashes on the superstructure.

it was Panzer Aces - Dark Rust for sure, and I think maybe flat earth, but this second color I'm not sure. In most of places I used this first color.

I don't think you've got anything to worry about with your figures

Hi, it's me again. I'm still working on figures and want to show what I have done so far. I think uniforms are ready, maybe some minor corrections. I will focus on skin now - I have now a genral look and will work on details. Don't look on those eyes - this is only base for further works. Any opinions, ideas?
best regards

I don't see any problems at all with this, it's awesome. What's you method for painting the figures? It looks different from most of the other figures I've seen, and it looks great.

I really do look forward to these updates

I'm using a glaze medium to thin my paints. It gives me a transparent colors. Thanks to it I can recieve a delicate borders between colors. I hope this is what you wanted to know, if not - ask

The eyes are a little much. I use a slightly lighter shade of paint for eyes than I do for skin. This will keep the figures from looking like they are posessed. Excellent work on them otherwise!

Matt, I have wrote that they are not entirely ready
below you can see 99% finished, I am aware that I could do some things better, but I don't want to yet - next figures will be better.
















hope you like this

Hard to believe these are in 1/35. The details on the face & mouth is just amazing

The eyes look excellent! I rarely paint the pupils/iris. Just don't have steady enough hands with all the medications I take.

I'm working on dio now. I've added some plants, you can see that, but it not painted at all by now.

I have also changed this reed in right corner, I think now it looks much better.

tommorow I will paint this.

i like the dirt espacelly around the wheels .

Wapel

the paint job on the armored car is spectacular. Still not mastered this technique to make these wear. How do you do this. I'm starting to build a Puma and would like to apply this technique to it. I will keep following your work. Congratulations!

hello, I have some new photos for you. It's going very slowly - to be honest I prefer doing my models in wintertime when it is cold outside and it's getting dark very quickly. Then I sit at home at paint Beside it now we have Euro 2012 so there it is a lot to see.
