Let's get started with the next project. There will be a small vigniette with JSU-152 and some figures. But there is problem with my kit from Italeri. It hasn't got all chassis parts. I have used some of them working with another model. Fortunately, I have found an interesting pic on the Internet. This photo inspired me to build simmilar scene, so the problem was solved quickly. However, the challenge will be making water effects realistic...


The stuff:


Coming soon...

Great idea, and nice save on a partial kit.
WATER. Tricky stuff to do. It can be as simple as crinkled up aluminum foil(painted/gloss), to clear acrylic caulking,
to 2 part resin pour. Good luck. Bill.

budem pozorne sledovat na tvojom blogu Mateusz :-D Výborný nápad

Red U-Boat is coming....

The ISU needs few corrections. I made welded seams in places like the plate junction. The Wamod glue was quite helpful in this case. What is more, I made new handrails using the copper wire. Also, the lamp was improved by drilling.




Tank crew and infantrymen on the JSU-152. I used the Preiser and Mig Productions sets.

Hi Mateusz,


Looking good until now.


P.A.

Small progress.

The colours...

I didn't have much time to take photos during the progress of painting my model. So the ISU is almost finished.
Now I'm working with water effects using acrylic resin from Mig Productions. We will see the results of my test.





The crew is coming...

Mateusz, I also find these watery subjects inspiring, it's nice to see these heavy vehicles interacting with the environment like this. Your model is looking good, and I am full of admiration for the number of figures you are intending to accompany it with!

Matthew, thank you for the comment

Wow, that is one of the best water dioramas I have ever had the pleasure of seeing! Fantastic work

Hi Mateusz, the water effect and the paint fading on the tank totally KICK *SS.

Nicely done buddy.

P.A.

It's very motivating what You said.

So that's the end of building the soviet monster. You can see the result of my test with "Water Effects" resin from Vallejo. I hope You like it. Looking forward to next project...

Bravo. Very well done. Your dip captures the spirit of the photo.

Mateusz,

I thoroughly enjoy your piece. You creatively dealt with the problem of missing parts, and ended up with a great little vignette. Your painting, weathering, and water effects all look top notch.

Thanks for sharing your work with us.

Cheers!

John
