Bye Hilbert

Can you see them now?

Thanks Frost! Yes, it's Dragon kit.

I like the boots in the back. Nice touch.

Welcome to Armorama

I wish that I had been making models to your stage when I was 14 (31 years ago - but we won't go into that :-) ). I certainly hadn't thought about weathering and paint chipping etc then. Come to think about it - painting wasn't high on the priority list either.

I like the fact that the tracks appear to be all in contact with the ground - no "floating" bogeys. I also like the coat lying on the ground - did that come from the kit or did you scratchbuild it?

I am still learning this great hobby and try to incorporate new techniques into each new build. So when you build your next model here are a couple of things you could try.

Make your tyres a dark gray rather than black - they look brand new whereas you have put quite a few scratches and mud marks on your vehicle. Also using gravel for your base is a good idea (and cheap) but to improve its look you could give it a couple of washes with "earthy" colours like a dark ochre and umber/burnt umber.

Overall I think this is a very good effort and well worth putting on display. You should be proud of it.

Thanks bilko! Coat come from model.

I take your tips for my next model!

Another quite easy thing you could try for your next model is to give the whole model a dark brown wash (very thin paint) to make the shading. I can see that you know what you are doing as you´ve started blacklining along some panels, but it can be too strong contrast if you do it over the whole model.
Good luck Tuomas!
Cheers Andreas

Tuomas, that's a darn fine model you got there!

I love the camouflage scheme and how you 'populated' the interior with accessories.

Keep up the good work!

Nicely built model there

The only things I don´t like that much are some of the colours you used.
The dunkelgelb seems fine, but the red-brown and the green don´t really match the original ones. Furthermore you should give the tracks a more metallic look.
Hope this will help for your next model, keep us posted about your progress!

Best wishes, ekke

Fine model there Toumas, only thing I want to add is the color of the tracks, try to apply some weathering to them because looks a little to bright.
Otherwise, nice job, keep it up, looking forward to see your next one.
best regards

Hey Tuomas, thats a nice start. As mentioned your goodies in the back bring some life to your 251
For your next model a couple of tings could really improve it.
-Pin wash has been mentioned, this will bring out your details
-a coat of dull finish (dull coat) will help to get rid of shine and helps blend the camo paint , helps hide the brush strokes.
-dont go over board with your scratches, try using a plain graphite pencil (this works well on the dull coat), remember a little goes along way. Dont be random with the scratches, think about where they might be likely to be
-use some paint pigments or plain chalk (brown) to add some dust to the lower parts of the hull and track/wheels ( gets rid of the "new look" )
-blacken the end of the gun barrel

look forward to you next model

You can see the modelfixes in first message!

Nice bit of construction there on your kit.

the only thing I can add that no one has said yet is that the rounds laying in the bottom would more likly be spent rounds.. (empty brass casings) I don't think anyone liksthe idea of having live rounds rolling around underfoot.

by the way I like the rifles tucked away in the side compartment thats open. nice little touch.

Hi Thomas
It looks good for your future as a modeller. You've done a very decent job. Congratulations.

Simon
