    Si-B’s Zvezda 1/35 Tiger II (AAGB)

    ha, the fuel vent line issue was addressed before I could mention it :smiling2: . Nice update mate, she really starts to look like a real Tiggy 2 now. Nice touch that you added the woodgrain on the block. Another thing which is forgotten often - and I can't make it up on the photos whether...

    Tunisian Tiger '243'

    Hi Jim, glad to have you on board mate, and thanks ^^ Hi Richard, yeah it will be hard. This Tiger had a predecessor which one me some gongs as naked kit. When I primed her something went wrong and stripping the paint made it worse, got the whole model destroyed. Decided to have a second go...

    Help with chipping colour

    there are different ways indeed. Some people use a dark brown or dark red to simulate the chips. I however use different colors (but I don't mix them). For the superficial chips I use Iraqi Sand of Deck Tan and for the deeper ones I paint a small inside area of the superficial chips using a...

    Latest Acquisitions (2019)

    I think it's such a great looking bird. The Zoukei-Moura version is on my bucket list, but it's so bloody expensive. One of my favourite French comic strip artists has a He-219 featuring as well. So cool!

    Smock colour id/ type

    In general splinter wasn't to be used by the Waffen-SS though the camo's of the different branches were mixed from time to time, especially later in the war when stocks were becoming more and more thin. I know Taesung Harmms sculpted this chap a couple of years ago. I remember him asking lots...

    1/350 U-Boot Typ VII C

    Hi Si, yeah, I think widening the subjects keeps it all interesting. ^^ Ralph, thanks chap. Well, I after another three hours session of painting and blending shadows (of which 2 hours for the conning tower) I can show you the result. It sure makes all the details pop out. The photo of the...

    1/350 U-Boot Typ VII C

    After the decals had firmly set I applied a pinwash to all the details. I must admit I took a risk this time by not applying varnish to protect the decals. When the pinwash had dried the first real stage in the weathering process was started: a filter. First I wetted the surface using odourless...

    Well, this is not the most pleasant day for...first I'll be losing my homebase forum (though this one sure helps to take the bitter pill) and today we went with our kittycat Mono to the vet because she had dental problems. Turned out she had a tumor in her mouth...so we had to put her to rest...

    1/350 U-Boot Typ VII C

    Hi there A while ago I decided to do a quick 'fun' project. I'm massively fond of the work of Belgian modeller Werner De Keersmaecker who is an ace at seascapes and he is well known for his U-Boote. I decided to buy the HobbyBoss rendition of this well known submarine. The kit is well...
