WOW!!!!! First time I am taking a look at this and I am blown away.  The Mecha is looking so cool.  All the details are so cool.

Hi folks!


Finaly, i have time to continue my gb projekt!! At first i have finished the 234\5s building and started the painting. Here is some update picture. The church collapsed by my hands, because i have a better idea for it! Dont be afraid, the church stays, but it moves onto the dioramas middle point, it will have only the main tower and the front wall. I will make the full interrior and the full roof. Next week finaly arrives my  proxxon lathe!! Hell yeah! When i have finished the 234's painting, i'll start the building of the russian mecha to the diorama. It will be half smaler than the german one, but ill try to make it much detailed! Now in january and february, i have lot of time, so i think, i can finish this long story!

UMMMM...  Nice wood    Looking good and seriously the wood beams looks great.  Any update on the mecha?

[Brother Hooligan]

Thanks! Mecha update? ehh...  the upper hull and the turret followed his earlyer brothers to the trash. It was too big, and looking ugly as a giant robot (camel?) ostrich. So, i will make a new one. I have some idea for the design. It will looking serious. The legs stays! I got too much workhours in it.

That is a very nice finish on the 234. You have photos of other armor kits you've worked on?

Hi There!

Very Nice build , and impressive paintjob ! Hard to wait to see it finished :) Cool chipping , and I really like the soft modulation on the surfaces.
Keep it up!

[Brother Hooligan]

Thanks MK and Macal!

Macal, it will be finished for the club day! You can analyse it!

MK, im that kind of modeller who never finish the projeckts. Last time when i finished something was years ago. So i have only oldies and horribily painted armor pictures. That will be the first what i manage!

Hi folks!

First, let me apologize because i didn finish this mecha before deadline and make this gb this long. The mecha project unfortunately stuck on that phase where last pics stands. I think i dont finish it... pardon me! But let me compensate. As you see i disappeared in the authentic world for a short time. Start some soviet theme with a trumpeter kv1 tank but my kv have been killed by one of my klub mates good idea, thats why i needed to convert it to something else. The concept is a captured soviet kv tank, what convereted by germans to an urban fighter. It hasn't the normal equipment of the german tanks, only two panzerfaust for the infantry (this tank cant knock out one bigger tank, but it supports the near fighting infantry with heavy fire and equipment, thats why when it finds itself front of a bigger tank, the nearest infantry took the panzerfaust from the back and shoot) and a wire cutter. I tried to convert it to german style tank, so i changed the front of the tank bigger for the tiger tanks radio and drivers hatch plate and swap some parts from the engines plate. The wooden extra armor with the mesh is protecting the tracks against heavy fire from houses or mortars.

So this is a highly what if theme in the same time in the alternative past.

As you know any C and C are welcome!

enjoy:

Hi folks!
At the past two weeks my bandwidth on photobucket was full because of a big sized banner, so i couldn't post any pics from this project. Last week i airbrushed the primer and the basic colors from vallejo modell colors. After that i made the modulation on the edges and the panels with the same colors. This was the easy part of the painting. Before everything i need to tell you i have never used artistic oils, so this model is a highly tutorial model for me. First i used purity seal for made the good surface for the oils. After that i used some humbrol colors for filters. I dont want to paint the full model with oils at the first time, so i only worked on the turret, because if i made an unrepairable mistake, than i can wash down only the turret, not the full model.   The learning part takes almost one week (i painted the turret several times) and the end of this week the turret has so different color with the hull what i cant let be. For the color balance i needed to wash the full model with the mixture of vandykebrown and burntsienna after that i needed to brighten the model with dry brushing used zincwhite, permanentlemonyellow, nickeltitanyellowlight and yellowochre. Now i can start the real work on the model   :mrgreen:  !
