W.I.P. T-34/76 1943 Production Model, Tamiya 1/35. (2)

Finished airbrush base, I used AK Real Colors applied with airbrush, I made some lighting and shading effects looking for a natural result enhancing the shapes and volume of the model. The Polish decals are from Kagero’s book ‘Topshots’ dedicated to the T-34/76, so it is ready for the demonstration talk I will give next week in Talavera de la Reina. Hope to see you there. Best Regards. / Base aerográfica terminada, he usado los Real Colors de AK aplicados… Continua Leyendo

W.I.P. T-34/76 1943 Production Model, Tamiya 1/35

My nth T-34/76 from Tamiya, I don’t even know how many I’ve had… I have prepared this one for demos, especially for the Ceramic Brush of Talavera de La Reina, that’s why I haven’t improved and updated it in depth, I have simply changed and added elements that can be interesting for painting, like the engine grill, the spare links of the turret, the gun tube is from Orange Hobby because the original one is very loose. A timeless kit… Continua Leyendo

W.I.P. Grumman FM-1 Wildcat, Tamiya 1/48. (2)

W.I.P. Grumman FM-1 Wildcat, Tamiya 1/48. (1)

This is what you see is assembled in two afternoons, not even 8 hours of work, it is true that it will be necessary to improve and sand things, especially when I fit wings and fuselage. Sometimes I wonder if I really need more to enjoy this hobby, it is true that there are more recent Wildcats, better made and more detailed, but they also require more effort to assemble. At the moment this one is ready to start with… Continua Leyendo

W.I.P.: Zundapp KS600 Motorcycle & Sidecar, Tamiya 1/35 (4). The Figures.

Working on the outline of the KS600 figures. Outlining these figures is very demanding because of the fine modelling they have, it forces you to make an effort and be very precise, I’m already seeing some touches. The arms are only with a couple of coats of colour to see the whole. More progress soon. / Trabajando el perfilado en las figuras de la KS600. Perfilar estas figuras es muy exigente por el modelado tan fino que tienen, obliga a… Continua Leyendo

W.I.P. B-339 Brewster Buffalo, Tamiya 1/48 (1)

Tamiya’s B. Buffalo 0 – 1 Joaquín G. Gázquez The first goal of the match was scored by me, the transparent parts of the COCKPIT of the venerable Tamiya’s MODEL came in one piece and I have been able to section it without damaging it, so I will go ahead with this project. Later I will tell you a “secret” about it. This MODEL is very special for me, because when I was a kid I remember seeing it in… Continua Leyendo
