W.I.P. Panzerkampfwagen 38(t) Ausf. E/F, Tamiya 1/35. Assembly Ready (2)

Photographs of the completely finished assembly pending only the tracks, I also include images of the final details. These pictures are much better, in the previous ones the white balance was not correct and there were still some details to be added. I have used the following materials for detailing: Passion Models photoetched parts. Jerrycans early model from Asuka Models. Machine guns from Panzerart. Gun Barrel by Lion Marc. As I have already mentioned, this model is the one I… Continua Leyendo

Finally I can show you what I have been working on these last weeks, it is the vignette with which I participated together with the Almeria Modelismo team in the Mundialito de Figuras organized by the Asociación de Modelismo Alabarda whose final took place last weekend in Burgos. It is an interclubs competition in which the most important thing is to participate and improve yourself. In my case it has also been to get into subjects that I don’t usually… Continua Leyendo

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.

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. (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
