Hungarian Panzer Officer, The Body, 1/35. (Paint in Progress II).

I start to paint the uniform with the airbrush, I mixed Vallejo’s acrylic Glossy Black 861 with Saddle Brown 940, this way I obtain a satin color perfect to imitate the leather finnish:

I apply highlights airbrushing from the upper of the figure, to lightening the base color with more Saddle Brow, and Bright Orange 851. Important, don’t apply it uniform, only from the high of the figure to light the upper parts, I was applied three or four shades lightening successively:

For finish the airbursh phase, I did the opposite process, in this case I mixed Black 950 + Glossy Black 861, and very diluted, I airbrush it from the down of the figures, to increase the shadows of the figure:

For finnish the leather jacket, I increased the last lights and the last shadows with the airbrus, and I outlined the lights and shadows, to add more color tones I applied blue and sepia glazes and little chipping with orange and flesh colors:

And for this is all, next step the trousers, sleeves and the cap. I hope you like it.

Best Regards All.

Hungarian Panzer Officer, The Body, 1/35.

I’m returning at my workbench, I start to paint a figure for the Zrinyi tank, it is a figure by The Body, the sculpture and the cast are very well done, in this one I’ll try new (for me) figure paint technics, I will use the airbrush, for some parts of the uniform.

I start to paint the face and hand, with the usual technics, the color palette is very pale, I like to do the Zrinyi and its setting, with pale, grey and sad colors.

I’ll keep updating soon.

Minsk 1944 Summer, Operation Bagration, Dio 1/48

Hi my Friends.
I’m building now a 1/48 scale dio.
Contrary usually I do, I will to show the first steps, maybe it will be interesting for you, not only show the work finished.
For me a dio genesis is not a clear process, usually I have several models in the workbench, ready for paint and in my head, in a certain moment all pieces «take in its place» and I do the dio.
This time, I have a Su-122 in very advanced build state:

Hola a Todos,
Entre otros proyectos de más enjundia he empezado a «perpetrar» un dioramilla a 1/48.
Normalmente pongo las imágenes de los trabajos ya terminados, pero esta vez he creído más interesante explicar mejor, el planteamiento y como se desarrolla el trabajo a partir de una idea inicial.
Para mi la génesis de un diorama, es un proceso poco claro, normalmente tengo por casa maquetas montadas otras a medias, ideas rondando por la cabeza, que en un momento determinado se unen las piezas para formar un Diorama.
Esta vez la cosa empezó con un Su-122 que hace ya tiempo tenia comenzado:

Second I saw so many pictures SPG advanced in Minsk, summer 1944, in Operation Bragation.

En segundo lugar, tenía varias imágenes que me gustaban de autopropulsados rusos, avanzando por Minsk en el verano de 1944, Operación Bagration, la ofensiva de verano rusa, que destrozó el Grupo de ejército centro alemán.

(pictures only for discuss purposes)
I do many sketch in Autocad, (I’m Architect surveyor), it will be very easy do a build in the soviet ’30 style.
I need another one vehicle, first I think in a Ketten, but finally I choose a Schwimmwagen:

(Imágenes solo para discusión en el foro)
Sobre los edificio, hice unos croquis en Autocad, inspirándome en las construcciones típicas soviéticas de los años ’30, que se pueden ver en las fotografias anteriores.
Hace falta otro vehículo, primero pensé en utilizar una Ketten, pero finalmente me decanté por un Schwimmwagen:

Previously, I like do so many test to chek the final dio layout, the Su-122 will situate a level upper the schwimm:

Antes de continuar, me gusta hacer pruebas de distribución, con todos los elementos, el SU-122, ira elevado sobre el nivel del Schwimm:
