Hi ,
this work are after 22 year with out modelling , family work and other hobby make me distance for this excellence work .
Now this is my scena with stug C with cannon and various modifications can still be used in battle, both men are whermacht and the SS, many photos depicting the last months of the war-like conditions, there were many stragglers in those months .....

Model in scale 1:35 from DML kit finished in November 2011. I used same techniques as always: base coat and highlights done with Tamiya acrylics. Same paints diluted with retarder were used for dry-brushing. Weathering was finished with powdered pastel crayons and Vallejo pigment Natural Siena. I added a few parts (handles) I built from scratch from thin metal wire and also some junk on the back of the tank. It comes from various sets, some parts are scratch build like that wooden box.

Model in 1:35 scale from Italeri. Tamiya Acrylic paints, filters and washes, dry-brushing, pastels to imitate dust, chipping done with pencil and mix of silver and grey oil paints.

Scale 1/72 Dragon models.Painted with acrylics from Vallejo and weathered with stuff from Mig and AK Interactiv.It represent tank captured by German.

Hope you like it.

Dragon kit in 1:35 scale. As always I used acrylics from Tamiya, black wash, dry-brushing and pastels for weathering. Weathering is not too heavy. I believe sometimes war equipment used to look not so dirty, as rain would wash them.

Staghound in 1:35 scale from Bronco. Painted with Tamiya acrylic paints. Black wash was added after spraying the whole model with glossy transparent coat. In next step I dry brushed model and sprayed it with flat coat. Finally I applied "dust" from filed pastel crayon. I like the effect it makes.

Comet in camouflage from 1945 (Germany) in scale 1:35 from Bronco. I just finished this model. It was very nice build. I replaced some parts like a handles as original were rather poorly made. I used a wire 0.5 mm for it. After painting whole model with green Tamiya acrylic paint I sprayed it again with slightly lighter colour. I used black wash that I made myself and dry-brushed edges. Then I also run a pencil on some of them. Finally I used some pigment mixed with turpentine to mimic a mud on lower hull and wheels. It was the first time I used this technique and I am a bit disappointed with results. It was too pronounced, so I toned it down with a dry pastels dust.

Scale 1:35 set from Bronco, one of my recent production in flat grey camouflage from Septembers campaign in Poland. I am planning to put it on small diorama or vignette. I painted it with Tamiya acrylic paints and weathered with pastels. Interior seemed a bit empty so I put some "junk" there from kits or scratch-made. Black wash was used before the pastels. I also used dry brush technique.
