Amazing work. The tin turned out great!

I'm quite a Fan of Ashley Wood and especially his World War Robot Paintings,as well as his Line of Figures made by ThreeA Toys.I have a collection of these,but i do so called DIY's as well.this here is a small Bertie Mk2,sold in packs of twelve,all unpainted in either white or black plastic.I reworked the Arms to hold the scratchbuild rifle and added pouches.The chipped paint is done with sponging on paint with a little piece of a sponge which worked well,but  some certain spots need to be redone with a fine brush.to see how small it is i managed to get a Inch Ruler,so you don have to bother with milimeters here.The trashbin is from a toy Garbagetruck,most of the little pieces of mechanical details are from the parts bin

Wow, that is some great detail work there. Amazing!

Loved seeing your set up this past weekend too. Would have loved to have checked it out in person.

[ironpanda]

Thanks Tamer! Maybe,one day you will make it over the pond,and check out my work in person,you never know

I like the sound of that. This place is about community and I am trying to see more and more of it when I get the chance.

Hey there,sorry for my absence here in the past month,but work and family got me too busy.
anyway,i managed to built my first of the new Bandai SW-Kits,and it's the 1:48 Snowspeeder,of course...i built it straight out of the box,but with only one painting option beeing provided in the kit ( Luke's with the Grey Stripes) i painted my stripes orange and used only the Stencil-Decals from the Kit,painting and weathering is done as usual,nothing dramatic here...

Great to see you back. I have been playing a bit of catch up here myself. Love your new snowspeeder. Off to share.

[hemble]

Fantastic as always mate.

Very cool, I like the orange way better than grey. Aren't the bandai models great. Vast improvement over revell. Man, now I want one.

[ironpanda]

Finally,my Bandai AT-STs are finished.I couldn`t resist building two so i can show different weathering-patterns
the build was absolutely straightforward,so i could rush my way to the painting sessions.as usual everything is acrylic paint( Gunze Sangyo)applied with an airbrush.i did some more Color modulation than i normally do,but still keeping the effekt subtile enough.i used Vallejos special effekts Paint set for the first time and i can highly recommend it.for the Base i used PE Fern and lasercut Oak leafes.
i think i will buy a third one,displaying it with the hatches open maybe...?

[ironpanda]
