Well, the model is gaining color and is ready for weathering. As you may remember, the scratches were to be done on a chipping medium, which is a primer under the base paint that destabilizes its adhesion after water activation. This procedure should be done up to 2-3 hours after painting while the paint is still fresh and not chemically cured. In my case, due to other measures I had to take in the meantime, it took days 4. Yes, days, not hours 😀 Did it work? Don’t blame the player; blame the game, I could say. The day after…

I like experiments. I planned early on that the model would be in three-color French camouflage since such tanks were on the equipment of the 1st tank regiment of the Haller army, which my model represents.

The transitions have to be sharply cut off, and the model has many small details and intricate nooks and crannies. I purchased a Vallejo liquid mask for this at first. Still, as I…

The primer for the Meng kit is laid. In the process of placing it, a thought came to me that I think would be worth sharing, especially with beginner modelers. These, very often, ask in discussion groups – what primer for tank models in green camouflage, sand, NATO, or this or that. And in order not to get into the paranoia of buying several different products, which, by the way, do not cost little and go in bulk, they would ideally like to recommend the most universal and best possible. And such, in my opinion, is “Mr. Hobby: Mr. Mahogany…

Howdy fellas! The trench base model is prepared for painting, so it’s time to finish the construction stage with the first YouTube video. Currently, I am catching up with the commentary, and the channel launch is fast approaching. As for the model, the stand glues together very quickly. Unfortunately, it requires quite labor-intensive puttying of the surface smoothly. If you plan to make the sides black, a decent sheet of sandpaper is worthwhile. However, I had a different idea, so I carefully sanded only the base bottom part and patched the top so there were no holes and gaps that…
