Any idea how the guy on the left got the popeye arm ? wound? loader? bonus points for identifying the tank and extra bonus points for guessing the rabbits name. :yipee I havent touched a model or a brush in 6 months not sure what is going on with that.

I have been reading a lot about the insanity that was the first world war recently "the great war" as it were . Perhaps the ultimate oxymoron. The sheer horror and size of the slaughter is beyond comprehension. When I first got this kit I was pissed off as the trench was lower than the guys...

The ongoing attempt to try to paint figures

Was supposed to have 2 figures , but I thought it looked better with just the one. Also another reasonfor 1 figure I tried doing cammo on the 2nd figure and it was an unmitigated disaster

Verlinden kit my, first figure.

Does anyone know how I can make a bandage in 1/35 scale ? thinking along the lines of a guy getting his hand crushed , or shot in the calf muscle, size I tried with toilet paper and white glue, but it looked like shite if you will forgive the pun. way to big and out of scale.

cammo smocks ,pak 40, para dome covers. SS para artillery ? never heard of them.

Sorry for yet another question but can somebody tell me how I can go about replicating the wood grain effect on a rifle as in this example using acrylics . thanks

I have found I get impatient sitting around waiting for either glue or paint to dry , so I now have 4 different builds going on so there is always something to do. Ok so 2 of them are Tamiya figures that I am practicing figure painting with. I was curious what is the average number most people...

I have just sprayed a very nice base with white army painter primer. I think I had the can to far away ,as everything that was smooth has now become gritty and horrible. Is there an easy way to remove it all and start over ? thanks

Originaly this was going to be Verlidens ambush base with the Tamiya pak 40 kit. With the crew firing through the hole in the wall. Very easy and straightforward. Unfortunatley the pak40(let alone the crew) did not fit on the base. Even with the barrel poking through the hole in the wall I had...

My first attempt in 45 yeas, or so really just an exercise in painting . I couldn't really afford to paint anything back in the day. just glued it together and put the transfers on. just about everything ended up with around 12 coats (just to see what this or that colour does ) the last coat...

I have just about finished my first ever diorama and was quite excited about the prospect of taking photographs and posting it on here. That was untill I went to the dioramas forum where everyone is posting their work. The quality of everything there is out of this world, the level of painting...

I am trying to paint quite a large plaster cast brick wall section 1/35 I primed it white several coats. I painted it a redish /brown color with vallejo acrylics, which I thought looked quite good. I decided to add a black wash which I had hoped would fill the fill in the cement betwen the...

Can you tell me the way you guys " hold" small pieces like grenades , packs, knives etc while you paint them ? A lot of dioramas I see,have small brass plaques on them showing the name of the diorama , which look very professional and add something to the finished diorama are these self made or...
