The grim reaper

[Bagge]

Planted some grass and worked on the mud a little bit, not much progress but it's something

the white glue isn't dry yet, that's why you see some white in the grass.
the jerry can will get some nice rust to it to. B)

Looking good Mats, if that's real grass in the real mud, you got a scale lawn mower??

I kid....Looks very good!

 

[Bagge]

That's the next project! a lawn mower in 1/35
The tall grass is from an old paintbrush and the low grass is some railroad stuff from Heki (not so easy to work with in small pieces, more if you cover a big spot).

Looking good. This grass is also excellent.

Looking good Mats, but if I may. might want to work on the eyes a little more, especially on the chap with the top hat. The variations on the uniforms are really looking good!

 

[Bagge]

Yes i find it difficult to get the eyes look good, i will give it some more work

Another "small" update yesterday we were attending a modelshow in tienen together with a couple of friends from modelbouwclub Halle, and i managed to get a little bit done on my dio, added the ground cover (dirt) so now it's time for grass and the other things you find in nature :hmmm

Yeah !! MOving right along !! I like th Base .. th Figures .. th Concept !!

 

[Bagge]

thanks panzerace! didn't work much on this lately, must find inspiration to paint those soldiers

 

[Bagge]

Got back working on this one this weekend and i will try to get it done, have been struggling with the painting of the soldiers carrying the wounded guy...seems like it is always something more to paint!
started with the grass on the dio to, used my home built applicator for the static grass.
Just need to wait for the glue to dry now and then clean up the grass thats not stuck.

Mixed 2 different kinds of grass, one short burnt grass and then a green little longer one.
Think i will go over with the airbrush after i'm done to give it some variation.
feels good to be back on this one, got some good feedback on it at the show this weekend
