Small 20mm guns are completed. Now its time to move towards 37mm twin SK C/30 anti-aircraft cannons. There were 8 of those on Bismarck.Lionroad set provides resin and photoetched parts to build SK C/30 – I decided to replace barrels with dedicated metal sets from Master. Quite complex little cannon 🙂 and completed 8 pcs…
Belt is finished. Took a while to do this as there was a lot of work with resin and masking. Decided to do reverse colors compared to chest, darker green with lime green details. Legs I will do lime green as a main color with darker green. I’m happy with grenades, they look decent. It…
Shoulders – Wip update As you can see from the previous work in progress post I’ve decided to paint this model green, but to make a nice contrast I painted one shoulder orange with grey bits. Overall this project will be painted in shades of green with bits of gold, silver/chrome and greys. That’s why…
After snap build comes time to disassemble everything, prime it to look for imperfections and get ready for base colors. I always snap-build my kits before painting to plan all of my work. This gives me a better understanding of the model and what needs some special care like parts that will come in contact…
This is my first resin kit to work with so I don’t have much expertise in this area. Thankfully youtube videos were helpful! Started with cutting parts for the frame and at the same time my other resin kit arrived. As I was curious how parts look like from different resin companies I started to go through Yuiao Land boxes.…
Its time to add details to Bismarck’s decks. I started with small rangefinders and optical devices, resin parts from LionRoar set with photoetched seats 🙂 Then fun part begun… 20mm guns (10pcs) totally made from LionRoar photoetched parts + dedicated Aber brass barrels – honestly I dont like repetitive work – but in this case…
First of many posts to come about ongoing project and my take on 1/100 MG Turn-X Gundam. Project has been in works for some time since I joined the MechaWorks team. It is one of the craziest and over the board designs of Gundam in my opinion. The person responsible for this beautiful industrial design…
2h of masking and 20minutes of painting 🙂 Generally I’m impressed with the result. Superstructure looks fine, of course some correction is needed, that will come later. Now its time to deep-dive into details!!! MORE DETAILS!!!! Bismarck looks cool!
As I started to paint superstructure and let it dry, I looked for a way, how to improve the look of wooden decks. I liked the way, how wood is painted, but it was a bit to gray… I would like to add “more life” to general deck appearance. At first I tried the wash…
I bought some time ago at Aliexpress cheap mixer/shaker for tatoo inks. I was using it for Vallejo paints and other with great results.Today I was in need to paint Bismarck with same colors I used before…. This paint was used last time more than 10 years ago – Gunze Sangyo German Panzer Gray –…
