Upper surfaces done, added some exhaust stains and sealed the top with my new fave varnish: Tamiya LP Flat Clear. Absolutely fabulous! Gives a nice soft tone and does not desaturate the colors that much. #histscalemodels #eduard #tamiya #luftwaffe

I hand painted the spinner. It is slightly simplified version of the original one;)Raw umber and lamp black from Winsor Newton mixed with Tamiya Enamel Thinner serve as wash here. Coming closer to the end of this Focke:) #histscalemodels #luftwaffe #scalemodels #eduard

Decals done. Except the yellow spinner;) messed it up completely and it has to be hand painted. Challenges you gotta face #histscalemodels #luftwaffe

Evening y'all! All painting is done now. Gloss varnish is coming in tomorrow:) I am happy with the result here:) #histscalemodels #luftwaffe

Did you miss me?;) so I missed you and my bench room. Hurricane got shot down and was successfully binned(it happens) and pulled another mothballed one. Fw190A5 from Eduard. Oldie but goldie! #histscalemodels

Hurrie is underway yet nothing spectacular happened:) However, I am debating next project. Decided to use Revell enamels on any big kit from Revell...so a bit of practice comes always handy:) surprisingly, they allow to create some fine and varied layers! But only with Tamiya thinner:)

I There's nothing better than putting up with a new Hurricane model, don't you think?:) a quick one from Hobby Boss(Easy Kit series) Knowing my pace, it will take weeks to finish it off xD Haven't been painting in a while, hands feel a bit stiff but it will come back:) #histscalemodels #scalemodels

It's been years...I mean it. It spent ages in the box. Decals... again.

So it's done! PZL P.7A from ZTS Plastyk, and old Polish company. Tricky little kit:) Polish pre-war aviation is a topic which I never dared to touch. And I did:) Enjoy! #histscalemodels

PZL P.7 from a legendary ZTS Plastyk on its finals. Have not been doing much in the bench room recently. Skills deteriorated and I feel it. Just not bothering much though, if at all. Moving on:)

It's here!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥 Thanks @spencerpollard.bsky.social 🍀🍀

So Dodge is done:) M6 Motor Gun Carriage from Italeri. Not an easy kit and demands a bit of extended patience:) #histcscalemodels

Go and get it!:)

Bench room busy as never before. The line needs to be cleared:) #histscalemodels

Quite busy at the bench room!:) Typhoon done;) Dodge in progress;) and there are more just waiting in the line:) #histscalemodels #scalemodels

Warsaw Model Show BabaRyba2025:) Enjoy:)

Since the last post... there have been slight changes;) the airframe got sanded well and repainted with a pretty bizarre marbling scheme. I had to restrain myself from going even further xD First coat of finishing coat has been laid:) #scalemodels #histscalemodels #royalairforce

Got this one from my close friend...now trying to repaint and give it a bit more vibrant look:) #scalemodels

All this tedious work gotta be worth the effort!;) nose got the yellow, stating with rlm75 now #histscalemodels #scalemodels

Well, two Bavarian Kites at two different stages sat down on the bench and they won't depart until it's done:) Gustav has been long overdue and this kit deserves justice, ergo, needs to be finished. Emil is a newbie on the bench yet moving on steadily ahead. Gotta love Tamiya paints:)

No clear intent, just pure fun!:) gotta remind myself how to marble well with my airbrush!:)

Tiny break from figures...back to core of my modelling:) planes:) Decided to check a tip by @spencerpollard.bsky.social on how to paint yellow. And yes, it just works! Thanks, Spencer!:)

New delivery:) Gotta love those Lifecolor acrylics:)

Finished! The Fallschrimjager Project is moving on! Still a lot to be improved in terms of layers and shading yet I am really happy and proud how it turned out:) #fallschrimjager #paintingminiatures

It is done now!!! Fresh pics soon:) now, onto the base:)

Coming pretty fast to calling it done. Last night's session ended as usual:paint covered thumb xD and yes, more Fallschrimjager to come xD

Have returned to the Fallschrimjager project:) picking up details is in progress now. Perhaps it lacks accuracy in historical terms yet just painting my way with that mini:) #paintingminiatures #valejjoacrylics #lifecolorpaints

Okay, coming back to the real deal:) started working on the jacket and adding the highlights. This time using Lifecolor Field Blue paint. Boy, these are just Soo smooth to work with! #painting #paintingminiatures #fallschrimjager

Next one up:) boy, this Soo refreshing to paint! I mean it!:) #painitingminiatures #scalemodels

1/72nd scale minis are fun. This WarPac set from good old ESCI is more than entertaining to me:) #miniaturepainting #scalemodels

Bit of really small scale minis on the bench now:) #warpac #coldwar #paintingminiatures

Happy Easter Y'all

Now the pants. Slowly, gradually...but working my way:) this time I decided to use Harder Steebeck Evo Cr+ with 0,15 nozzle and Valejjo Model Color...mixed with Tamiya Lacquer Thinner;) @spencerpollard.bsky.social - this works, I am telling you;)

When Mr. Pollard says something, it usually works! Check out his TheKitBox and read through!

Painting faces is always a gamble... Taking risk with each brush stroke :) #paintingminiatures

Base colors laid and some initial washes applied. Again, this more like having fun rather than doing in by the playbook;)

New one up... #miniaturepainting

Looking for some cool 75mm military miniatures. Anything anyone to recommend?:)

Back from oblivion;)

What a perfect fit... This is the first and last kit from GWH...

Good Evening, everyone! Revealed at Scale Model World, here are the final shots of my brand-new diorama 'Urban Warrior'. This is a fantasy scene built around a @warthunderofficial.bsky.social inspired Type 16 MCV. Plenty of gaming ideas and that colour scheme, made this a lot of fun to build!

Finally arrived!

Hiya all! These won't be seen anyway, however I decided to practice a bit on making jet engines. Looks decent to me, more focus on details in the future would be needed! Happy modelling y'all!:)

Bench time is in real shortage nowadays...but to just cheer up myself a bit-here's what arrived 😀

Been ill for the past two weeks and it appears that power is returning so might hit my bench room tonight. I am falling behind with my Fulcrum and this has to be taken care of in the first place. Good press for attention;) #scalemodels #hobby

Fulcrum in progress!:) ejection seat almost there

Trying to learn to get the pictures of an acceptable quality... So testing 1..2..3

Pulled an oldie I made some mamy moons ago. Trying to learn some better pics...

Added a small base, should do well. C'mon Focke, hit the green!:)

How about calling it done?:) Hellish kit, disastrous in all aspects. Decals almost disintegrated when in contact with water... But hell with that! Made it! Ladies and Gentlemen: 1/72nd Fw190A-7 from Mistercraft - NEVER BUY THESE...unless you love challenges xD
