Global Scale Modeller

yep i saw it and he had to look twice aswell but you can't blaim him our language is simply to hard for the english well parts of it any way
and i have the sanders aswell from the panzer II sig and they work great
i just tried to get the infinity for birth day but i had a big fat NO for a awnser
so have fun with yours

So far that camo is looking pretty damn fine Frans!
I've seen that brush that you're getting up close and personal, I've also been using the H&S Evo Silverline 2 in 1 for months now... You won't be disappointed bud.
It's the brush of brushes!
Pencil lines... and that's no crap... as thin as a pencil line.

Got the infinity delivered today and gave it a try. Wow... that's a whole other experience mate.
Pencil lines indeed. So I gave it a go on the camouflage, and you can see the result in the upcoming update.
Got to say, need some practice with the infinity, but the camo did came out great

WOW Frans !!! Looking good !!!

That's enough for me
Thank you!

nice job until now! may i ask you a question? did you dilute the oil paint a bit with white spirit before you addet the dots? the tip of the brush should also be moistened with white spirit. the dots seem so undiluted on the pic! if they are pure undiluted color there is the risk of adding too much oil color and you'll have problems to remove the excess paint and the colors set in every corner and replace the wash and the fading is too strong! but the results look very good so i guess you knew exactly what to do

Hi Andre!
Thank you
Yes, it's diluted a bit.. Could not get the oil onto my brush without diluting it.
Also The brush was damped. The white colour in the edges that are visible in the pic, is a too strong dry-brushing.
But that will be solved by adding a pinwash.
But I think by applying the dots I used a bit to much white. But The result is looking good so far

I just caught up with your build Frans, ... magnificent!
She's a hell of a piece. You did such a spectacular job on that camo.
The filters and the washes brought it together perfectly. I agree with you about the drybrushing though.
I can't wait to see the interior all dressed up.

Thank you very much Sir!
I was a bit to enthusiastic with my drybrushing I guess
Solving that tomorrow
I'm like this model a lot so far. All effort detailing it really pays off when painting it.
Made a small start on the interior, but there's a lot to do. Taking my time for this.
Cheers buddy

No need to rush. You're the PE king...
The interior is going to be the most weathered and require the most care I think.
As they say, slow and steady wins the race.
In the end though it will look incredible.

She looks amazing Frans truly stunning work buddy

Outrageously good work.

I think it will be some detail painting on the tools and stuff. And adding the radio wires with head phone

Looks amazing!!!!!!

Sublime!
Frans, it was perfect. Now it's perfect plus two.
The only thing I'd add is crew, but that's because I always add them, and I'm a looney.
Exactly the right amount of weathering bud.
Congratulations.

was a little worried for I did not now if I did a good job on this, but now I can die a happy modeler
I'm planning on adding 2 or 3 crew members, all smoking a sigaret. ..
I always try to add a figure, is a good way to show the scale of the model!
Cheers buddy

haha... You didn't need my approval to know that this piece was awesome Frans... it speaks for itself.
FIGURES!!!!
WHOOHOO!!!
I was hoping

I'm blown away the last few details just change the league of this model completely. Truly nice work

Like the look of this and that is alot of p.e.

Super looking piece of armor.
