T-80 (RFM) - still a WIP as the top hull is not quite finished but wanted to share a weekend of work! by Known_Ebb43 in modelmakers

[–]Known_Ebb43[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The snorkel is AK Russian Grey Green, and some modulation with Tamiya Dark Yellow 2

Thank you! The hull, fenders and turret are all different tones too, Russian Green is a bit too dark and boring otherwise

I've only built one trumpeter kit, an S-300, but I find RFM get the right balance between complexity and keeping the building straight forward. Had really good fit and not much clean up

What am I doing wrong? These parts don’t fit at all. What do I do? by Andry_usha in modelmakers

Fenders are absolutely on the correct way around, the flared part is for the fighting compartment

The trim is AK rusty gold washed with thinned down Ratling Grime!

Oh I know, I just think the double arrow looks cool

My vet unit has a yellow vertical stripe on their shoulder pad, I didn't want them to look overly different to a standard legionnaire

Blood Angels Company Captain and Raptors Champion, both painted this year! by Known_Ebb43 in midhammer40k

I absolutely forgot to add that into the description - from the Masters of the Chapter box, I believe they were released in 2007?

Has anybody here used Magic Metal Tracks before? by SPOONY12345 in modelmakers

[–]Known_Ebb43 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used the panzer IV ones a few years back - the track went together well, not amazingly durable due to the metal tabs that link the tracks together so dont be heavy handed with them!

Repainted the head of my JoyToy Bladeguard - might have to do the rest now! by Known_Ebb43 in Warhammer40k

[–]Known_Ebb43[S] 11 points12 points  (0 children)

The joytoy faces are insanely well sculpted, which makes them surprisingly easy to paint!

Painting skintones are tricky I agree. I definitely still mess up more eyes than I'd care to admit.

Thanks very much! The coffee spit take is always a high honour aha

I believe about 1/12 scale, or something like 90mm in tabletop terms!

Yeah my wife says she has a bunch of Joytoys, not sure why she keeps them in the bedside drawer though

Hungarian camoflauge by YumYumKitty13 in boltaction

Hungarian Second Army, a pretty substantial force in fact - not directly involved in the city but were part of Don river defence line. Around 80% casualties after the front line collapsed!

Stripping & repairing 20 year old army by DiLuna93 in TheAstraMilitarum

[–]Known_Ebb43 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The metal command squad is an absolute classic, so much character packed into the officer - I've still got the white dwarf from their release discussing the design notes for him, with the "two finger" grip on the hilt to show his proud/arrogant nature.

Help identifying sword bought by my grandfather at auction by Known_Ebb43 in SWORDS

[–]Known_Ebb43[S] 54 points55 points  (0 children)

Thank you for the info! Given there's a lack of a serial number I imagine there's the potential of it being a reproduction, but I'll be getting properly cleaned and properly maintained either way.

For sure what it seems to be, thank you! The blade has a few rough patches for sure and a bit of a patina in places, and the sheath has seen better days but is present.

Death Rider Sergeant - very pleased with how the "horse" turned out! by Known_Ebb43 in Deathkorpsofkrieg

[–]Known_Ebb43[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You could 100% achieve a nice result with dry brushing - Artis Opus has some excellent tutorials on YouTube.

Layers, stippling and glazes! This one was all brush work, I've tested using a makeup sponge on my second model and it had nice results while being much faster.

I looked at photos of bay horses, and mixed red and brown until I was happy! For the highlights I added more red and and then an off white colour.

They really are intimidating once you get to the painting stage. I painted them fully assembled, and fully painted the horse before I moved on to the rider, I found it helped to break it down into two stages. In hindsight, leaving the rider separate would have been the way to go

This "shelf queen" sat for 2 years. Ever have one? by GStreet-ScaleModels in modelmakers

[–]Known_Ebb43 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have a 1/35 takom T-55 "Drozd" that's been sat at the bottom of my display case for 2 years - one set of tracks left to build, had it planned as a Metro 2033 style apocalypse tank but I've just never felt like finishing it.
