Thanks my friends, I feel honored comps from you pro's :-) 

 

really superb !!!!
What paint you used?

 

It's all Vallejo.

 

 

Supercool... Love that camo. Almost done?

 

Yea Jeroen think I stop with the camo now, because I'm always afraid to overdo it

 

 

Working now on the gear, so that I can start build the BMW in

 

thanks

with a little artistic freedom I made a wiring party :-)

After a little weathering of the wires, I will install the MG 131. One of them I will try to show with the bolt in an open position, so we will see.

Just a short update: mount the cowlings and made a coffee brake, while there was this nice evening light. Just missing the right background. Lol

Thanks

Again thanks! Beside a project from my wife, I was building a little, but not so much posting. Anyway lets have a look:

 

Build the BMW R-75 and I will not show pictures from the unpainted plastic, but what I can say is: I was really surprised about the details on this little kit, I'm an absolutely rookie with military vehicels building and so the fit was in my eyes just great. It drives me nearly cracy how many parts can be in such a little sucker. Lol

Then on to something that I'm more familiar with, playing with dirt on my base plate. Starting with Molto Wood repair stuff, where I just put real earth on it

Then I learned from you guy, just paint all black, to give it a little deep:

I allways love the moment when it starts to come alive, after putting different colors on it and begin with the gras

Most important: put from time to time your stuff on the base, to see how it looks

Also look under different lights!

 

 

Also I put some flowers on it, hope they are not to much

Think my FW 190 looses some oil! Lol

Interesting to build was also the Eduard Tool Box kit, I have to learn so much about glue small thing's!!

But I love the effect from tools lying around

So now more tools, a few colors more, but the end is in sight.

 

Thanks

Set the last few tools (really happy with the Eduard tool set). Did you know this? When you work to long on a project, you start to didn't like it. The more you look at it, the more mistakes you can see. So I finished it and hope you like it.

Have a lot to work an my figure painting skills. For me it makes such a great difference when you have a resin figure. Compare the mechanic with the pilot and the girls. Ok, with better painting you can make a lot, but for me, it's so much easier. Look at the ears! Lol

Maybe time to go a little back to my Game Over diorama

 

Thanks for your help and nice words

Beautiful work Arno,

 

It is true what you say, if you don't say "enough" you could notice more things to add and never be finished.

 

I like what you've done with the extra cylinders from the Eduard engine set (mine are going into a Hasegawa '190)

 

Super!

Wow Arno, this is very beautifull work my friend. I really like the way of setting, there's life in it.

 

Makes me wanna try the Revell kit to, maybe for my next project, who knows.

 

Regarding you're figure painting skill, no worry's, you did a great job to them to, maybe there's room for some more hihlights and shadows on theire skin and clothes but that's just a little detail.

 

Again great work Arno, and hope to see it someday in real at a convention.
