Used oil washes on the #DDay #MitchesMilitaryModels kit. Drenched it, then removed most of it after thirty minutes. Now I need some work on the eyes and I should be good. #modellbau #modellbauer #scalemodel #scalemodeler #JFFScaleModels #HistScaleModels

Something different. A figure from MitchesMilitaryModels I got as a present when leaving my last job No instructions but nice details. Will have to paint many parts separately before assembly. #modellbau #modellbauer #scalemodel #scalemodeler #JFFScaleModels #HistScaleModels

#JFFForSimon Christmas project The TAKOM (2017) LUCHS kit I started one the road was a quick one. Not very detailed, but nice fit. Lots of flash for a 2015 tool. Christmas #diorama coming up 😊 #modellbau #modellbauer #scalemodel #scalemodeler #JFFScaleModels #HistScaleModels

#JFFForSimon Project 1 The #diorama was a bit too big for my photo box. But I finally took some decent pictures of it. When In saw the Border Model kits emerge I immediately thought 1/3 #modellbau #modellbauer #scalemodel #scalemodeler #JFFScaleModels #HistScaleModels

#JFFForSimon Project 2 Just a "quick" #diorama of one month during the final phase of my Akagi diorama. The inspiration were the Coca Cola Christmas trucks. I first thought 1/3 #modellbau #modellbauer #scalemodel #scalemodeler #JFFScaleModels #HistScaleModels

Added some more christmas ornaments. For the base I worked with Uncle Nightshifts techniques and combined snow paste wite microballoons. Now officially my Christmas ornament at the office 🎄 3/3 #modellbau #modellbauer #scalemodel #scalemodeler #JFFScaleModels #HistScaleModels

#JFFForSimon Christmas Lynx project Working on the base and trying to use some of the methods Uncle Nightshift uses. Some pigments on the Recce Lynx and winter cammo. As usual afraid of faces... #modellbau #modellbauer #scalemodel #scalemodeler #JFFScaleModels #HistScaleModels

#JFFForSimon project Decals done. Not perfect - some where very thin and brittle. Happy, how the canopy turned out with self made masks As I am travelling a lot I now prepared my travel kit 😅 #modellbau #modellbauer #scalemodel #scalemodeler #JFFScaleModels #HistScaleModels

Varnished the #DDay #MitchesMilitaryModels kit. Will work with oil washes next. Never really figured out how to do them properly. Will use the washes and try to remove most about 30 min later. #modellbau #modellbauer #scalemodel #scalemodeler #JFFScaleModels #HistScaleModels

#JFFForSimon project Finished the Zero build. Sadly the instructions were even worse than with the Kate. Now for priming both planes. Tomorrow I will do the IJN Medium Grey, I hope. #modellbau #modellbauer #scalemodel #scalemodeler #JFFScaleModels #HistScaleModels

Nächstes #Diorama beendet - trotz Unterbrechung durch Umzug von Brandenburg ins Saarland. Ist ein bisschen ein Wusselbild geworden - vielleicht etwas zu viel für ein #modellbau #modellbauer #scalemodel #scalemodeler #JFFScaleModels #HistScaleModels #UkraineRussiaWar 1/3

My #MitchesMilitaryModels kit progressing. Assembled it, did a black primer and some zenital work with white. Now I have to find sources for the colours of D-Day paratroopers uniforms ☺️ #modellbau #modellbauer #scalemodel #scalemodeler #JFFScaleModels #HistScaleModels

#JFFForSimon Christmas project I think I got the colour of the Christmas trucks right. And I try the new RT trees 😊 Will be on the road a lot in the next two weeks. Progress will slow down. #modellbau #modellbauer #scalemodel #scalemodeler #JFFScaleModels #HistScaleModels

#JFFForSimon Christmas projects The Christmas Recce Lynx is nearly finished. Time to create the base. And the Akagi got its crew and pilots. Fixed them with white glue. Used pots to stabilise. #modellbau #modellbauer #scalemodel #scalemodeler #JFFScaleModels #HistScaleModels

Had a chance to try out my "mobile setup". Need better magnification - but otherwise it works. Especially the light. Now I have to test if the model survives. Hope the packaging chips will work #modellbau #modellbauer #scalemodel #scalemodeler #JFFScaleModels #HistScaleModels

#JFFForSimon project Finally getting there. Did the flags. Finished planes. Only figures missing. Dec 7th 1941, IJN Akagi. Now I have to find out how to take proper pictures of this #diorama 😅 #modellbau #modellbauer #scalemodel #scalemodeler #JFFScaleModels #HistScaleModels

#JFFForSimon project Started the Zero. Cockpit and engine are primed. Putting together the body now. Nice details in the wings (the guns). But they will never be seen again 😅 #modellbau #modellbauer #scalemodel #scalemodeler #JFFScaleModels #HistScaleModels

#JFFForSimon project Basic colours are done. Messed up one of the engines and had to redo it. Now I sprayed gloss varnish. Decals will be next. #modellbau #modellbauer #scalemodel #scalemodeler #JFFScaleModels #HistScaleModels

Putting base colours on the #MitchesMilitaryModels kit. Sadly no more time this weekend and next week. But I hope to experiment with oil washes later on. ☺️ #modellbau #modellbauer #scalemodel #scalemodeler #JFFScaleModels #HistScaleModels
