Loved that game! Following!

Managed to apply the camo but later I noticed I should have masked some areas on the tank's side too. Luckily it's hidden behind the armor skirts.
Need to paint the tools next.
Colour is probably not that accurate but oh well. I hope I can remember which I used for the blue. I had to do a bit of mixing. Need to apply them on the Edelweiss too.

Robin (WhiteGlint)
A few more images. The wooden base is still missing though...
Painting her eyes worked out much better than I expected, luckily there is enough space to draw them. There are other figures, roughly the same scale, that use realistic faces, instead of the stylized anime look.

Those eyes turned out well! 👍

Torsten
😎 👍

Nicely done Grizzly tank! 😎

Mech Commander - one of my alltime favorit and the Raven was a nice fast recon. 👍
Like it!

Robin (WhiteGlint)
Thanks a lot mates! This little but simple diorama was a real experiment with the lava but I am quite happy with how it turned out.
I applied Tamiya Flat Red, Red, Orange and Yellow with a brush and then sprayed flat red onto the base to give it the look as if the Lava illuminates the surrounding area.
This is something I probably could have done on the Raven as well but I was a bit scared to screw the Mech up but even without that lighting it doesn't really look out of place, I think.

The Raven is one of my favourites as well but the Bushwacker is still number 1 for me. I built one in the past and might print a new one this year.
I ordered a bunch of ABS like resin which should make it possible to articulate the mechs like action figures. But what's more important it should stop breaking when I try to assemble the models. The UV Resin I used until now can be very brittle and is better used for static figures.

I might add a few little details to the Raven's base and will shoot additional photos in front of the background later. I ordered some spiky red brushes that might look nice on the base.

What's this?

Robin (WhiteGlint)
It's a 3d printed Claptrap from the Borderlands games. I noticed I didn't upload the newest pictures, because I added a bit of wash to the skull. Will upload a few more some time later. Once I managed to wrap up a number of projects I will do a bit of a "photo session" with several models in front of the black background.

For this figure of Black Swan, I am going to use the airbrush for a lot of painting steps, as her clothes and even her hair work with a lot of gradients.
Gradients seem so easy in theory but I guess I'll need a while to do the process right.

Now with other paint applied her skin tone doesn't seem right anymore, and I need to lighten it up again. Probably after I am done airbrushing. Layers of careful glazing should hopefully do the trick.

Watching with interest

Robin (WhiteGlint)
Welcome Capt! Continued with detail painting here. Still more to do, for example her eyes are not painted yet but I am getting somewhere.
I'll definitely have to attach the base she's sitting on to another wooden base to make sure it can't fall over.

Robert Podkoński
Great job, Robin! I have the same kit in my stash.

Robin (WhiteGlint)
Thanks a lot mates! Not much happened here lately as I try to finish the base. Then it's pretty much done. The chipping on the markings of the parking lot is quite heavy so I want to make it look a little nicer with some flowers. 🙂

Torsten

Finn
Really cool!

Dash Rendar
Nice little base!

Michael Papay
Nice... I have the action figure from kotobukiya, bought it 20 years ago. At first I thought your figure is one of them. But when there are 3D files I might build a second one like yours.

Robin (WhiteGlint)
Thanks Michael! Managed to work a bit more on the base. I think it's almost done, though I'd like to add some empty ammo cases to the base.
Creating the sign was not so easy, especially given that I cannot read the language so I tried my best at kanji. I tried to recreate one of the signs that were visible in the movie.
It should read something like: "Dissolve the diet. Disband the secret police/special forces."

CaptGPF
Agree with everyone - love the mashup, the weathered digital camo is very well executed!

Robin (WhiteGlint)
Thanks a lot Markus and CaptGPF.
Here too progress is slow. I am currently trying to make some tarps to give this diorama a bit more character but it's not working out nicely yet.
This needs more experimentation. In addition I was searching for more stuff to add. Maybe oil drums and other stuff. I am also considering figures.

Robin (WhiteGlint)
Thanks for tuning in, everyone. I hope I can do Fire Keeper justice. Dark Souls 3 was a great game and I enjoyed it a lot.
I am almost done with two other figure projects and might be able to focus on her next. While I already primed all parts I realized that more clean up is necessary. There are still remains from the supports on some parts that require my attention.

Marius
Following! I loved the Dark Souls series!

Robin (WhiteGlint)
Welcome Neil!

Made a little bit of progress. I applied the first decals and stencils and I have quite some more to go.
I also found my R-60 missile set and I hope to work on it soon to have them assembled and painted before I apply the next clear coats to seal in the decals.

Robin (WhiteGlint)
Added some streaking as next step of weathering. I don't want to overdo it so I hope it not too dirty.
After everything has dried again I will apply more varnish to protect it all.

I found the Eduard R-60 and tried to assembly them but, as expected, I failed. Some of the resin fins fell to the ground and disappeared, which really sucks.
I kept the launch rails but will order a set of 3d printed R-60 from Reskit. From how the instuctions look like I only need to glue the seeker head onto the missile while all fins are already attached.

My last try to get some R-60 for this project. If I fail again, I will probably keep the MiG without any missiles and pylons.

Dash Rendar
NIce, looking good so far! Keep it up!

Robin (WhiteGlint)
And done! Should have spend a bit more time for a better clean up but it turned out quite okay.
There was a big drain hole in the front of one leg and I tried to fill it somehow but I suck at sculpting.

John
Awesome kitbashing skills! 👍

Curatorm
that's a smart model 🙂

Simon Nagorsnik
Hope to see soon some results here 😉

Robin (WhiteGlint)
A little gift for my Baldur's Gate 3 player group. As we all love the owlbear cub so much I decided to gift both other players a little diorama each. This was a fun little project I did in just two days. You can count a third day for the printing/cleaning process but that is not me really doing anything.

I learned a lot of things with this project and had a real blast. The fit of the final version somehow is not perfect and I do have a few gaps though but all in all I am happy with the result. About this fit issues there probably are a few more things I can learn. Except for the first layer of grey on the ruins (walls and floor) everything is painted with a brush or a sponge. The wooden things like the kegs were completly drybrushed and I added details like the metal colour later with a brush.

Next year I should work on a third one for myself 😄

Now where is Scratch?

Robin (WhiteGlint)
Thank you Roland 🙂

Simon Nagorsnik
LOL!
Like this one very much 😁
Great idea and paint job mate!!
