Made considerable progress on the Shamrock. Camouflage and weathering are done and the tank has been sealed in several coats of gloss coat before I applied the wash. After that it was another few cloats of flat varnish by Mr Hobby.
While that cured I painted the tools and then applied dark aluminium to all raised bolts or screws to make them pop a bit more.
Now the tank itself is done. On the pictures there is still missing a "hook part" that belongs to the tools. I found it in the meantime and it's drying after receiving some metal paint.

Next will be the base. Depending on how that will turn out I will apply a bit more dirt to the tank to make it looks not so out of place.

Nice, looking forward to more 🙂

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! 👍

Nicely done Grizzly tank! 😎

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

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

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. 🙂

Finn
Really cool!

Dash Rendar
Nice little base!

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.
