Love your base

Rui S
Thank you Donald, the finished one is in the photo19

Tim Heimer
I love the detail work, just awesome!

Rui S
Thank you very much Timothy. It's on hold, because I thought in put some figurines in the tank and a horse rider or so in the trail next to it. I'm not very good in figurine faces... I've yet to try the oils on them😉

Donald Medley
You'll love working with oils, trust me

Fabian D.
Your solution for the Zimmerit is genious. Nice finish aswell.

Donald Medley
Very nice indeed

Rui S
Thank you very much for your kind words Fabian, and Donald... as I wrote the kit waited years for a Zimmerit solution... All my latest projects are missing the figurines hehe...

Tim Heimer
Hey I know the pain of not doing faces as well, but all we can do is learn from others and do what fits our liking

Rui S
Agree. I Think the most important is practice... A lot, with new technics. I'm confident that with oils it's going to be better...

Rui S
Some ad on photos. I thought to put some figurines on the side track but for now, I'm going to try a messenger...

Wesley De Braekeleir
Ubercool!!! Love your work sofare! Very beautiful camo pattern on the elefant! 😉

Rui S
Thank you very much for your nice comments, mates.
Much appreciated :
)

CaptGPF
Damn Rui, that camo pattern is wicked! The mud effects are also impressive!

Mr James
I agree with CaptGPF, also that tree is really good. What did you use as leaves Rui ?

Rui S
@ CaptGPF, Thank you for your comment. I hope you liked that Wicked 😄 😉 this Is an old project that is on hold as well as the photos. I hope to take better photos and complete it.
@ Mr James Thank you for your Nice words. I hope you also liked that Wicked 😄 The tree is a bonsai that had died, I cut some leaves because they were too big. If I remember correctly, I spread small wood shavings and other natural ones that I had in my vegetation stash on the ground.
Also, I thank the new likes. Apreciated

Mr James
Ah, its a Bonsai tree. No wonder it looks so good. 🙂

Rui S
I'm very happy to say that I've returned to my mancave this weekend after a to long hiatus.
So to start I preferred a lighter job, although painting horses is not, in my opinion, easy.
Let's see what this will give...

Alec K
Nice to see you back at the bench, and another shelf queen resurrected. Horse looks great imho 👍

Doubtingmango
Great job breathing life into an old kit, and I can't think of a better use for a dead bonsai tree! Looking forward to the finish!

gorby
Good to you back modelling Rui.
The horse looks great.

Rui S
@Alec, Thank you for your kind words and support. It is always great for me to receive such encouragement, even more so, when they come from a master modeler.
@Doubtingmango thx mate, I agree with you., but hey, I can only return to my bench on weekends, só it Will take some time to finish. For me the most important thing was getting my mojo back.
@Gorby, Thank you very much my friend, for your motivational words. They are always very important to me.
The horse will still improve, I hope. At least that's what I'll try to do without ruining all the work that has already been done 🤔 😉

CaptGPF
wow! you aren't horsing around (pun intended)! They look amazing!

Rui S
Thank you for your comment CaptGPF, Glad you like my hors ing 😄. Apreciated

Landlubber Mike
Nicely done!

Desert Marlin
Looks great! The coat should shimmer like a newly minted US penny. (Shiny Copper). I'll follow!!!

Ben M
I hate to be the first to inform you, that is not a tiger, nor is it an elephant, it is a horse.

Kim Branders
Rui, the horse looks amazing.

Rui S
@Landlubber Mike. Thank you for your comment. Glad you like this one
@Desert Marlin, I know whar you mean. I've been hesitating about highlights with a soft airbrush of satin black or satin varnish on the most exposed surfaces. I hadn't thought about copper. But yes, it will have to have some shine.
@Ben M, Hahaha. Thank you. Your comment with a triple meaning has made me laugh several times, but in my defense I can tell you that this horse It is known as having the strength of an elephant and bites like a tiger. That's why they nicknamed him tiger elephant. 😄
@Kim, thank you very much Mate for stoping bye and comment. Always apreciate your suport.

bughunter
I'm not really into tanks but that is a great looking horse 👍

Rui S
Wow, this is an unexpected comment. It's always great to receive a compliment from a Master. Thank you so much for stopping by and for those encouraging words. Appreciate it.

Mike Goodman
I built this model out of the box in 2021. It was a pleasure!

David Orr
Mike, it sure looks like an easy build, despite the size of it. I've been looking forward to building it for over 20 years. You need to upload an album of your build.
