Kesa TihoSo when im returning to tallinn for school i can start making models again. Im planning to make a moc with these claypitrc.eu/en/a/ta..i-tank-gun-pak40-l46 claypitrc.eu/en/a/ta..-tank-type-97-chi-ha , a few paints and some fake grass/whatever i can find aswell. But since its my first moc im looking for tips on how to make the weathering look more realistic and how to make the ground look more like 1944 japan. Im also going to use more advanced building techniques and keep you guys updated with regular pics of my journey. Ps: i am feeling a lot better as im making friends and venting to gorby (great lad who makes amazing builds.) Im excited to get back to my favourite hobby 👍

Ben MI built that Pak 40 when I was a kid. It is a nice kit with figures and shell casings and stuff. It is fun to paint the uniforms on the little dudes. I left the gun itself in grey plastic and just painted the details.

gorbyThanks for the compliment Kesa. 👍
Insulation foam board is good to use as the base for a diorama and you often see offcuts in skips. You might need to ask first as some people get arsey when you take things out their skip (why, it's bloody rubbish?). Also it is possible to use real soil as soil in a dio, although you would need to cook it in a microwave or cooker and whoever is responsible for those items may not be too happy about it. Probably best to ask first with that as well.
You need to sieve the soil. This step can be messy.
Cook it in briefly to dry it and kill the microbes (to stop it smelling). Best to use cleaned takeaway metal foil containers.
Mix it with PVA glue and spread it on your dio. This step can be very, very messy.
I've used it a few times in various dioramas and it works well. Best of all, it comes soil coloured. 🙂

Bruce HuxtableWelcome, Sergio. This one will be OOB, but I'll review some walk around galleries, to see if there are any extras I should add. I think the camouflage scheme will be challenging...

Bruce HuxtableWelcome, Guy. Slow progress, but holidays are over, so progress Wil re-commence!

RandoAmazing build, love the detail. What tape did you use to mask off for the sanding? Looks thick and rubbery.

CaptGPFLOL! That tape was a freebie from my Tamiya International magazine subscription! It's not as good as the Yellow Tamiya tape for paint masking, but it's thick enough for sanding and scribing.

CaptGPFThank you for the kind words, Spanjaard, Michael and Guy! I used the Meng F-4 as a reference for where the rivets had to go, as well as the spacing 😀

CaptGPFThank you for the kind words Thomas / Daniel / Nathan / Jennifer and Shar! I love jets -me specially ones that are armed to the teeth with pew-pews and boom-booms!

DickPhantoms forever! And you made the best version.. VF-84.
What a beauty, very impressive and realistic weathering!

Nathan DempseyEvery time this one comes up in the feed I get the urge to crack open a few more Phantoms. Inspiring work CaptGPF.

CaptGPFThanks everyone for the kind words Dick / Rui / Olivier & Nathan! Still have a ways to go with weathering - but I'll get there someday! 😀

CaptGPFLOL! I will have to redo that base as it isn't quite accurate compared to a real carrier deck. So many kits, so little time. 😀
