What does that aqueous black surfacer 1000 thin down with? Isn't aqueous a water based paint? Does it work well as a primer or does it peel off like the acrylic "primers"?

S M
I haven't tried to thin it with water although it is promised to work. I could airbrush mr.surfacer 1000 without thinning with my old 0,4mm needle airbrush, but in case I want to thin it I use Mr.Hobby Color Thinner 400 (turqoise colored bottle). I think this works very well as a primer. It sticks and it can be smoothed with sand paper.

Nice work so far, watching! I also use aqueous black surfacer. I thin it 50% with Tamiya's X20A, spray it with a 0.4 mm needle at 15-17 psi. It works a treat.

Swedish markings, I'm in on this project!

Skyhiker
Thanks for the info on the surfacer. I'm looking for alternatives to using heavy chemicals, and hopefully this will be an answer.

Thomas Kolb
I am all eyes! I didn't even know we used the He-162.

It's been a while my friends. Have been working on 3 subjects at the same time since October. Stay tuned!

That looks like it's going to be a remarkable diorama.

Lenny Li
Some updates. First time using hot wire foam cutter. It turns out OK for setting up the base. Applied AK diorama paste on top.

Made the first mistake when using spray can - the paint or the agent reacts and corrodes any exposed foam surface. Had to reapply paste for the 2nd time to fix. Painting is quite straightforward, just Tamiya acrylic paint with airbrush.

Next step will be weathering.

Derek Ryan
Fantastic work, great job

Neuling
Very good looking vehicle! - Where in Africa stand these giantesses?

playtime 222
Are the figures of Indiana Jones and his dad next?

Neuling
Your reference picture shows the Erechteion on the Acropolis in Athens.

Rui S
Great paint work so far. 👍
@Neuling yes They will leave soon to Afrika😉

Lenny Li
All done. Still working on my figure painting skills...

Hanno Kleinecke
Wow that looks superrealistic and lively ! Excellent modeling ! The only question that comes to me is - how did this Steyr manage to sink two subchasers and 10.600 tons of enemy shipping - in the african desert..... 🙂 No offence ! 🙂

Moritz Fentzahn
Great scene. Love it 👍

Neuling
Top paint work on the Steyr and the figures!👍

Konrad -
That is indeed a very very nice dio with all that details in it! Great presentation on this unique background!
Absolutely great 👍!

Rui S
Impressive work and dio. Great weathering on the Steyer, lot's of details. Very well done 👍

Spanjaard
it looks great. fantastic details. Interesting to use copies of the Caryatids as statues (as normal Caryatids they are quite over dimensioned, and the Afrika Korps was never in Athens, I think 😉 ) fantastic dio.

Dimitrios Balanos
Nice work, but Kariatides are located in Athens.

Mathias Decommere

That's a beautiful Fitter. The paintjob is absolutely exquisite, I wish I could make those soft color transitions as well as you.

Robert Podkoński
Taking a seat, of course!
(Perhaps the transparencies and propellers from this kit would work:
Soviet Tu-2 Bomber (HobbyBoss 80298, 1:72))

Thomas Kolb
Thank you Robert! The three-bladed standard propellers in the kit are actually fine, it is the transparencies I am a bit worried about.

Łukasz Gliński
Me 2, must watch this - wondering how good/bad this kit is

Dave Flitton
Watching!!

Me 3, this will be another great build to follow.

Me 5!
I still don't understand why they haven't released a more updated tool for this model yet.

Moreno Baruffini
Thomas, you are a specialist in reminding me the models I started and non finished (yet)! Super inspiring, and a great build to follow for sure!

Thomas Kolb
Dear friends, thank you for your interest. I am a bit curious myself how this model will turn out - I have read some pretty nasty things about it in reviews, but I am not sure it's so bad. It certainly looks very intricately designed, not your usual shake 'n' bake kit for sure.

Gergő Takács
Thomas, you are doing always the same project what I want to do in the future with the same kits. 😀 I'm always taking a seat and save your work for motivation.

Finn
I'm in

Łukasz Gliński
Thomas, your tutorial is priceless! 👍

Mr D
Like this 👍👍
Big fan of soviet n russian stuff, will have to look up history on this one as new to me.
Interesting subject, Nice 😁

Cuajete
Good start, Thomas. Thank you so much for your tutorial 👍

Thomas Kolb
I must say, I am pretty impressed with this kit so far. At first sight it looked like an Amodel kit, but everything is very cleverly designed and all parts fits together beautifully without any problems. The only gripe I have is with the plastic itself - it's very soft and stretchy and definitely does not like to be sanded.

Nicolas
Nice start, joining.

Живко Джаков
I'm here too. I have one in a box and we only see each other with it 🙂
