Tom B.The winter camo looks quite interesting. Did you apply a thin layer of the white over some of the exposed normal camo, or is this an optical illusion?
Simon NagorsnikHy Tom,
It´s not the look that i want to achieve.
The washable color has lubricated too much.
The lower camouflage should be much better to see.
Could not remove the excess without damaging the other paint work.
Worked like a very strong white filter.
I think the washable white works better for larger scales, next time I'll use chipping fluids again.
Tom B.I understand, that easily happens with that washable white acrylic. Just put some on my BT-7 where I did make use of the very phenomenon that worked against you here. I guess the filter effect is a two edged sword...
Bruce HuxtableIt has a ghostly, ethereal quality which gives it (for me) more of a sculptural feel, and perhaps a subliminal, deeper message.... Serendipity sometimes needs to be allowed to happen. 🙂👍
Simon NagorsnikHa, ha, Bruce, you are right!
I wanted to try to create some variety.
Some will say that it is too much, but if I manage to make it look interesting, I'm happy!
I am a clear representative of artistic freedom 🤣
Things that stand out are often better for me than the standard.- However, I also have nothing to complain about the "standard" 😉
Tom B.The wash had a really awesome effect here in my opinion! It looks rather lively with the rust an dirt seeping into the white areas. Great stuff 👍
Mirko RömerFully agree with Bruce. Be proud of your experimental approach, it looks fabulous!
Simon NagorsnikThanks Rui, more will follow...
Thank you too, Mirko, i´m glad that you join this party 😁
Also thanks to Robert!
@Tom: the dirt/ rust (somehow both🙂) I set it up before the pin wash was done, with glazes made of acrylic colors.
With the enamel wash I darkened it again a bit, because the contrast was too strong.
Now i´m quite fine with theresult, thanks!
Bruce HuxtableCan't believe the facial painting in photo 8. How the heck? Truly astonishing.....
Simon NagorsnikThanks James and Bruce!
The final pictures are yet to come!
@Bruce: maybe this is interesting for you

Bruce HuxtableSimon, many thanks - that is a very useful tutorial - I'll take away lots, all very useful for 1:35 and 1:24 figures too. Perhaps I'll even dare to try 1:72! I note that you don't add a warmer tone to the ears or lips. I definately agree about the choice of colours (not using anything called 'skin tone'!). Your points about the uniforms were things I'd never thought about - pin washes then filters, but it all makes perfect sense 🙂
Simon NagorsnikSo, work is done!
Thanks mates for all your comments and special thanks to Chan- a great finish 😁
NeulingIncredible! Looks like a 1/35 build. You really promote armor kits in 1/72 scale!
Simon NagorsnikThank you Neuling for your compliment, we do what we can, right?! 😁
Michael KohlYour paint job on tank and figures is excellent again. The nice vignette really adds to it.
Simon NagorsnikA big compliment from a great master, thank you Michael!
And thank you too Oleg, i'm also very glad about your words!
Simon NagorsnikThanks a lot Guy!
But this kit is only built out of the box.
As for the details, Vespid did most of the work😂
Simon NagorsnikThanks a lot for your compliment gorby!
It's actually not as hard as you might think.
First I paint the whole area of the eye with dark gray and then put a tiny white dot in the left and right area.
That's all, it just takes some practice 😁😉
Zsolt CzegleKlasse Arbeit, wie immer! 👍
Ein bisschen zu spaet, aber bin ich endlich angekommen.... 😉
CaptGPFYet another amazing dio - the winter wash effect was done to perfection - it's subtle, yet distinct. If you can do this on 1/72, I'd love to see your work in 1/35!

A kit that can only be recommended.
Fine and sharp details and the accuracy of fit is on the whole quite good.
Only the rollers and the swing arms had slight tolerances during assembly.
But the good looks of the parts made up for it all.
The 3d printed IR device is also wonderfully finely executed, but you should exercise caution when cleaning the part.
It is only a pity that they have dispensed with the IR devices for the gunner and driver.
For this purpose, an aluminum gun barrel with 3d printed muzzle brake is included.
Also the tracks shows nice details.
I built this kit directly out of the box without any additional accessories.
To add a little more life, I used two tank crew members from Royal Model (831) and the roadcross that I used on the base, is from White Stork Miniatures (A003).
For the white wash winter camo I used Ammo of Mig washable white.
Was my first attempt with it.
To create the ice effects, I also tried something new.
Paraffin that I drained from a tea light and pressed in with my finger while cooling to make it look broken.
This was my first collaboration with someone else.
