Gary Curling@Mr JamesHi mr James,your tiger paint scheme I think leans towards a Russian winter.You may know about night shift on YouTube,a big help to me watching his videos,the one about the tree was very good,as they are all very excellent.I struggle with figures too,especially the standard figures,have invested in a lot resin figures,iam told that they are easier to paint.I will probably practice a little more with the standard figures to use up my stash,and then start painting the odd one or two resin figures.keep at it with the figures you will get better the more you paint them.l was putting far to much paint on my brush,which didn’t help.good luck with the figures and diorama,looking forward to seeing it

Mr JamesYeah, its the Russian front I was leaning towards. But then I saw a couple of excellent Ardennes Dio's but worried about the trees. When I saw your superb tree, it gave me hope again 🙂 But I think I'll stick to the Eastern front.
Nightshift is an excellent channel. Its where I learnt to chip, weather and apply washes. I'm now trying to do figures but like you, end up putting on too much paint, then it looks lumpy...errugh. I've recently switched to Vallejo as Tamiya paints are awful for figure painting I find.
Thanks for your tips and encouragement Gary. Its very much appreciated from experienced modellers like yourself.
Cheers, Justin

Gary CurlingHi Mr James sorry missed your question,i use ready mixed Bartoline all purpose filler from home bargins.Around £1.50.When dry i put vms smart mud on top,as you put it on with an old brush add a very very small amount of water to help you spred it.Then you can add small stones and grit.good luck its all a learning curve.

Dave FlittonThe work is great!!! It's too bad Eduard never provided a set for the more accurate and longer Academy kit.
7 January 2012, 18:04
Austin KThanks. And yeah, it would have been nice. Although the Strykers in Afghanistan have slat on the rear door and that's about it, so you could get away with doing a modern, in-theater Stryker, but it'd take quite a bit of scratch.

Holger KranichFor being braille scale, you did a great job on this model/dio! Nice paintjob on the soldiers, too! I like it!
9 February 2012, 14:03
Austin KThanks! I have a tutorial on how I paint ACU's in 1/72 on the ARC forums in case you are interested.

Łukasz GlińskiThanks mates and enjoy the final pics 🙂
All credits of Mr.Commander go to tankmodels.pl, I only added the moustache 🙂

Bruce HuxtableIf my best were as good as your worst, I would be very happy 🙂👍 A-Model do provide lots of fun challenges 😉
21 November 2021, 20:43
Robert PodkońskiEither you are too kind to me, Bruce, or too harsh to yourself 😉 Your models are much better than mine. Thanks, nevertheless 🙂
21 November 2021, 20:50
Bruce HuxtableAu contraire, Robert. I have yet to try my hand at a bare metal finish, or indeed add fine antennae or rigging. I've only tried a few PE extras, and still only add paint by brush. The finishes you achieve are superb and thus inspirational, and there is never a hint of dodgy filler anywhere 👍👍👍
21 November 2021, 21:32
Robert BlokkerA bit of wash filter or pinwash here and there would already lift them up but actually they are not bad at all
21 November 2021, 21:52
Robert PodkońskiThanks again, Robert... actually almost all of these flew away to my friends' sons already 😉
21 November 2021, 21:54
MarkAnother collection of fantastic beasts, all beautifully finished. 👍 May I ask of photo 19, what is the aircraft type?
5 January 2022, 08:26
Robert PodkońskiThank you, Mark, you're too kind to me. This is a kit of a prototype VTOL plane with thrust augmented wing concept:

Alex KI very much like the Ford Flivver, the Payen and the Bugatti...! 👍 ... and, of course, I do wish my not-so-well built models were as good as your "not-so-well" built models!
7 January 2022, 15:30
Robert PodkońskiThank you very much, Alex, you're too kind to me 🙂 It seems like we like similar topics 😉 The three you mentioned are my favourite ones too.
7 January 2022, 15:48
Marcin DudekI saw some of them (including Ford) and they are grate. Plus It is always a nice suprise to discover a machine I have never heard about before.
7 January 2022, 19:07
MarkRobert, thank you for info on: Rockwell International XFV-1..nd Craftswork AA-2026, 1:72)
7 January 2022, 20:03
Villiers de VosA very unique collection. Very interesting and expertly finished.
7 January 2022, 20:24
Bruce HuxtableI'm enjoying and am impressed by these latest additions to you album, Robert. Looking superb 🙂

because they yak and yak and yak

Łukasz GlińskiSo many nice builds not to belong to such album 😛 (Ford, Arado, DC-9, Dewoitine, Chaika, Delta, Optica and Saro... where the heck did you find the latter one?! 😮 )
And Eclipse doesn't seem to be such a past build either 😛
23 January 2023, 20:22
Robert PodkońskiThank you, Mates, much appreciated.
@Lukasz - there are many different reasons to archivize the photos. I am sure you're smart enough to figure it out by yourself (hint - the printed modellers' magazine in the descriptions of some models presented 😉 )
24 January 2023, 11:20
Villiers de VosA beautiful and unique collection Robert. Thank you for sharing.
24 January 2023, 12:39
Andy BallWhat an eclectic bunch of builds! All wonderfully done too, don't know why you haven't shared them sooner!!
24 January 2023, 12:51
Robert PodkońskiYou're too kind, Andy, thank you. (Frankly - I had to find these photos on my 15 years old computer and transfer them "manually" with a memory stick 🙂 )
24 January 2023, 13:33
JohnVery nice collection Robert. Love the unique types, thank you, very inspiring !
24 January 2023, 16:27
SpanjaardExcellent collection, pictures look good, and models look fantastic. Only thing wrong is the introduction "not so well assembled" 😉
26 January 2023, 23:17
Robert PodkońskiNo Spitfire neither Mustang, too... (in fact, I am going to assemble my very first Bf-109 in near future... in the Luftwaffe der R.O.A markings 😉 )
12 July 2023, 16:42
Robert PodkońskiThank you, Henry 🙂 It took me some time to find the kit, but it was worth the trouble...
13 July 2023, 06:08
Zbynek HonzikThat's a very original collection! I like it very much.
The ones I like the most are the Ford Flivver, AG-4 Crusader, Bristol Racer and of course the Edgley Optica. Awesome pieces! 👏👏👏
20 July, 06:46
Philmeidosem -1/72Superbe boulot! quelle finesse! 🙂 Cela m'évoque Léonard de Vinci et également "L'Éole" de Clément Ader! En tout cas, encore bravo.
25 July, 09:03
bughunterCool little glider! 1:160 seems to be very little as it is not big in bigger scales.
25 July, 09:59
Robert PodkońskiThank you very much, Philippe and Bughunter. @Philippe - I purchased it when I visited Le Bourget museum for a very first time - they sold AeroBase kits at that time... I heard somewhere that AeroBase kits are now to be purchased in some shop in the underground gallery adjacent to the entrance to the Louvre Museum...
@Bughunter - I plan to build the famous Lilienthal biplane glider soon from the same manufacturer 😉 Its span is about 4 cm actually...so not very small 😉
25 July, 10:10
bughunterLong ago I found some Aerobase kits in museums shops in Germany, but I bought only bigger ones. The 1894 glider in 1:48 is still in my stash 😉
25 July, 10:18
Robert PodkońskiLucky you! 🙂 Recently they produced a few fantastic kits...what is even more frustrating, since they are almost impossible to be purchased in Europe...
25 July, 12:33
bughunterYou can still buy them, international shipping for 12€ sounds fair: aerobase.jp/en/
Oh, some new kits!
25 July, 13:16
Robert PodkońskiI know I could buy them from Japan, but our customs office charges a tax as well as a handling fee...
25 July, 13:45
Philmeidosem -1/72Good morning Robert! When I come back to Paris on vacation or on a weekend (I lived there for 22 years and my in-laws live there) I can go to the Louvre and I will tell you if there are indeed models from Aerobase…
