I didn't know, Tomytec made this wagon. I didn"t know, you build in 1:35. But I knew, you build perfect models, like this one! I love it (especially the wooden insert on the roof panel- sick Japanese)

Why is it so dusty? Do you have to hide something? 😉
Kidding aside. Nice worn look with the perfect used and grimed engine compartment.

very very good job!
This is the most beautiful patina on a civilian vehicle that I have ever seen.

Ebay gluebomb restoration project. Stripped the built parts down and cleaned them up.The beginnings of paint up. So much more do. But fun bit next, painting metallics by hand, and weathering it.

Just started to block in the aluminium tub colours, only added a watered down acrylic brown/black wash. Now I wait for it to dry, then ink wash, aluminium layer, then varnish, then another light brown wash.

First ink wash, just to put some life into the aluminium. I'll dry brush another metallic layer over this, then varnish, the do some more washes. Not a quick process, mainly due to drying times, but it looks really good.

That's it for today. Still very early stage, second ink wash. It will become more subdued as I continue with layering the aluminium. This is an acceptable beginning though.

That's it for today, and for now on this project. I've lost inspiration and desire to work on it, so back in the box, until I feel inspired to do it again. Just not feeling it, and I don't want to muck it up. Added a varnish layer, fitted the foot pedals and fixed the hole in the tub wheel bay cover.

Back to the big Ferrari. The cool thing about 70s Tamiya kits, is they gave you buildable tools. It's a screwdriver and wheel nut wrench. Nice.

Not a lot happening at the moment, I'm doing a lot of sanding, glueing small parts, changing bolt heads on the rear of the gearbox and brakes, as these will be seen. I'll add and swap out bolts on the black crossmember, suspension brace, as its also quite noticable. Also drilled holes in the e haust brackets, for the retention springs, Just a quick dry fit too. Even unpainted the engine is an impressive piece of hand-built model engineering from Tamiya.

Scratch built the rear brake air intake cooling scoop bracket. Mad? Me? Probably 😂 there is no line down the middle, it's the crappy silver plastic. It makes dark marks appear at joins and sprue attachment points. I'll putty over the intake, then paint it to look like the clear fibreglass, suitably weathered, with a piece of tape to lesson the amount of air reaching the brakes, just like on the real thing. Exciting things ahead 😉

Weeeell, that's all for today. I'm knackered. Pretty good progress, I've almost finished the 312T's Transverse gearbox, added the plumbing, detail and weathering paint, painted the brake airscoops, added nuts, and painted the suspension crossbeam. Only the anti-roll bar and a bracket still to fit. Bloody good fun that was.

As always, doesn't look like I've done anything at all today. Finished off the anti-roll bar and brackets, made a start on the left hand side suspension lower arm, swapped nuts out for better ones, wheel mount, drive shaft and shock absorber, also made a start on the rear wing mounting bracket and battery holder.

Not a huge update, as I've had a few days away from modelling. Finished the coil springs on both sides and the right upright and drive shaft. Haven't got to finishing the anti-roll bar yet, as I'm changing the support rods for thinner wire, so it looks more in scale. More soon.

Back to working on the Tamiya 1/12 1975 Ferrari 312T. Today was just to get reacquainted with the kit, remember where I was, what I had planned, and where I'm going. Tested the fit of the rear wheels and tyres, everything is just friction fitted so far, a long way to go yet. That's how good Tamiya kits are, even forty eight year old kits fit together so well. Work will continue tomorrow with the rear anti-roll bar system, as im making the connecting rods more in scale. This is going to look awesome finished.

As usual not a lot new to see. With one thing or another I've been busy with other things recently. But back to the rear of the 312T. Finished the gearbox, and rear suspension, anti-roll bar adjusters. Replaced the kit parts with pins, for a finer appearance.

Sloooow work continues on the 312T. The Ferrari Tipo 015, 2,992 cc (182.6 cu in), flat 12, naturally aspirated, engine is a mini kit in itself. Its going to be a complicated, Spaghetti wiring job, there's twelve wires for the fuel injection and twelve wires for the electrical ignition system. Then all the water and assorted pump plumbing. but it's going to look very cool. I am going to add a few things here and there, and I've sourced some air funnel mesh guards. Also I'll be assembling the Octopuss exhaust system of twelve pipes too. Proper Italian plumbing nightmare, but it is a Ferrari lol 😆 all this is just dry fitted for now.

Mixed bag of modelling today, shook sticks at a few different kits. As winter is approaching, looks like I've got Ships and F1 cars in my future. I've been putting the Ferrari off for months as I worked through my Sci-Fi backlog, soo work will commence on the 1975 world championship winning F1 car, my birth year. Doing the bodywork air-intake mod, and scratch building the fibreglass valve covers, plus adding a lot of missing details, wiring and plumbing, swapping nuts n bolts, scratching the accelerator assembly, and spray painting the final bodywork for the first time... a lot to do, but it'll look very cool.

Ferrari 312T Tipo 15 Flat 12 engine. Only made a tiny bit of progress today, first pump and hose. More weathering to come. Then fitting all the pipes, electrics, rear transverse gearbox and suspension, and the exhaust system, that all pretty much needs to be done at the same time.

Making a start on painting up the first three exhaust pipes. I'm going for a 1980s Tamiya Catalogue, Francois Verlinden look. Painted to my personal taste, there's more than enough pristine, sparkly builds out there.

Teeny tiny update almost done on the exhaust system. I am not a fast builder or painter. Waiting for the glue to dry on the exhaust pipes, some serious engineering went into the twelve pipes, each one is unique to the others.

You had me wondering, so I went and looked it up. Going by the markings (I'm not a tractor expert 🙂) this is a John Deere 9530, which is 24.0 feet long (veritread.com/specs/..tors/john-deere/9530), or in real-world units: 7.3 metres. A T-72 is 6.7 to 6.9 metres long without the gun. In other words: the hull is only slightly shorter than the tractor overall. Yet in the photos of the model, it seems to be only about two-thirds the length. Is the tractor 1:24 scale?

Thanks for all the kind comments
It was for a Ukrainian fund raising event
The John Deere Tractor is an off the shelf metal toy that I just weathered up
Regarding scale? I think it's 1/16th model 9320.... I didn't spend a lot of time looking for a scale model for the tractor as I had to do several other builds for the fund raiser.... This was the closest I could find of a picture I had seen online of a Ukrainian farmer using this model tractor to drag away an abandoned T-72 during the early days of the war

Thank you for all the likes gentlemen!
S B, the aluminum foil was used to protect the underlying plastic from the sprue goo I used so as the sniper pylon fits better to the fuselage. All Sniper pylons I have are either for the Eagle or the Viper so one had to be modified to fit.
I will sort the photos and add some comments too.

It would be more effective to add these to your stash and then mark them as for sale. Then people who have these kits on their Wishlist will be notified.

I would also suggest not to leave your email open for everybody to see (including spammer, scammers...). you can better say "write me a PM for contact details". message can be edited (for a short period) or deleted (specially if you follow the great solution from Ben M)

Also don't expect great results selling on scalemates. I've sold a few things here but I think listing on eBay tends to find buyers faster.
The nice thing about scalemates is if you want to trade, you can do that. On eBay you have to transact for money.
Good luck, those big 1/32 kits should sell well!

T-14 Arctic Camo BuildNovo: 2 February, 22:59 1:35
The tank is taking more and more shape.
Projeto: T-14 Armata What-If Splinter Camo
6 13 January, 21:51
Alexander
After some time away from the bench I am returning not with an airplane as usual but with something different (although still modern) - a tank in 1:35.
Specifically it's the T-14 Armata. Although it is in development for quite some time, not many units have been produced. So I took the creative liberty to imagine a what-if splinter camo to add a bit of color to the tank instead of painting it in the dark green as it is seen in the victory parade.
My first tank model ever, will see how it goes. Also, some aftermarket as always.

Finished detailing the rear of the kit.
I am actually following a pretty detailed and useful build series on YouTube about the exact kit with the exact aftermarket. Highly recommend for anyone interested in this subject as well.

Hello Jakko, great build. As I see you like critics, I would just recomend to tone down the high lights of the fabric of the main canon and the machine gun next to the driver. Nice Build! Congrats!

Really like that Jakko. In my short experience I've noticed that some people really overdo the weathering. This seems a lot more realistic and not overpowering like some I've seen. Looks classy!
Love those lines with the tension bolts. Are they 3D printed?

Thanks. I tried to have the weathering appear realistic, with the kinds of colours you could expect the tank to pick up in the area it was in before embarking on the landing craft, and the colour of the mud where it came off it again.
The tensioners are cast resin, since they came with the Resicast deep-wading set. As photo 51 shows, I removed part of them to glue in some brass tube, so I could thread the tensioners on fishing line.

Do people use fishing line for the airplane (don't know what they were called. The lines from the cockpit to the vertical tail fin?) ones too?
The wading set was for beach landing mostly, I presume? I think the little airfix 1:76 Cromwell I recently made had an option to have snorkels too. Think they're the same kind of thing. I wish I'd added them now 🙂

I think some people use fishing line for the rigging (that's the word you were after 🙂) on biplanes, yes. I've never rigged a biplane myself, though, so I can't say anything about how tricky that is to do 🙂
And yes, the wading set is to allow the tank to ford through deeper water than it could otherwise, for landing on a beach. The upper parts were discarded almost immediately when the tank got ashore — which is what the tie rods/cables are for: some hold the ducts onto the tank until the commander releases them with the mechanism on the rear turret roof, others are to ensure that the rear duct pulls the front one along with it off the tank.
As for kits that include the wading gear: those usually only provide the ducts, but not any of the other waterproofing necessary to allow the tank to ford deep water. As a result, a lot of modellers build models that have only the bits that would be discarded first, but none of the bits that would be on the tank as well if the ducts are on … But then, not everybody cares to get these things right, I suppose, let alone try and obtain official deep-wading instructions just to build a model 🙂

Thx Spanjaard 🙂 It looks quite nice when in place, but I have one point with the acrylic rod I will use and the hole in the background to hold it. I thought about to place some cotton around it, but I am not sure. But let's see, time and test will tell.

Ah. I thought the front had a special shape and wanted to know where you aquired it. But now I see that I was fooled by the white block in front of it.

@Michael, ok got it. The black wooden base was made by Roland Dörrich Diosockel. I can highly recommend Rolands work.
The background is a photo printed on a 4mm frame done by a online printshop.

It's just Woodland scenics grass from one of their starter kits, then I based it with some dark green, added some medium green, and maybe some buff. I think it's called fine turf.

My goal here is to build a flexible rally car, using the parts provided, for road and track (desert). I purchased 4 grooved tires and I'm going to use neodymium magnets to attach the interchangeable parts.
For the sake of fidelity, I'll not apply the Monte Carlo decals.
