Thank you for your comments. Very old italeri kit. Waited for years for a zimmerit solution...

Rui S
Kim, Coming from an real Expert in the subject like you, is a great complement, Thanks.

Kim Branders
I'm not an expert, just someone shares the same hooby like you. Keep up the good work mate.

Kim Branders
I meant hobby😉

Rui S
HeHeHe. For me your work is great, so if not an Expert I'm sure you are a Great modeller.

Marko Paakkanen
Very nice tree !😉

Nice dio coming!

Rui S
Thanks Marko. Yes a small one that also died early...

Donald Medley
Love your base

Rui S
Thank you Donald, the finished one is in the photo19

Tim Heimer
I love the detail work, just awesome!

Rui S
Thank you very much Timothy. It's on hold, because I thought in put some figurines in the tank and a horse rider or so in the trail next to it. I'm not very good in figurine faces... I've yet to try the oils on them😉

Donald Medley
You'll love working with oils, trust me

Fabian D.
Your solution for the Zimmerit is genious. Nice finish aswell.

Donald Medley
Very nice indeed

Rui S
Thank you very much for your kind words Fabian, and Donald... as I wrote the kit waited years for a Zimmerit solution... All my latest projects are missing the figurines hehe...

Tim Heimer
Hey I know the pain of not doing faces as well, but all we can do is learn from others and do what fits our liking

Rui S
Agree. I Think the most important is practice... A lot, with new technics. I'm confident that with oils it's going to be better...

Rui S
Some ad on photos. I thought to put some figurines on the side track but for now, I'm going to try a messenger...

Wesley De Braekeleir
Ubercool!!! Love your work sofare! Very beautiful camo pattern on the elefant! 😉

Rui S
Thank you very much for your nice comments, mates.
Much appreciated :
)

CaptGPF
Damn Rui, that camo pattern is wicked! The mud effects are also impressive!

Mr James
I agree with CaptGPF, also that tree is really good. What did you use as leaves Rui ?

Rui S
@ CaptGPF, Thank you for your comment. I hope you liked that Wicked 😄 😉 this Is an old project that is on hold as well as the photos. I hope to take better photos and complete it.
@ Mr James Thank you for your Nice words. I hope you also liked that Wicked 😄 The tree is a bonsai that had died, I cut some leaves because they were too big. If I remember correctly, I spread small wood shavings and other natural ones that I had in my vegetation stash on the ground.
Also, I thank the new likes. Apreciated

Mr James
Ah, its a Bonsai tree. No wonder it looks so good. 🙂

Rui S
I'm very happy to say that I've returned to my mancave this weekend after a to long hiatus.
So to start I preferred a lighter job, although painting horses is not, in my opinion, easy.
Let's see what this will give...

Alec K
Nice to see you back at the bench, and another shelf queen resurrected. Horse looks great imho 👍

Doubtingmango
Great job breathing life into an old kit, and I can't think of a better use for a dead bonsai tree! Looking forward to the finish!

gorby
Good to you back modelling Rui.
The horse looks great.

Rui S
@Alec, Thank you for your kind words and support. It is always great for me to receive such encouragement, even more so, when they come from a master modeler.
@Doubtingmango thx mate, I agree with you., but hey, I can only return to my bench on weekends, só it Will take some time to finish. For me the most important thing was getting my mojo back.
@Gorby, Thank you very much my friend, for your motivational words. They are always very important to me.
The horse will still improve, I hope. At least that's what I'll try to do without ruining all the work that has already been done 🤔 😉

CaptGPF
wow! you aren't horsing around (pun intended)! They look amazing!

Rui S
Thank you for your comment CaptGPF, Glad you like my hors ing 😄. Apreciated

Landlubber Mike
Nicely done!

Desert Marlin
Looks great! The coat should shimmer like a newly minted US penny. (Shiny Copper). I'll follow!!!

Ben M
I hate to be the first to inform you, that is not a tiger, nor is it an elephant, it is a horse.

Kim Branders
Rui, the horse looks amazing.

Rui S
@Landlubber Mike. Thank you for your comment. Glad you like this one
@Desert Marlin, I know whar you mean. I've been hesitating about highlights with a soft airbrush of satin black or satin varnish on the most exposed surfaces. I hadn't thought about copper. But yes, it will have to have some shine.
@Ben M, Hahaha. Thank you. Your comment with a triple meaning has made me laugh several times, but in my defense I can tell you that this horse It is known as having the strength of an elephant and bites like a tiger. That's why they nicknamed him tiger elephant. 😄
@Kim, thank you very much Mate for stoping bye and comment. Always apreciate your suport.

bughunter
I'm not really into tanks but that is a great looking horse 👍

Rui S
Wow, this is an unexpected comment. It's always great to receive a compliment from a Master. Thank you so much for stopping by and for those encouraging words. Appreciate it.

Ben M
Did you give the horse a dark wash around the tendons or post shade?

Rui S
Hi Ben, If i reacall corrctely, I gave a little bit of both, sarting with a black primer, overal coats with oils leaving those spots almost unpainted or with less coverage.

Angel Yovtshev
These horses were a nice surprise, Rui!

I'm currently fighting the harnesses of a two-horse team pulling a gun carriage(it's a hard fight- I can tell you!).
Your reins look splendid!

Cheers,
Angel

Pietro De Angelis
Damn, what a gestation this work has had,
it gives me hope that sooner or later I too will finish something!😅
Congratulations for the scene and for what you managed to do with that old Elefant, the horse is wonderful!
Admiration and respect

Desert Marlin
Very well done! Keep it up!!!

Rui S
@ Angel Yovtshev, Thank you for stoping by. Mate Your comment was also a nice surprise to me. Apreciated. I'm sure that for a master scratch builder like you, the harnesses will be a piece of cake. Looking forward to see it.
@ Pietro De Angelis, Thx a lot for you praise, really Apreciated. But you are right and If you would know the century I started the Italeri kit... 😄 I'm a slow modeller wich fails to keep the Mojo high for long periods, so, it's nice to make a few more steps to conclusion. I'm glad you like my work on the Elefant and horse.
@Desert Marlin, Thx again for your suport, it means a lot to me. I'm sure you noticed that i've followed your advise and gave it a soft overcoat of satin Varnish on the upper or most exposed surfaces 😉

Desert Marlin
I did indeed notice! Bravo!

Gary Victory
Really nice progress Rui. Impressive work on the soldiers camo.

Alec K
Nice progress on the embarrassed rider 👍

Doubtingmango
Headless horseman arrives just in time for Halloween!

Desert Marlin
Looking absolutely great!

Ekki
Watching.

Mr D
Like a Mig 21 👍👍
The extra work looks good.
What were the holes you had to fill ??

Ben M
Nice communist tube

Villiers de Vos
Booking my seat.

Guy Rump
Following. 👍

S M
Welcome, mates! @Mr D Those holes I opened and then filled are auxiliary air doors that seems to be open always when the plane is on the ground.

Robert Podkoński
Good job so far, S M! Keep it up!

DerMattes
Looking good, following 👍

Mr D
Coming along nicely now , Nice decals set..👍👍
How do you find the KP plastic??
Keep up good work...nice subject 👌

S M
Thanks! 😄 I think the plastic is pretty nice. Not too soft and not too hard, but maybe closer to hard. The kit itself is challenging. Seemingly pretty detailet parts with rivets and all, but the fitting is bad. I have already lost some rivets due smoothing seams and filling gaps.

Dave Flitton
Looking good!

Mr D
Coming along nicely 👍👍
Like the blue-tak to place canopy.....l do same n remove once dry... works well.
Good luck on next steps 👌👍👍

Nicolas
Missed this one so far. Great start. 👍

S M
Thanks, mates! The blue-tack is extremely valuable tool for its versatility.

S M
Major bottleneck cleared by successfully painting the lynx in the rudder.

J35J
Joining late, good progress!👍🏻

Mr D
The stencil worked out well, l like your cutting tool....looks more accurate than a standard scalpel.
a fiddly job sorted now 👍

Villiers de Vos
Fantastic work so far. Especially the custom paint work.

Duster_d
Perfect!

S M
I'm trying to get this ready before Saturday, but landing gears and probes are under construction. I caused a little disaster by accidentally drilling through the wing...

Robert Podkoński
Looks great already. Keep it up!
