WIP Part 2: M36 Jackson 3D Modeling

 A few Before-After picks of this working in progress, it's how I detail models.

I guess next week I'll began to print some parts.

WIP M36 Jackson 1:56 3D Modeling.

This Morning I feel special inspirated. And I've decided Re-activated this blog. I'm feel specialy Proud of my 3d Modeling skill progresion. After months learning Hard-Surfaces technnic I've deciced post some photos. 

For now I don't have enogh skill to make a model From zero. This M36 is a Remix of several models from Thinginverse. Mostly of 1:100 models that I re-scale to 1:56 and add some details.

Of Course, Plastic kit such Rubicon model are better by far.  

 

BT-5‏ FAST TANK

The BT-5 entered service in 1933 and, with gradual deliveries until 1935, equipped all armored cavalry brigades. The first active engagements came in Spain, in 1937, when a batch of 100 was shipped to the Republicans. They took part in the defense of Madrid. Some were captured later and saw service with the Nationalist Spanish state. Two brigades (6th and 11th Tank Brigade) were sent in the Far East, on the Sino-Russo-Mongolian border to face Japanese incursions of the time. They proved instrumental at Khalkin Gol, with many BT-7s, proving too fast for the Japanese AT teams and still deadly for any AVFs deployed. However, they proved vulnerable to "close quarter" Japanese teams armed with Molotov cocktails.



Not long after, they were deployed in eastern Poland. They also soldiered during the "Winter War" in Finland, proving ill-adapted for the task with their thin armor. Losses were appalling. Finnish troops used Molotov cocktails as well and quickly found a weak point where the engine was installed, prone to catch fire and explode when hit, as shown in reports. In 1941 there were still hundreds of BT-5s in service despite the type having been replaced by the BT-7. But hundreds were lost or abandoned, worn out, during the summer offensive, liquidating what was left of the model. Only the lack of spare parts prevented the use of surviving vehicles until later in the war.

NORTH AFRICA PROYECT

After four moths of hard work I've almost finished my Deutsche Afrika Korps army to play chain of command.
Never before I has painted nothing quickly than this army. I painted a complete chain of command Zug of Panzer Grenadier plus Support and tanks. (See pictures below).

My first day with Afrikakorps

CHURCHILL Mk VII

I've finished this Churchill heavy tank to reinforced my British Army. This model was made by warlord games. And equipment is from Blackdog resin.
I've discovered this brand  two months ago and I am an absolutely Fan. They have a lot of resin references in three scales. 1/35, 1/48 and 1/72. I bought five reference in 1/48 scale mainly wood boxes, bag, fuel cap, foods and box's drinks.

PANTHER PLATOON

Just a quick post, a few pictures about my Panther platoon and HQ (GE894 Oberstleutnant Dr. Franz Bäke).

I'm not very happy with result. As all well know painting zimmerit it's quite difficult. If you try to get contrast between all panels making wash with browns almost certain is that you get down color-base tone too much. and you mix this with tri-color camo(typical of WF). Result is a miniature too dirty.
