German Char B1, Eastern front -final-

Hi guys,

I call this one complete. Years ago I tried to put some paint on 1:35 faces and quickly decided that I stick to vehicles :) But every time I worked on a model I thought something is missing. Now I'm happy that I pushed my boundaries and hopefully I find some time to work on my figures skills during the next months.
Here the final pictures,
hope you like it!








Cheers
Manuel

German Char B1, Eastern front - Part 03-

Hi all!

Life is busy, but I also found time to play around with my airbrush.
Find below some in progress pictures of my Char. My goal is to finish this baby within the next weeks. There are still some things to do, I’m not fully satisfied with the rust on the exhausts and the weathering of the turret and upper hull still needs some tweaks.







Hope you like it,
Manuel

German Char B1, Eastern front - Part 02-

Hi guys!

Before I will leave for a 2 week trip to France (a visit in Samur is also planed) I want to show you some progress.

As I’m a lazy guy and endless chipping is not my cup of tea I used the HS technique to speed up things.
The whitewash will cover almost all the work anyway ;)


First a layer of dark brown to represent steel:


Some HS was applied- thanks to my girlfriend…


I mixed a cold and dark grey as base color:



Some light chipping, decals and a new layer of HS:


Followed by Tamiya White and some light scrubbing with an old brush:


Looks quite boring now, but this was just the beginning....
Now it's time for the part I like most,

Hope you like it!

Cheers

German Char B1, Eastern front - Part 01-

Hi all!

When I came across a unique and cool looking picture of a whitwashed German B1 fighting on the eastern front I knew I had to build it!

I've used the Lion Roar set and some scratch build items to create the look this beasts had during the eastern campaign.
Should be fun to play around with hairspray on all that flat panels.


But, now back to my KV-1!
Hope you like it,

Manuel
