Doing major painting. The odd looking patterns (?) on the paint are because im using vallejo model air colour so its really thin. But im gonna add multiple layers over time so dont worry.

Ooooh it is, either im gonna fuck up real bad or make a meh dio. Either way its gonna look like the skies of Berlin during mid 1945, a spectacular firework show of destruction and 88 Flak

Alright so i dont usually make comments to update people on progress but i cant be bothered to fight with my browser right now

So i got my fathers military notebook/guide and now i can place the troops more realistically, yay.
Got the 50€ from my grandfather so thats a win. Gonna go to the model store the first chance i get on monday.
Also busted my knee because i drove into a telephone pole whilst going like 20 km/h on my bike because some random woman saw and stepped where i was riding, so that might limit how fast i can make the dio.

Hope your knee gets better soon. The good news is that in the meantime you can rest your knee by doing more modelling. 🙂

Broken arm? Scale modelling. Fractured ankle? Scale modelling. Asthma? Scale modelling. Cataracts? Scale modelling.
Your truly a genius mate 😂
Also, thanks

Nice progress Kesa.
If you can it would probably be better to avoid Vallejo model air as it's intended for airbrushes as far as I know. I think it's 'Vallejo Model Color' which is for brush painting.

Model air is for airbrushes but I bought it since only model air had the right tone of Russian green I needed for my T-90A turret bunker. And since I didn't have enough of any other green I decided to use this. Plus it looks close enough.

The snow looks good.

Is it a coincidence that you are doing a winter scene as the winter holidays near? It's looking good so far. I love the imagination that went into this one. I hope your knee heals well; that sounds painful.

Jennifer: It is a bit of a coincidence, but also since i mainly think of Kohtla-Nõmme in a winter scene since I've spent most of my time there during winter and because im just sick of making grass. As for the imagination, there wasn't much, since i took the idea from another build i saw on here. I only added troops and a place ive known for 12 years.

gorby: probably because I used pre made snow, along with some brush cleaning water which gives it a subtle dirty look.
