War goes on vl.2

 Zvezda hanomag  251/B. Nice model but I don't care for this version really so when I will get more of them I will have to convert them to later C version (and get some PSC ones because this is a little annoying, IMHO Zvezda missed some opportunities with those artificially old versions of everything for their 1941 WW Game. Some models are usable and grea but T34 mod 1940 is hardlyy seen anymore after first few months of war and Hanomag A nad B were the first 500 from around 15000 built, and obsolete in 1941 for almost a year already..). Its somewhat masked by few extras Ive added though. Mg34 shield needs replacement unfortunately as I don't like her.





As a bonus almost finished Zvezda Sdkfz 222 - thats model i can recommend to anyone. Its one of their best (but need patient and concentration in building. If you do it right its perfectly fitted, if you made mistake or not clean parts appropriately it will be like Frankensteins monster... And you have probably one chance to do it as some parts are very delicate and filigree..
Overall beautiful model that could be better painted in this example.

PSC Tiger I (with added zimmerit) painted




Few months ago Ive started to work on PSC Tiger Tanks. I did wanted to try my luck with Zimmerit. First round tank was made with Zimmerit from Liquid green stuff. Well Lest say its bad approach. I do not recommend it. I started to work on second one so I will post soon. But no Its first one painted. Zimmerite is note very visible and it melted somehow so its not very prominent either. You know its here but its hardly visible as intended.













Due to chosen camo color (502 SpA from late 1944) chipped off zimmerit in base color (red brown for German tank - applied in production) was not visible, so after Fromhold advice its in raw paste color for contrast, lets assume they are fresh chippings.


Here is unpainted shot

Exarch * Egzarcha

Eldar were my first love in miniature wargaming.
When I saw those fabulous Jes Goodwin original Aspect warriors in WD 127 I fell in Love with them instantly.
I played them a lot in 2nd edition and for some time in 3rd, but I was disappointed and bored by Gav Thorpe 3rd ed Eldar Codex. It lacked spark It had in the past, and new models that replaced Goodwins originals were of inferior quality (with exception of Banshees).
I switched to their evil kin and played Dark Eldar till i lost interest in 40K.  Ive never had endurance nor patience ( nor money) to paint lot of them, and my painting was much less rafined, so I did not have mases of models from 2nd edition but It used very small armies by today standards. Now I had not really played any 40k for many years but I buy a Eldar model from time too time (mostly older stuff bu I quite like modern Aspect warriors too).
Most of the time they do not put a spell on me like old Jes Goodwin models but I really like some of them.

This is Dire Avenger Exarch Ive bought cheaply (and sprayed blue). I wanted to try few glazing techniques and two days later here he is. My first fully painted Eldar model since 2000 :) I like the effect although I will probably add some little runes to empty spaces on his galaxy banner and some snow to his base. Overall I am really happy with his color scheme (it looks better in real life) and with some variation is easily maintained so I started to repaint and finish my guardians and Farseer..

 


Ive added dark (bad lighted) pic  because its cool :)
