My photo
Being a modeller for quite a few years now, I decided to explore the endless possibilities that the world (through internet) offers, and come up with a series of ways of building, modelling and painting fast (but not hastily), to create the worlds I was seeing in history books since I was little. . .If you care to join me. . . This is the place to be! And, I promise you to find the way (or ways)!!

Hiding in the woods. . .

Good day everyone!

Yesterday evening I had finished painting Italeri's Zis 3 AT Gun with crew . This kit consists 2 guns (Zis 3) and 12 figures.
In this post I am showing you only one gun with its crew.
The level of sculpting is on Italeri's standards, which is one of the best in the market. A great product, in an appealing price (8 euro)!

Zis 3 was a Soviet 76.2 divisional field gun used during WW II.

I hope you like it!!

WIP HO Faller Church

Good day everyone!

After struggling to build this magnificent kit (HO #130490) from Faller (many pieces I must admit), I am uploading today a photo of what I have done so far!

I also bought some stone walls from Busch Models (HO #6014)that are appropriate for enclosing the church in a right manner.

Now I have to but some gravestones (Hornby may be the case) to put them (I can become very morbid if I want to sometimes) in the backyard of the church.

The photo may be a little blur (taken from my mobile phone), so please stick to the essence of the church and not in the pixels showing it! :-)

Hope you like it!

Faller Church

Good day to everyone!

Before continuing on my post, I would like to apologize for the current status of my blog. It seems that I have exceeded my Bandwidth margin, but it will be ''relieved'' again on the 18th of September.
So please stay calm and carry on!! :-)

I am writing today, in order to tell you that I received yesterday the Faller church I was mentioning in an earlier post. Hooray!!!
However, I have stuck in what colours I should use in order to make it realistic as possible, and blend it successfully with my other terrain pieces for my Normandy Project.

I have decided to paint the slates of the roof in Grey, with successive highlights of the same colour, but I don't know what colours to use for the building. I don't want to use grey in this part of the building too!

Could you please help me out???

Thank you all!
