Schwimmwagen Type 166 Brand: Tamiya  Code: 35224 Model: Schwimmwagen Type 166 Scale: 1/35 Year: 1998 This is the first one, as a model kit fan I should start with one of the first models I build, (and I didnt finish yet, but I have an Idea, you should see it later) Click in the picture to watch it in all his HD Glory

I t all start with a HG Julieta's Mobile Reginlaze Brand: Bandai Code: 0211241 Year: 2016   From the Iconic Japanese Gundam Iron Blooded Orphans show, I fell in love instantly with these grunt units.   Unfortunately, I do not have any photos of the build process, which was kind of messy, I really want to add some process photos in the next posts in here, to make a blog of processes and not focused only in final results. At first, I wanted to do a greener version, like the other grunt unit in the show, the Graze.   Surfing on the internet Soon I decide to take this one as inspiration.   Original in Pixiv from the ar tist © 役立たずのﾆｷｰﾀ M4A3E8 Reginlaze    The result was this model in which I just painted and placed some decals here and there, I did not panel the surfaces. The Beginner category consist in straight out of the box build with minor modifications and paint, decals and panel lining are optional, so in this case I just use the parts provided in the

  Barbatos Gilgamesh   Mechafest was a local model contest for gunpla builders in CDMX Mexico, I was happy because this was my first contest. By that time, I was unaware that I wanted to do a modeling blog… so I did not record any process nor take any more photos. What I can tell you about it is that  I used Testors metalizer Non Buff lacquer paint for the gold finish, Tamiya acrylic paint for the rest of the colors and used Bandai metallic water slide decals that TBH I don’t remember where I got these decals, I know they’re very rare nowadays.   The model itself it is in my girlfriend’s bookshelf. Im gonna build it again just for the fun.

I love tanks, and some AFV's in general, so I dont miss the opportunity to take a photo or two when I see one. Yes! that handsome boy rigth there is me, the other handsome boy in this photo is a Panhard ERC-90 F1 Lynx, an armored vehicle serving in the Mexican Army as backbone of our armored forces with 120/140 units in service. Is there any model? You can build a model kit under the brand of Tiger Model (Tiger Model 4632) launched in 2018 in 1/35 th scale. This photo is ©Tiger Model, you can enjoy the complete set in their FB page: Here I certanly want to build this bad boy, Unfortunately by the time I was writing this, the Tiger Models page seems to be totally down. If I get one, ill make and unboxing and Ill update this entry in that favor. My sincere wishes that the difficult times are over soon and that the Tiger Model guys can continue with their work.

Tamiya 35059 This was my first finished model, by that time I was inspired by the World of Tanks T-34/100 Konštrukta in the Check medium tech tree, this is the inspiration. T-34/100 Konštrukta as it apear in World of Tanks Game The T-34-76 Some german captured equipment Some frontal bounces and damage Real cloth canvas. I hate sponsons, so I totally sand them away, those buckets are truly important to me. love the way that those tracks are seen from the back. more tracks This model came from the old tamiya moulds, there are no internal sponsons and you can see the gap in this picture. Shovels are important too. For the model I used Testors metalizer as a primer (what a madness, you still can see the original metallic color in the road wheels and the bounce scratches) then painted the whole thing with Tamiya olive green spray can, (they are easy to use, practical but expensive) then weathering with Tamiya buff, deck tank and flat black with a lot of X-20 acrylic thinner.
