Thread: Military Model Gallery

  1. #1

    Default Military Model Gallery

    A little while ago I started a thread asking if anyone did any kind of military modelling and I got a lot of feedback.

    I thought Id start a gallery for the modellers of the org to show their work, so get your camera and show us your models.


    Heres some of my stuff.


























































    And the model room...

    Impressive Panzer. I would have left them in pieces.

    Most Impressive. The tanks are awesome.

    For the model men:
    Just need a bit of dry brushing then inking on the hair so they don't look so glossy. For the ones that still have bases, build up the bases flock them or use sand then paint or base them on small pieces of rocks (flint, granite etc).
    Our genes maybe in the basement but it does not stop us chosing our point of view from the top.

    Have you just been dumped?

    I ask because it's usually something like that which causes outbursts like this, needless to say I dissagree completely.

    I really like the setup of the man painting the cross. It looks so silly (a painted figure painting a model tank) yet so obvious. It is perfect.

    Thanks for the compliments! Your aeroplanes are great Suribachi, ive never been good at planes, especially canopies.

    Yea Pap, I hate doing the figures, but they make the tanks look that much better. Ive thought about developing the bases, but not try brushing on figures.. ill give it a try.

    @ PanzerJager, is one of those tanks by any chance a King Tiger?
    Yea, guess which one. (Same scale )

    Nice work PJ. You get bonus accolades from me for a very creative use of the box artwork/labeling on the display shelves...which on their own are very nice!

    Some nice models there. It makes me want to go and paint my models now. I doubt that my HMS Hood will come out to the standards of your Bismarck, especially since mine is missing a few life boats, an I didn't paint it before putting it together...

    A mouse? Nah, it would be a great springboard for a creative paint design though... all that flat space.

    Those shelves actually look like part of a store. It is that much. Crazy I tell you... CRAZY!

    Btw, wouldn't it have been Panzer VII for the Maus? The Pz VIII would have been the Löwe or the upgraded Maus.

    I believe the proposal for the Lion came first, but was dropped. So the Mouse got the VIII designation as it was proposed after the Lion.
