Since my aviation related build blogs have ground to a screeching halt lately I just want to show that I've been both building and painting other stuff instead.
It all started with a rather bad armour trip:
This is the Tamiya 1/35 M51 Israeli Sherman. A crew and a simple base is under contemplation...
Then there was this figure painting course held by Janne from IPMS Stockholm. Six Sunday afternoons, four hours each time, with homework to do during the weeks. I hardly had time to go to work :-) !
This is Hans-Helmut, the Gerbirgsjäger, of whom I am particularly proud :-) ! Or at least was until I saw him in this magnification where he looks distinctly cartoonish... Not as impossible as I thought beforehand and tremendously fun!
Finally a set of very tiny French FT 17 tanks I picked up at Moson in April that I couldn't resist starting either... Planning on doing some simple base for them and I also did get a few 1/72 WWI figures, one of which can be seen squatting on the rear deck of the near tank.
I had the opportunity to try some new things here: doing stowage and tarps for instance! I like the tarp on the near one while the stowage on the one in the background looks as if the crew have managed to loot two sacks of potatoes. Well, practice makes perfect I suppose!
