KMK Mol 2013 Belgium

Last weekend we traveled to Mol Belgium to visit the KMK show. This show is known for the high level models on the table and his specials guests. This year Mike Rinaldi and Adam Wilder gave some cool demo's that were very interesting to follow.

Next to the traders from across Europe to sell there modeling stuff all sorts of modeling clubs were present to show their skills and artworks.

" Best of Show" Volker Bembennek

Mike Rinaldi explains his oil paint rendering technique and it was sure interesting to see and hear what he means with his books. It was nice to here him explain in a relax way what he wants to achieve with his technique.

Thnx Mike for your enthusiastic way for giving the demo's was sure helpfull. When you get a change to find Mike do a demo.. grab it ;)

And some other nice stuff..

Bastogne.. Jumbo!

Quite but... last months the mojo was a bit gone.. others things and finaly some nice weather over here makes me put modeling on hold. But there's still some unfinished projects like this Jumbo made by a modeling friend of mine. He build this Tasca Jumbo and i do the painting and weathering. This is the first Allied project and there is a lot to learn for a Axis builder like me.

I think such projects are refreshing but dont want to change Axis builds :) It is a nice project to get the feeling back do, soon more update's so stay tuned ;)

Jagdpanzer Ardennes

Well the ferns grow fast this time of year ;)

I studied a lot of Ardennes winter pics and came across some beautyful pics of "green zones" with green bushes and plants in the middle of a lot of snow. These green zones is what i had in mind making this dio were the white snow and dark green ferns makes it very colorful.

Next step is some washes and a bit more vergetation

Jagdpanzer Ardennes

Things are moving slowly ( as usual..) some more vegetation is added and i placed a order at reality in scale to create that typical ardennes feeling. All pics are WIP, more detailing amd painting on there way ;)

Thnx for tuning in!

Hi folks,

As promised a update on the JP dio, the JP is stucked in the mud during the Ardennes offensive near the road.  As you can see 2 figures are added in the mock up and  two more to come in the JP.

So next thing is painting the figures, finish the tree and hill in the background with some vegetation.

Thanks for dropping by and till next time!

And as promised another pic, this one is the other side and the front of the diorama. As you can see i only made the ground work close to the JP. It isn't finished yet, still got a lot to do before i can intergrate it in the rest of the dio.

Stay tuned for more updates on this one..
