Looks pretty nice!

Robert Podkoński
Great job, Robin! I have the same kit in my stash.

Robin (WhiteGlint)
I started with construction of the hull and its legs. It's a snap kit like the Apocalypse Tank so I imagine it will be a rather relaxing build.
I do not have the right batteries at home so I cannot test the lighting kit yet. There's also a sound module, a little speaker that plays sound of the unit from Red Alert 2. 😄
While I don't really need that I will still see if I can install it.

The kit also features movable single link tracks, and I hope this will be a relaxing and not tedious step. First time I build a model with such tracks.

Wow! I'm glad Border decided to release this - the Red Alert Trilogy was one of my favorite RTS games.

Looks like they also have another present for us - if the crowdfunding goes through - Agent Tanya and GI resin figures (Border Model , 1:35)

Are you adding the lights yourself? Or is there an add-on module for that with the sounds?

Robin (WhiteGlint)
Hey Torsten and CaptGPF, welcome!
The kit already comes with a LED kit ,as well as the sound module. Both are already in the box, so I don't need to buy anything but I didn't quite figure out yet how to install both without breaking something. Especially the placement of the magnetic switch, the manual is not very clear on that to me, so I'll have to do some testing.

Resin figures sounds interesting. Thanks for the heads up!

Really cool!

Great work so far, lovely paintjob! Looks very very Metal Gear Rex like with that camo. 😄

For this figure of Black Swan, I am going to use the airbrush for a lot of painting steps, as her clothes and even her hair work with a lot of gradients.
Gradients seem so easy in theory but I guess I'll need a while to do the process right.

Now with other paint applied her skin tone doesn't seem right anymore, and I need to lighten it up again. Probably after I am done airbrushing. Layers of careful glazing should hopefully do the trick.

Watching with interest

Dash Rendar
Nice little base!

Michael Papay
Nice... I have the action figure from kotobukiya, bought it 20 years ago. At first I thought your figure is one of them. But when there are 3D files I might build a second one like yours.

Robin (WhiteGlint)
Thanks Michael! Managed to work a bit more on the base. I think it's almost done, though I'd like to add some empty ammo cases to the base.
Creating the sign was not so easy, especially given that I cannot read the language so I tried my best at kanji. I tried to recreate one of the signs that were visible in the movie.
It should read something like: "Dissolve the diet. Disband the secret police/special forces."

CaptGPF
Agree with everyone - love the mashup, the weathered digital camo is very well executed!

Robin (WhiteGlint)
Thanks a lot Markus and CaptGPF.
Here too progress is slow. I am currently trying to make some tarps to give this diorama a bit more character but it's not working out nicely yet.
This needs more experimentation. In addition I was searching for more stuff to add. Maybe oil drums and other stuff. I am also considering figures.

CaptGPF
My wife and I loved this show! I'm glad to see you tackling this piece and am watching with bated breath!

Robin (WhiteGlint)
Happy to you have guys on board. 🙂
She's pretty much done but I still have a bit of work to do on the wooden base. I hope I can share the final images some day soon.

Robin (WhiteGlint)
Thanks for tuning in, everyone. I hope I can do Fire Keeper justice. Dark Souls 3 was a great game and I enjoyed it a lot.
I am almost done with two other figure projects and might be able to focus on her next. While I already primed all parts I realized that more clean up is necessary. There are still remains from the supports on some parts that require my attention.

Marius
Following! I loved the Dark Souls series!

Robin (WhiteGlint)
Welcome Neil!

Made a little bit of progress. I applied the first decals and stencils and I have quite some more to go.
I also found my R-60 missile set and I hope to work on it soon to have them assembled and painted before I apply the next clear coats to seal in the decals.

Robin (WhiteGlint)
Added some streaking as next step of weathering. I don't want to overdo it so I hope it not too dirty.
After everything has dried again I will apply more varnish to protect it all.

I found the Eduard R-60 and tried to assembly them but, as expected, I failed. Some of the resin fins fell to the ground and disappeared, which really sucks.
I kept the launch rails but will order a set of 3d printed R-60 from Reskit. From how the instuctions look like I only need to glue the seeker head onto the missile while all fins are already attached.

My last try to get some R-60 for this project. If I fail again, I will probably keep the MiG without any missiles and pylons.

Dash Rendar
NIce, looking good so far! Keep it up!

Robin (WhiteGlint)
And done! Should have spend a bit more time for a better clean up but it turned out quite okay.
There was a big drain hole in the front of one leg and I tried to fill it somehow but I suck at sculpting.

John
Awesome kitbashing skills! 👍

Curatorm
that's a smart model 🙂

Simon Nagorsnik
Hope to see soon some results here 😉

Robin (WhiteGlint)
A little gift for my Baldur's Gate 3 player group. As we all love the owlbear cub so much I decided to gift both other players a little diorama each. This was a fun little project I did in just two days. You can count a third day for the printing/cleaning process but that is not me really doing anything.

I learned a lot of things with this project and had a real blast. The fit of the final version somehow is not perfect and I do have a few gaps though but all in all I am happy with the result. About this fit issues there probably are a few more things I can learn. Except for the first layer of grey on the ruins (walls and floor) everything is painted with a brush or a sponge. The wooden things like the kegs were completly drybrushed and I added details like the metal colour later with a brush.

Next year I should work on a third one for myself 😄

Now where is Scratch?

Robin (WhiteGlint)
Thank you Roland 🙂

Simon Nagorsnik
LOL!
Like this one very much 😁
Great idea and paint job mate!!

Ingo F
Looks great! I also have the figure. But not yet printed. 😄

Torsten
The painting is very good, but the eye-catcher is the base with the crystals 😎

Robin (WhiteGlint)
Thanks a lot mates! Much appreciated ❤️️

Robin (WhiteGlint)
Haha, great! Thanks for posting. I think I will get one, as well as the Harkonnen one.

Villiers de Vos
Very nice work.

Rui S
An eye catcher 👍
