Another masterpiece coming up 🙂 What is that brown stuff used or texturizing?

Simon Nagorsnik
Thx S M🙂
For the texture I used a mixture of Mr.Hobby aqueous surfacer 500 and dry pigments.
The texture can be adjusted with the degree of dilution or after a short drying time, treated with a bristle brush.

Dave Flitton
Nice!

Peter de Bruin

I zoomed in on the pics its impressive

Looking good Simon. The cast texture looks great which wouldn't have been easy in 1/72. I also like that shade of olive drab. 👍

Ben M
I love this build

Villiers de Vos
Very nice modulation.

Finn
Amazing as allways

Simon Nagorsnik
Thanks mates and you're all welcome here😁

Neil Patrick
Great work as always Simon. Zimmerit indeed! Very funny! 🙂

Djordje Nikolic
How did you get cake icing to stay so flat on the edges? 😉 I really look forward to the completed base, I think the model will "pop" knowing your work

Oleg Smilyk
Great work !!!

Simon Nagorsnik
Thanks Neil, Djordje and Oleg for your comments!
@Djordje: This is still the basic layer of air-drying modelling clay.
After curing, I glued on plastic side panels and smoothed the edges.
I don't know how this works in the patisserie, but in my case it worked for me 😁

Tom B.
Very nice progress so far! Currently building up a base with air drying clay also, but unfortunately, mine has somewhat gone bad and I always have to reinforce using pva... anyway, those plastic sides do look slick 👍

Marius
Great result! Love the shading and the casting texture!

Simon Nagorsnik
@TOM: Thanks!
I only use thin layers of the clay.
First I adjust the base (rigid foam) roughly by cutting and sanding and then the clay comes over it and the exactly shape gets sculpted.
For the finish i use acrylic paste or fine sands etc.

@Marius: Tanks too!
At the beginning it still looks a bit rough but that gets better with the following layers of paint.

However, most of the shading disappears under the weathering...;)

Rui S
Well done as always 👍

Zsolt Czegle
Awesome as always.... 👍

Daniel Klink
Without knowing the authors name immediately knew it by regarding the pic.
A real Simon.... Fabulous 👍

James C
Fantastic Simon. I love the base as well. Simple but effective! 👍

Simon Nagorsnik
Cheers Rui, Zsolt, Daniel and James!
Thank you for stopping by and watching 😁
And also thanks to everyone who gave me a thumb up!
@Daniel: I'm watching your Wellington too!

Ich schließe mich meinen Vorrednern in vollem Umfang an.

Kim Branders
Impressie Simon.... everything is perfect.

Michael Kohl
Another nice gem from your workbench.

Simon Nagorsnik
Thanks a lot mates! 😄😆

I really like the M3, as it's the missing link between WW1 tank-like machines and the first modern-ish tanks from WW2.
Nice build !!

Robin (WhiteGlint)
Oh, very good one! 👍
Love that nice little base as well.
