Currently the best pictures I am able to do.

Italian job

Base working for Sherman. Situated somewhere in Italy.

Sherman

This project is old debt for my sister. Long time ago I have destroyed Revell 1/72 Sherman from childish reason (just a stupid). This Christmas gift is something bigger as usual I made. We will see what can I do in 1/48 scale. Construction was made before Mathew born. Now some progress.

Curly Ann back in game

Now, I knew that water will be challenge always in future. Finally some progress after using 2K resin water from Noch. Next time weapons and details.

Emergency situation protocol

1. Never use remaltable Solid water by Deluxe Materials for complex water casting if you want hard water.
2. Never take steel pot after 30s heating in microwave with fingers
3. Never try to repair the casting in microwave when you used plastic borders
4. Ever use oil to prevent sticking plastic to your painted wooden base
5. Stay focused when casting at every situation including your baby scouting mission bellow your chair
6. Ever listen advices more experienced painters
7. Relax every damage can be repaired
8. Read in future when you try it again

Curly Ann progres

Unexpented motivation came at our family holiday. Since than I painted almost whole base. My skills are limited and I can not achieve better results in contrast.

Curly Ann concept

Spring is gone and weather is crazy from snow to the tropical heats. My upcoming project is from sunny Caribbean pirate’s ages - Curly Ann from Freeboter miniatures. Base should represent old mole over the coral reef. I am afraid of water effect since my last fail, but in black and white its look awesome.

Vegetation is mix from sea moss, turf, CA reefs, Vallejo pumice, small shells from Tenerife black sand and sea stars sculpted from greenstuff.

Credits go to my wife for her advices over the concept. Its amazing how she is looking after our son and her patience for my hobby.
