Simon NagorsnikThx and welcome mates!
@Robert: I don't know what you've seen of my last "achievements";)
The first two were Ukrainian themes.
1st: green with reddish brown/black stripes
2nd: 4-tonal digital camo
I just didn't like the first one anymore when I saw it on the model - therefore: new!
Unfortunately, I worked too inaccurately on the second one - so: new!
Then I decided on a different scheme that I like - and it works! 🥳

Chan LiI think I have seen the other two, for me they were perfect enough… for some reason I recall a saying: science is about trials and errors.
I hope you find your science on this trial😎

Simon NagorsnikThank you for your encouraging words Chan!
I couldn't be satisfied with my performance with the other two.
These were not "completely bad" These were not "very bad", but there were discrepancies that I could not accept, but now it goes better!

Simon NagorsnikThanks mates!
But in the next time there will be only rather slow progress...

Robin (WhiteGlint)Stellar work, Simon 👍
This will be another great piece once the dio is done. 🙂

Simon NagorsnikThx Robin and Lukasz!
And for sure, the S-Modrl kits are great!
Whenever it's possible, I try to get one!

Neil PatrickLooking forward to seeing this finished Simon. I'm sure it will be another masterpiece.

Chan LiHaha, dude, I'm actually building a 72 scale vehicle (for fun), every time I browse your albums I get to pick up something useful.

Simon NagorsnikThank you for your support Neil and Finn!
You're too kind Chan🙂 But I can tell you that I'm really looking forward to your '72 vehcle!
Will surely be a nice surprise 😉
Currently I'm working a bit on the figures.
Trying to paint russian VSR camo uniforms is a hard piece of work.
I think I need to use an alternative technic for the pattern.....

Robin (WhiteGlint)Simon, how did you create the Russian flag?
And did you paint it before you gave it its uuuh... I don't know how to say it, waving appearance or afterwards?

Simon NagorsnikRobin: For the flag I used a post-it sheet.
First I paint one side in white, then i applied the stripes.
Applied white glue on the rearside and folded it around the antenna.
I used two tweezers to form the waves before the glue was dry.
Finally, I corret the colors a bit, where it was necessary.
When everything was ready, I mount it on the vehicle.
I hope this can help you🙂

Robin (WhiteGlint)That helps very much, Simon. Thanks. 🙂
I was wondering for some time how to make a flag.
9 June 2022, 17:21
Simon NagorsnikThe disadvantage of post-it's is that the flag is a bit to thick.
Next time I'll use gum packaging or masking tape.

Simon NagorsnikAfter three new attempts with the vehicle and numerous new attempts with the figures- and a bottle of paint remover later- It's done😁!!

Djordje NikolicI also somehow missed this! Wow, again such detail in 1/72! Bravo!

Simon NagorsnikThanks Zsolt, Chan and Djordje!
I'm always happy about such good comments from such talented model builders😁
Chan: I tried to stick to my reference as much as possible.
I think the Russian intervention in South Ossetia was in August.

Michael KohlI like it very much. Great figure placement and painting. The way you treated the camo. Just nice from every angle and aspect.

Simon NagorsnikThanks a lot Michael for your comment! I`m glad when you like it!
Chan: know what you mean, I am in the same position 😁

Simon NagorsnikThanks Mate!
72 is my favourite scale and I always try to make the best of it - if I can do it 😅
With every project I try to learn something new.

LCDo you have any tips or guidance on painting the figures? They amount of detail you got into them look stunning!
21 July 2023, 21:34
Simon Nagorsnik@LC76: Thanks mate!
When painting figures, in my opinion, experience, only practice makes you getting perfect;).
A simple progress would be to paint on the basic tone, then a first lightening of the base paint to make wrinkles, pockets more visible and final accent highlights to emphasize the most important details.
The base color should serve as a shadow, the first lightening as the actual shade.
A second lightening between the first and the strongest highlights is quite advisable to get a smoother gradation of color.
A thin acrylic filter can also help with this.
It is important to outline all details with a dark color (like dark brown, dark green, etc) to achieve clear demarcations of the details.
A very good help is this:
