Barclay Caras
Oakdale, Connecticut
Don’t look for a kit of this 1/35 scale Daihatsu landing craft: Barclay scratchbuilt it from styrene and wood. After painting it with Tamiya lacquers and weathering it with artist oils, pigments, pencils, and enamels, he added a Pit-Road Japanese 75mm gun and figures and floated it in a tidal estuary of poured epoxy resin.
Juan Noltenius
Knoxville, Tennessee
Juan painted his out-of-the-box build of Takom’s 1/35 scale M3 Lee with Vallejo acrylics over gray primer and used post-shading to highlight some of the panels. Rust-colored artist oils and dot filters weathered the model, and the paint and pigments added dirt and grime.
Bob Bethea
Austin, Texas
Using stretched sprue, Bob gave a Kirin 1/16 scale German World War I Dragoon a cigarette. He painted the figure with Scale 75 acrylics, applying and blending them like artist oils over automotive primer. The resting cavalryman stands on a road paved with split peas.
Timothy Mattock
Pasadena, Maryland
Based on a photo, Timothy built an Italeri 1/35 scale M52 ambulance as a surplus vehicle used by a pest control company on Okinawa after World War II before ending up in a junkyard on the island. He painted the unique vehicle with Tamiya acrylics over Rust-All enamels with the hairspray technique used to chip the paint.
Brian Campitella
Murrysville, Pennsylvania
Built from the box for an AMPS review, Brian painted his HobbyBoss 1/35 scale Jagdtiger with Vallejo acrylics over Alclad II gray primer and Tamiya NATO Brown pre-shading. To lightly weather the hulking tankhunter, he airbrushed brown along the lower edges of the fenders, applied Pan Pastels in corners and crevices, and added paint chips with dry-brush chipping color.
Stan Phillips
Ashland, Maryland
In 1944, 16 captured French Souma MCG S307 armored halftracks were converted into panzerjagers for the German army by mounting a 7.5cm PaK40 gun in the rear. Stan modified a Brach Model 1/35 scale kit of the unique vehicle with a photo-etched metal treadplate in the fighting compartment, scratchbuilt ammo racks, stowage compartments, and the gun travel lock. He airbrushed the camouflage freehand with AK Interactive Real Color lacquers.
Eric Christianson
Kirkland, Washington
“A fun build” is how Eric describes Trumpeter’s 1/35 scale ASU-85. He assembled the Soviet self-propelled assault gun out of the box and painted it with Tamiya and AK Interactive Real Color lacquers. “I use a technique that involves many layers with upper layers removed to expose lower layers,” he says.
Dana Sadarananda
Camp Hill, Pennsylvania
Dana added Value Gear stowage to Tamiya’s 1/35 scale 17pdr SP Achilles tank destroyer and painted it with custom mixes of Tamiya acrylics over black and white pre-shading. After dark artist oil washes and light dry-brushing, he applied dust, streaks, and rust with a combination of lightly airbrushed paint and pigments.
Shawn Ramsey
Laurens, South Carolina
An oasis provides a welcome respite from the desert heat for a group of Afrika Korps soldiers in Shawn’s 1/35 scale diorama. He converted Tamiya’s Steyr 1500 to carry a Dragon 2cm FlaK 38 with a bed from Leadwarrior. The troops were enlisted from Tamiya and Alpine, and he formed the waterfall using Modge Podge; it flows over rocks cast from Woodland Scenics molds.
Ken Gunlin
Marietta, Georgia
Believe it or not, Ken’s Puma infantry fighting vehicle is a 1/87 scale kit from AresenalM. He added track pads, grab handles, foothold straps, an antenna, a stowage bag, and mudflaps to the 3½-inch-long model and painted it with Model Master enamels.
Tony Higgs
Nashville, Tennessee
Tony dressed up Tamiya’s 1/35 scale M1A2 SEP Abrams TUSK II with antiskid texture added with Krylon texture paint, a turned-metal barrel from R.B., Def.Model’s Abrams update and modern equipment, and AFV Club individual-link tracks. He painted it with Tamiya acrylics over black primer and weathered it with Ammo by Mig Jimenez washes, oil dry-brushing, and Ammo pigments.
Georg Eyerman
Garwood, New Jersey
For his diorama, “Comrade! You’ll scare the fish,” Georg built a Trumpeter BTR-50PK with Friulmodel metal tracks and a glass tubing antenna and crewed it with a MiniArt Soviet tanker outfitted with a Hornet head. For the Crimean waterside scene, he used two layers of insulation foam covered with styrene-sheet concrete and a cut-cork ramp leading into three layers of poured resin water.
Nick Butta
Kingston, New York
Basing his build on photos by a Marine Corps staff sergeant, Nick used a HobbyBoss 1/35 scale AAVP-7A1 RAM/RS to replicate a 3rd AA Battalion vehicle from the 2003 invasion of Iraq. He painted the amphibious craft with AK Interactive Real Color lacquers and weathered it with Ammo by Mig Jimenez Middle East Dust.
Mark Lewis
Silver Spring, Maryland
To convert Hasegawa’s 1/24 scale Jeep into a British Special Air Service patrol vehicle in North Africa during World War II, Mark scratchbuilt the radiator overflow, various jerry-can frames, engine crank hole and retainer, bonnet tie-down ring and chain, machine-gun bases, sand channels and retainers, ammo boxes on the floor, and so much more. Using Testors enamels, he primed the model and followed with layers of steel, olive drab, a mix of equal parts white and middlestone, and the straight middlestone. Rubbing 2000-grit sandpaper over the surface wore through layers to expose the underlying shades for a weathered finish.
Horst Hopf
Sussex, New Jersey
Horst’s additions to a Great Wall Hobby 1/35 scale SWS halftrack with FlaK38 include metal barrels for the guns, metal tracks, a wood floor, rope for hinges, and resin replacement heads for the figures. To finish the antiaircraft vehicle, he airbrushed Tamiya acrylics and lacquers using the hairspray method to erode the winter whitewash.
Michael Del Vecchio
Flemington, New Jersey
Modeling an ammunition vehicle from the U.S. Army’s 4th Battalion, 112 Field Artillery Service Battery, Michael loaded an AFV Club 1/35 scale M548 with AFV Club 8-inch ammunition, miscellaneous bags, and scratchbuilt wooden pallets. He painted it with Vallejo acrylics and weathered it with washes and pigments.
Patrick Brown
Chantilly, Virginia
Having fun, Patrick added weld seams and antennas to a Hasegawa Maschinen Krieger Super Jerry fighting suit. For the winter camouflage, he airbrushed Tamiya acrylics and weathered the model with artist oil washes.
Matthew Toms
Naugatuck, Connecticut
Matthew improved Takom’s 1/35 scale Krupp 21cm mortar by replacing the plastic gun shield with brass sheet and adding Tichy rivets. Using AK Interactive Real Color lacquers, he painted the camouflage with what he calls “subjective masking,” starting with the dots, then the stripes, followed by the main color.
Kip Rudge
Lynchburg, Virginia
Kip’s 1/35 scale M47 represents the French tank used during the 1956 Suez Crisis. His changes to the Takom kit include scratchbuilt grab handles, an infantry rack on the rear, and 3D-printed exhaust pipes. Over lacquer primer, he airbrushed two to three layers of sand camouflage, varying the density of effect.
Chuck Willis
Cleveland, Tennessee
Using an MB Models conversion set and Bison decals, Chuck turned an Academy 1/35 scale Stuart into an M3 Satan flame tank. He painted with Tamiya acrylics over Brite Touch automotive primer. After weathering it with dust pigments on top and mud below, he placed it on a resin base purchased at the 2019 AMPS International Convention that he decorated with Woodland Scenics grass.
Barrie, Ontario, Canada
Stephen’s only addition to Copper State Models’ 1/35 scale Lanchester armored car was replacing the kit wheels with a set of 3D-printed spoked wheels, which were also from Copper State. He painted the gray vehicle with AK Interactive Real Color lacquer using a photo-etched metal splatter stencil to introduce variation in the color.
Richard Marotta
Medford, New York
Hand-brushing Vallejo acrylics exclusively, Richard finished a Stalingrad 1/35 scale figure as a U.S. paratrooper of the 17th Airborne Division during Operation Varsity in March 1945. The soldier occupies Apoxie Sculpt groundwork with static grass foliage.
Robert Burik
Princeton, New Jersey
Civilians look over a knocked-out Russian BMP-3 in Robert’s Ukraine War scene. Since much of it is visible, he superdetailed the interior of a Trumpeter 1/35 scale kit for the vehicle, painted it with AK Interactive acrylics, and weathered it with washes, pinwashes, glazes, and pigments.
Dave Morris
Huron, Ohio
Dave’s Zvezda 1/35 scale M13/40 Italian medium tank started life as a 1973 Italeri tooling, but his only addition was a wire antenna. After priming with Mr. Surfacer 1500, he airbrushed the entire model brown. Thin tape strips masked the brown, producing tiger stripes when he airbrushed the sand color.
Stephen Reid
Glennville, Georgia
“It’s an Ma.K Racoon finished in camouflage for the painted desert in Arizona circa 2800 AD,” Stephen says. He added recessed fasteners and weld beads to the Wave 1/20 scale Maschinen Krieger fighting suit. Then, Stephen hand-painted Tamiya Hull Red and White acrylics, blending them wet-on-wet. All the markings, including the skull, were painted freehand.
Brian Fowler
Tarpon Springs, Florida
Modeling an Israeli M113 from the 1973 Yom Kippur War, Brian added 3D-printed tracks, Eduard photo-etched metal details, and scratchbuilt stowage to an Academy 1/35 scale kit. He painted with Tamiya acrylics and set it on sand and gravel groundwork.
Zachary Grizzle
Jonesborough, Tennessee
Inspired by a series of photos that were taken in Italy in 1944, Zachary combined Thunder Models’ 1/35 scale Case VAI tractor with part of a Dragon SdKfz 7 halftrack on VMS Smart Mud groundwork over foam. Among the 3D-printed additions to the kits are sparkplugs, loader pulleys, crew heaters, a Notek light, and hand tools. He painted with AK Interactive Real Color lacquers and picked out details with Vallejo acrylics.
Chris Graeter
Colchester, Vermont
Chris built a Tamiya 1/35 scale BT-7 out of the box and airbrushed Tamiya acrylics over Tamiya primer to the Soviet World War II tank’s camouflage. The weathering around the running gear is done using a combination of pigments, real dirt, and crushed leaves.
Robert Magina
Plainville, Massachusetts
Robert’s 1/35 scale Staghound Mk.I started as an Italeri kit that was reboxed by Tamiya. He added stowage from his spares box and painted the British armored car with Vallejo acrylics. AK Interactive and Vallejo washes weathered the vehicle and tied it into the groundwork of Vallejo acrylic paste mud, static grass, and leaves punched from real leaves.
Mark Wolf
Rochester, Vermont
Mark replaced the cleaning rods on Trumpeter’s 1/35 scale SU-152 with styrene tubes held in place with photo-etched metal brackets. For character, he omitted a rear fender and strapped a Tamiya Goliath to the engine deck. Layers of paint separated by hairspray faded and eroded the camouflage.
Tim Howell
Livonia, Michigan
Recruiting an Italian L6/40 for German service in the Balkans in 1943, Tim added a camo net and antenna to an Italeri/Tamiya 1/35 scale kit. He painted the diminutive tank with Tamiya acrylics and weathered it with real dirt and AK Interactive washes.
Jeff Feller
Fairfax Station, Virginia
Referring to a photo of a 756th Tank Battalion M4A3 (105) in a rain-flooded field in France in 1944, Jeff sank a Sherman in epoxy resin water. He converted an Asuka 1/35 scale M4A3 to the howitzer-armed tank with the turret from a Tamiya kit, painted it with five shades of olive drab mixed from AK Interactive Real Color lacquers, and surrounded it with converted figures from a variety of manufacturers.
Greg Hanchuk
Berea, Ohio
Depicting Russian forces in Aleppo, Syria, in December 2016, Greg combined a Meng 1/35 scale GAZ Tigr-M infantry mobility vehicle with LiveResin updates and added LiveResin and Paracel figures. The buildings and base are mostly scratchbuilt, including many satellite dishes and the air conditioner; some details came from MiniArt.
Rebecca Abbott
Sumter, South Carolina
Vespid’s 1/72 scale Australian Centurion Mk.5/1 rolls through a Vietnam base of Vallejo acrylic paste soil, various scenic grass products, frayed rope bushes, cypress leaves, and deer lichen that Rebecca built on a block of insulation foam. She assembled the tank out of the box, except for a scratchbuilt wire water-can rack and Value Gear stowage, and painted it with AK Interactive Real Color lacquers.
Christopher Fish
Stanfield, North Carolina
Under all of Christopher’s add-ons lurks a 1/35 scale Asuka M4 Sherman. Based on a photo of a 743rd Tank Battalion tank, he draped Panzer Art resin sandbags over the front and two-part epoxy putty sandbags over the top of the hull. The ammo boxes along the sides, filled with concrete in the real tank, are from Panzer Art in a scratchbuilt styrene strip rack. He painted it with custom-mixed Mr. Color lacquers, with Ammo by Mig Jimenez filters and pigments for dirt, mud, and dust.
Mike McElhaney
Warren, Pennsylvania
Using a Tamiya 1/35 scale M4A3E8, Mike modeled an American tank during a lull in the fighting after the German garrison in Nuremberg surrendered after fierce fighting in April 1945. His extensive modifications to the kit include damaged, removed, or modified fenders and supports, wire in place of plastic handles, photo-etched metal light guards, Value Gear sandbags and stowage, scratchbuilt racks, pot, and ladle, 3D-printed ration crates, and epoxy tarps.
Steve Bacon
New Whiteland, Indiana
Steve dressed up Takom’s 1/35 scale StuG III Ausf G with Master Club individual-link tracks, 7.5cm gun barrel, and stowage. The mantlet and the stowage are covered with VMS Paper Shaper tarps. He painted the German self-propelled gun with Tamiya colors and weathered it with AK Interactive and Ammo by Mig Jimenez products.
Richard Marotta
Medford, New York
To model an Israeli Nagmashot, an APC built on a Centurion tank hull, Richard combined a Kirin conversion set with a Tamiya 1/35 scale Centurion. His other additions include radios in the fighting compartment complete with wiring, water cans and a holder from Elefant, an Accurate Armour Centurion driver’s compartment, and AFV Club road wheels and tracks in place of the kit running gear.
Ian Rozens
Scarsdale, New York
Ian updated Tamiya’s 1/35 scale M113 to an M901 TOW vehicle with a Verlinden conversion set and added Verlinden figures and Value Gear stowage. He airbrushed the camouflage with Vallejo acrylics over primer and pre-shading and then post-shaded with inks and artist oils. Ian broke the end from a section of insulation foam for a damaged roadway, and he detailed it with plaster bricks and styrene strip and rod.
Rick Carlson
Erie, Pennsylvania
Looking at home on its Black Dog base, Rick’s 1/72 scale Israeli Nagmachon is an out-of-the-box build of an Ace kit with added stowage. He painted the model and scene with AK Interactive acrylics and used Ammo by Mig Jimenez dark washes and artist-oil dry-brushing to pop details.
Brian Eberle
Moon Township, Pennsylvania
Brian’s Trumpeter 1/35 scale ASLAV carries Legend stowage and accessories and wears Echelon decals for an Australian vehicle in Iraq in 2003. He painted camouflage with Mission and Tamiya acrylics masking with Panzer Putty.
Scott Dimmick
Howell, New Jersey
During the Battle of Guadalcanal, a pair of Marines pass a disabled Japanese Type 97 tank awash in the surf. Scott added a Fine Molds interior to a Dragon 1/35 scale Type 97 and painted it with AK Interactive 3rd Gen acrylics before encasing it in AK resin water on a foam base. The Marines are Bodi figures with the weapons swapped out for period-correct guns.
Michael Hutchinson
East Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania
Having fun with Gecko’s 1/35 scale LARC-V (Lighter, Amphibious Resupply, Cargo, 5 ton), Michael imagined it field-modified for sentry duty during the Vietnam War. He added bits and bobs from his spares box and scratchbuilt punji stick trap and painted a speculative camo pattern with Tamiya acrylics.
Tabb Tharrington
Richmond, Virginia
AFV Club’s 1/35 scale M113A1 ACAV runs on AFV Club aftermarket individual-link tracks and wears Eduard photo-etched metal details and a Leopard Club antenna courtesy of Tabb. After painting with Vallejo acrylics and weathering, he put the Vietnam War vehicle on a base carved from insulation foam and coated with DAS clay and real dirt, followed by two-part epoxy resin for water. “It depicts an M113 at a base after heavy rains flooded the camp,” he says.
Mark Minnis
St. Andrews, Prince Edward Island, Canada
To model a Canadian army armored car involved with the United Nations peacekeeping operation in Cyprus, Mark upgraded a 1/35 scale Accurate Armour Ferret Mk.I with square hatches and Canadian stowage items. He painted the little vehicle with Tamiya acrylics, post-shading to add fading, and flowed on Ammo by Mig Jimenez washes. It sits on Vallejo acrylic mud groundwork mixed with dust from Mark’s driveway.
Steve Santucci
Rockaway, New Jersey
During World War I, the British Army built armored observation trees to keep an eye on enemy movements across No Man’s Land. Steve combined a Vargas 1/35 scale resin observation tree with Resicast figures and Value Gear sandbags. He added wintery groundwork to hint at the difficult conditions on the Western Front, especially from the weather.
Mark Clabaugh
Stewartstown, Pennsylvania
Looking ready to roll across the battlefields of Normandy, Mark’s Dragon 1/35 scale Sturmpanzer IV mid-production is fitted with Friulmodel metal tracks, a Panzer Art mantlet cover, and Bayardi resin boxes for stowage. He airbrushed the late-war camouflage freehand with Testors Model Master acrylics through an Aztek 470 airbrush.
Jackson Stanton
Manassas, Virginia
To replicate Applejack, a 4th Marine Tank Battalion M4A3 on Iwo Jima, Jackson merged a Tamiya hull, Academy turret, and Tasca (Asuka) running gear. He added 3D-printed spare-track armor and wading stacks and made sandbags from epoxy putty. The striking camouflage was base-coated with olive drab for the armor and wood for the side planks before the camo pattern was airbrushed over a layer of chipping fluid and carefully worn off with a damp brush.
Gerry Gardiner
Conowingo, Maryland
Blue isn’t typically a color you see on armor, but the South Lebanon Army, a militia that operated during the Lebanese Civil War, painted many of its Tiran 5 tanks that way. Gerry built Tamiya’s 1/35 scale Tiran 5 out of the box and finished it with Tamiya acrylics.
Colin Adair
Ottawa, Ontario, Canada
Building a HobbyBoss 1/35 scale V-150 Commando as a “what-if” Canadian army reconnaissance vehicle, Colin added Canadian pattern smoke dispensers and a LiveResin grenade launcher on the turret. He masked with Silly Putty for the attractive winter camouflage and set in on patrol over a frozen cornfield.
Frank “Tank” Blanton
Richmond, Virginia
Putting Tamiya’s 1/35 scale M18 Hellcat in Italy in 1945, Frank added Value Gear stowage and fitted Scale Colors 3D-printed tracks before finishing it with Scale Colors acrylics airbrushed at 12 psi. The bridge is a plaster casting with a split cardboard toilet roll filling the underside over clear RTV silicone.
Ed Ingersoll
Gainesville, Florida
Matching photos of the 1st Armored Amphibian Battalion LVT(A)-4s landing at Okinawa, Ed added styrene as extra armor on the hull and turret, scratchbuilt a floor and bulkheads inside, driveshaft, internal stowage, and ready round pedestal. Other changes include wire mesh on the turret basket, wire grab handles, metal exhausts, Friulmodel tracks, metal machine-gun barrel, and MV Products light lenses. He painted the model with enamels applying three layers of post-shading and light washes.
Stew Langenbeck
Akron, Ohio
Starting with Cyberhobby’s 1/35 scale StuG III Ausf G early, Stew added scratchbuilt stowage and E.T Model schürzen and then placed it before a scratchbuilt hut on the road to Kursk. He hand-painted the self-propelled gun’s camouflage with acrylics after practicing the pattern on scale drawings. His weathering mix is unusual: powder tempera paint, Pan watercolor, white glue, and water.
Chris Green
Sparta, New Jersey
Going back to the origins of the tank, Chris added extensions to the grenade screen atop Takom’s Mark I Female and scratchbuilt a stowage box for the steering tail. The camouflage is hand-painted with Vallejo acrylics over black primer and a gray base coat.
Eric Reinert
Lorton, Virginia
For an Afghan militia T-62, Eric fitted a Trumpeter kit with a Mig Productions turret that featured the additional front armor and extra plating on the glacis. To show it as a well-used tank, he painted rust base coats before the green camo. “This allows you to pick through the green to expose the rust,” he says.
William Herd
Glen Burnie, Maryland
After slightly modifying the pose of an Airfix 1/32 scale Japanese infantryman, William added styrene equipment straps. He hand-painted the charging soldier with Vallejo acrylics using wet-blending for shadows and highlights.
Tom Faith
Elma, New York
LVTs are popular subjects at AMPS, but this is the first time we’ve seen Italeri’s 1/35 scale kit built as a Korean War LVT(A)-4. Tom pulled out all the stops on it, scratchbuilding the interior, fighting compartment wall and hatches, and adding weld seams to the exterior. After painting and weathering, he positioned it on a base covered with model railroad parts, roots, and sweepings from his garage floor to show it on Red Beach during the Inchon landings in 1950.
Brad Blesheim
Avon, Ohio
Vargas Models cover many unusual subjects, including the Matilda I tank, of which only 140 were made, but they saw combat with British forces in France in 1940. Brad added clear headlight lenses to what was otherwise an out-of-the-box build. He painted it with Tamiya acrylics and weathered it with pre- and post-shading, pigments, and artist-oil washes.
Andrew Taylor
Las Cruces, New Mexico
Adding light guards, a metal barrel, and AFV Club tracks to a Testors 1/35 scale M36B1, Andrew built one of the World War II tank destroyers in Croatian service during the Balkan wars in the 1990s. He used Silly Putty to mask while applying Vallejo acrylics for the camouflage.
Sivert Ritchie
Columbia, Maryland
Taking a different spin on the Battle of the Bulge, Sivert’s diorama “Road Hog” shows that the bigger tank wins at chicken every time. He hand-painted the Meng Toon Tank Panther and Sherman with Vallejo acrylics. Grafting Tamiya 1/25 scale figure heads and hands onto Tamiya 1/35 scale bodies kept the deformed proportions going through the scene.
Jerry Hendrickson
Cascade, Wisconsin
After backdating a Das Werk 1/16 scale StuG Ausf G hull to an Ausf E with the engine cover from Das Werk’s Panzer III Ausf J, Jerry scratchbuilt a casemate and stowage box and added a custom, turned-metal barrel to build a big-scale Sturminfantriegeschutz 33. Vallejo acrylics applied over Vallejo spray-can base coats marked it as a vehicle used in the Battle of Stalingrad.
Clayton Angelo
Rostrover, Pennsylvania
Clayton replaced the guns on a Tamiya 1/35 scale Char B1 bis with turned-metal barrels and painted the French tank with Tamiya acrylics. He weathered it with artist oils and pigments to tie it in with the base.
John Harachis
Columbus, Ohio
Using an SP Designs set, John converted a Trumpeter 1/35 scale BMP-1 into a Ukrainian BMP-1TS with a SPYS SYNTEZ combat module. He painted the fighting vehicle with Mission Models acrylics through hand-cut masks and weathered with Ammo by Mig Jimenez washes and pigments.
Matt Prichett
Vineland, New Jersey
This unusual camouflage was applied to a Chinese ZTZ-96B for the 2013 tank biathlon, part of the annual International Army Games. Matt added an Aber metal barrel and Xiangchi tracks to the Meng 1/35 scale kit and painted the tank with AK Interactive Real Color lacquers.
David Blankenship
Tallmadge, Ohio
Turning an Italeri 1/35 scale M7 into a British army Priest in North Africa was fun and rewarding for David. He added sand skirts, stowage rails, interior details, an Academy .50-cal. machine gun, and Value Gear stowage and painted the self-propelled gun with Tamiya and Ammo by Mig Jimenez acrylics.
Joel Rogers
Camp Hill, Pennsylvania
Joel airbrushed his straight-from-the-box build of a Tamiya 1/35 scale Type 97 Chi Hi with Tamiya, AK Interactive, and Mission Models paints after priming it black with white highlights. Pastel washes, mud from his backyard, and pinwashes of AK Interactive enamels weathered the Japanese tank.
Jim McClain
North East, Maryland
To accomplish the digital camo pattern on this Panda 1/35 scale ZTZ-99A, Jim applied a lot of Tamiya masking tape between layers of AK Interactive Chinese People’s Liberation Army colors. Black pinwashes popped details.
T.J. Haller
Purcellville, Virginia
T.J. laid down base coats on Vice 75’s Austro-Hungarian Pioneer on the Isonzo Front in 1917 with an airbrush and then adjusted and refined shades with paintbrushes. He used Vallejo and AK Interactive acrylics on the 75 mm figure.
