Finished this one just in time for this years C4-Open. It’s Trumpeters 1/35 Ural 4320 with some resin wheels and a scratch built load. This model won the Swedish Nationals in Scale Modeling for the “Military Vehicles” Category. READ MORE

I visited Euromilitaire for the first time this year. Great show and as usual it was great meeting new people and old friends.
I also recieved a couple of medals for my models and with my ISU-152 bringing home a gold medal.
Ready for primer is this beast from Meng. The Char 2C, also known as FCM 2C, is a French super-heavy tank developed, although never deployed, during World War I. It was, in physical dimensions, the largest operational tank ever made. READ MORE
I had the privilege to work together with several great scale modelers for Canforas upcoming title “British Steel”. Looking to be a great book in the series “On Display” . Visit Canfora.se to check it out and order your copy. Here are a couple of shots of my build for the title: READ MORE
Finished this one in the middle of the night just before C4-Open in Malmoe, Sweden. I managed to shrink the vinyl tracks with a hair drier while drying the weathering pigments. So I had no choice but to throw together some link by link tracks from AFV-Club I had lying around. That was fun… 🙂
Weathered extensively with AK-Interactive stuff and the snow is Tamiya Powdered Snow. For a final effect I painted on a lot of AK-Interactives wet effect for creating that slouchy and icy appearance.
I know that the pictures might look a bit hard, but I actually decreased the contrast a lot to make it more life like. So the contrast under the right lightning is quite extreme on this model 🙂
Also notice how the tank is front heavy!
Hope you like it!
Update on my Jumbo. I belive the oils are done for now and time to move on to earth weathering with pigments and enamels. And after this, snow!
I started of with quite a bad shade of green but managed to get a more Olive Drab feel to it with lots and lots of oils and filters. Now I only need to paint a couple of more things before the decals will be applied.
Finally! The model is complete. I guess it turned out ok and as always I learned a lot to say the least.
Even tough I decided not to create a base for this model. I had some kits from Miniart laying around so on pure impulse this base just happened. I think it came out quite cool with the dirt and wet effects. Just have to finish up the tank now and this model is done!
This model is finally coming to an end. It has given me some unreal bad luck and hardships to cope with. So i’m glad I’m finally through it. The tracks are still left and I have ordered metal tracks from Friulmodel instead of the plastic ones loosly fitted on now. In Sweden the number 13 is for BAD LUCK so it rightfully received them on the turret. I find it really hard to righteously recreating the model on images but will try to take better pictures once the new tracks are fitted.
