TAM 1/35 T-34/85 By Jian Wei....WIP



Jian Wei has constructed a Tamiya 1/35 T-34/85 and painted the tank with gunze Russian Green. Highlight was applied. Decals were applied on glossed surface. When dried, anther coat of gloss was sprayed on to seal the decals and prevent silvering.
The next stage will be to give it a general oil wash or raw umber followed by dry brushing. More to come.

How to make an interesting PAPER WEIGHT




Thinking of a new way to display that old model kit....build it and give it a nice coat of SILVER, BRONZE er even GOLD. Add weights if you need to. The result above is a nice 1/700 old Tamiya Japanese destroyer paper weight that is fit enough to adorn the top on your desk or shelf.
