Smoke at the flame thrower, sand dust in each corner.
Looking forward for the LEGIONNAIRE crew.

Seeing this WWII Tank makes me want to try picking up my brush again. It is stunning fine work Santi. BB

[Beano Boy]

Opps I forgot to add,so I will do it now.



This Churchill Variant Santi, painted fired a massive Bunker Busting 290mm calibre mortar.

They were all brave men loading and driving with that thing in front. BB

Fantastic! Everything is perfect. Lacquer damage, soot, rust, dust, etc. Everything is completely realistic. A masterpiece! Congratulations

[Kekso]

Spanish art school. Congratulations Santi

[Graeme]

It looks so real I expect the stand to collapse under the weight. You do this so well.

[despertaferro]

I’m always amazed by how you can turn these small vehicles on something that looks near to the real thing…

You’re painting skills are almost magic to me

[MABO]

There is nothing more to say! Wonderful Santi!

I see this post several times and again, and everitime I find something new and amazing.
Stuning work in weatering, dirting and the "chiping" is...tre-men-dous!!!
Great, great job Santi.

[Carlos]

Santi, didi you used the salt techinque for the chipping?

Santi, didi you used the salt techinque for the chipping?

I have not used the lacquer technique, only sponge for the chips and several different washes of oils.
I am very happy the words to my work.
Santi.

Hello Santi,

fine work . I like the weathering
Question, are you sure that the inside of the hatches are white?

I'm not sure but I think they painted the interior in light colors to satisfy the lack of light and space.

A very beautiful Churchill, Santi! To my taste the dust is a bit too heavy, but on the other hand the chipping is marvellous and the metal shine on the worn edges is excellent, and the rust too! Great weathering!

Which brand of Churchill kit is this?

Indeed the inside of British tanks was in a light colour: silver in the beginning of the war and gloss white later in the war. But the inside of the hatches however was in the outside camouflage colour for camouflage reasons.

By the way, the 290mm grenade fired by this mastodont was nicknamed 'the flying dustbin'.

[santifernandez]

Sorry huib for not Answer before, the kit is dragon but has some faults in the chains and exhaust pipes.
Santi.
