All things weapons and military in models.>inb4 /toy/They are not into accuracy, or those cool certified 18" hand sewn BDU *dolls*. I think the average kommando's autism overcomes the glue addiction long enought to assemble and paint something. Fucking /toy/ never takes a tannerite loving to their shit either. Gay.I never see model military railroads at shows.It's been years since I've seen a miniature battle scene not to do with Warhammer.Tell me about your favorite shit ass GI Joe knock off from the dollar store (80s kids I know we didn't have that).Board games with nice figurines?FUCKING drones? (To tell you the truth I always wanted to see a historic model RC bomber competition)Whatchu got?
Doing a parachute drop? Wtf, I'd speg so hard my boner would launch on Moscow.
file nameFuck I'd spend an hour there.
Water seems near fucking michaelangelo level art, I've never done any acrylic pouring.
>>65124622No need to get defensive friend, we're probably in a decent enough mood to entertain you.
>>65124642I just want to emphasize the topic. Just like cooking, I think /k/ kicks other board's ass in cool miniature shit.My autism. It's my kid's design and my job to figure out how, I get a small FOB as payment.
>>65124642Does the museum have a whole ass miniatures line?Also, naval shit is rad.
Battle damage is art.
IJN I-56 vs USS Fletcher
I wish my hands didn't shake too badly to assemble and paint minis. It looks really cool.
I miss the Airfix 1:72 HUMVEE. It was my favourite model as a kid, but now I'm an adult with enough money for a fleet of them they're considered vintage.Now that I'm done whining, anybody got some opinions on Team Yankee?
>>65124665Mine used to, I drank for decades. 2 years dry and it's fairly steady.
>>65124670Almost 4 years sober and they still go full on Michael J Fox trying to do detailed work. The 4 concussions have permanently fucked my fine motor control.
I wonder if anyone ever did tanks on slot tracks to like deploy a formation into engaging. So you'd like flip a switch for the opening salvo of Kursk or something... get 20-30 seconds of motion.>>65124671We should be in the same boat, I played hockey before all the safety shit. Thankfully not so bad.If you're into this there is still pre-fab and 3d printing.
FUCKIN SHITS!
McLovin it.
https://atomscales.com/bunch of cool shit... mind blowing work.
I’m finishing up this guy now, just needs the tracks to wrap it up :)
>>65124665Practice, and spending money on good paints and tools fren.Also you brace your hands on each other, and your wrists or elbows on something stable.
>>65125637That doesnt look very mini
>>65125685It it when compared to the real one
>>65125637fuckin awesome, the details are legit, I love the welds and the paint imperfections. Where will it be displayed?
>>65124622Not sure why we would be mad about this? In many ways there is good discussion to be had as they are not only a good way to visualise things but also even act as a training tool?
>>65126296I have a couple display rooms, this is the main one
>>65126742I think so. Or do a photo set that shows progression of events. Idk I honestly expected "/toy/ and go die". I think we're way more detail oriented.Man I saw a sub one in acrylic mid-depth charge, it was amazing.>>65126877Killer, just history models or gaming too?
>>65127500nah I don't do gaming, or fantasy. I just like building tanks, artillery...etc. I do work on hypothetical / prototype tanks from time to time though
>>65127533
>>65127533I'm really fascinated with the notion of a cuckoo clock mechanism battlefeild. Something that is like Battle of the bulge but also the Game of Thrones intro. You could even put projectiles on wires.
>>65127549An American hull sytem based TD like a Jagdpanther... now that would be interesting.
>>65127500Many a warship has started its life out as a scale model, and models have been used in planning and war-gaming since the times of Peter the Great.
>>65127655Yeah the jagdpatton was too cool for this lame earth
>>65124637Water is very hard to represent accurately with drawing/painting
>>65127824This, it’s a special skill set in its own. Luckily these days there are lots of tutorials on YouTube that will very useful and will get you an idea on what materials you need and how to execute it.
