Last weekend, in Ankara, we had our 5. FNSS modelling competition. As usual, it was pleasure to meet again our friends living in Ankara and friends coming to competiton from different cities of Turkey.  I had a chance to join this competition begining from the first. Every year I can honestly say quality of models getting much better.. I want to share you some images from the competiton..

In this 5th competiton we had also two very talented modellers. One of them is turkish, Özgür Güner living in Germany. You might have seen his perfect models from different magazines and web sites..

The other modeller was world wide famous modeller Adam Wilder. To be honest, Im great fan of Adam's modulations. It was pleasure to meet him in real and see him in work.. Thanks once again joining us and sharing your knowledge with us..

Like every year FNSS does, this year there was once again real vehicles demonstrations..It was great pleasure to see examples of the real vehicles which Turkish Army Uses..

I want to thank once again to FNSS and Cem Altınışık for supporting Turkish modellers every year. Special thanks to my friends who were in organizations and thanks also  to other modellers who join the comepetiton with their models..

Hope to see you next year..

251 dio continues...part 4..

This weekend I finished painting the 251. Just applied oil wash..In a few days,  I will start wheathering of the vehicle. Width indicators will be added as last step to prevent them breaking.. I always break them :P I will add a few accessories more..A few jerry cans and a bucklet maybe..

Also I painted the house and fences..Made a few clothing from epoxy.. I will paint them very colorfull..

If you have any comments about details, color or whatever it is...WRITE ME....

kfz 251/1 C, part 3: preperation to diorama

After a little effort on my hanomag, I finished the hull. I like accessories on these vehicles. I added some to front...Maybe add some more to rear..

                                                                                                                                                                         

After the vehicle is ready, I started on working on base. I always wanted to build small Russian village house. I had everything; referance photos, plastic cards  etc.. When I finished it, it built a small house corner, a big fence and a small dog house..

 Size comprasion with 1/48 scale Tamiya soldier..

  

 

I added two more figures...One commander as if giving new orders, another grenadier in listing position..Maybe I add one more to inside of the vehicle..

To fill the spaces on the base and also increasing the contrast,  Im planing to add some balsa wood painted using Hair Spray method with different colors...

If you have any idea about accessories to add either on the vehicle or base...Please leave me comment....

1/48 AFV Club 251/1 C - part 1

After holiday, finally I returned to my models...

I wanted to start a new model. When I was checking my stash, I noticed I didnt finish any of from 251 series in this year. ( note : 251 is my fav vehicle.) Also thinking our modelling competiton end of September, I have started a new 251. This time it is from AFV club and scale is 1/48.  I just made a few small corrections..

Interior is now ready for painting...

Here, for interior of  the doors, I removed the parts which was given as one mold from kit  and did my own using reference photos.. I added PE parts from my spare box.

I added armor plates to back side of seats to increase the appearance..and covered some of leather with BMF for further details..

 

Next step is painting of interior....
