Hello Everyone,

I had a question for you all and apologize if this is not the right sub to do so. I am also posting in multiple subs so apologies if you see this more than once.

My uncle recently passed away. My aunt has begun the process of cleaning/consolidating his stuff. He was a lifelong collector and hobbyist of RC and model military tanks, planes, and vehicles. As well as model Texaco , Nascar, USAC cars and some BMW items . He also had a full workshop for them.

My aunts wishes originally were to sell and/or donate the items. However, I informed her that there are a number of items worth quite a bit of money and these aren't "just toys" to be donated.

My goal is to help her determine where the best market would be, if any and how to go about it. This was a major portion of his life and he dedicated numerous hours. We ultimately want to ensure that if sold, it is fair value. As well, if donated, they will be cherished.

I have attached some generalized pictures. I am soon going to begin the process of taking them out of the displays. We have a number of the original boxes undamaged. Please feel free to PM me. I appreciate your help in advance!

Any advice would be helpful, I only used brushes as you can probably tell but I’m just getting into the hobby

I've been looking to build one for my reenactment impression and finally found a good model on thingiverse, I had to modify it quite a bit, and I'm planning on reworking the model and printing another prop but with reciprocating slide and the correct stock, used black acrylic and inka gold silver paint for the metal parts, and burnt siena for the wood parts, fully PLA plastic except for the sling ofcourse

Based on various photos from Russo-Ukrainian War.

I know it’s not perfect and could probably be improved but I’m happy with it like this.

Just need to fit a base to neaten it up otherwise I'm over it and calling it done..

At some point whenever I feel inspired i may revisit it and add some debris etc to the scene.

Any tips or critique to help the it all together is always welcomed.

I 3d printed the mini figures as well as the base

All 39 of my models that I have on display in my room

For a future project I would like to make a camo scheme with thin lines. Something like the added picture (not my project), or one with slightly larger lines, like on a Panther ausf D.

I’m still finding my way in the use of airbrushes. Do you guys have some tips and advice for me? Do you need to use a different needle size?

Thank you!

Keep your spares .

Okay, that headline was a lie. My girlfriend spotted a Tamiya Panzer II kit at our local hobby shop and asked me if I could show her how to build a model tank.

I showed her a few of my tricks for building and painting, and we tried to keep everything simple.

The painting was done with a spray can. She used four or five acrylic paints for the details, then did a simple pin wash and a bit of weathering, mostly using a sponge.

I have to say she absolutely nailed it. My first model was nowhere near this level. I guess when she starts painting figures and building dioramas as well, I can quit the hobby and leave the display case to her work.

The tanks are actually organised according to their respective countries and sometimes types like those with wheels…so it’s a bit disorganised but I know where they are 😆😄…I will explain a bit more about my medical clinic office room… The office (my clinic private practice) is tiny actually..it’s around 20 feet width and 13 feet length) so it’s just a tiny rectangular space for me to see my patients and also my personal workspace for all my models…and I don’t have a spray booth for painting..just open all the windows and doors and pump out the paint chemical odour and fumigation will be done with an air cleaner….the shelves you see on the walls are all DIY and excuse me for poor workmanship if you see some tilted and different brackets used to hold them up….hope you all enjoy this while I figured out how to make more parking spaces for my incoming tanks….

I'd love some feedback for my first model.

I learned a LOT doing it, and made some mistakes, but all in all, I'm happy with it ❤️

Definitely need to get better paint.

Aside from sealing the figure and deciding on a base and if I dirty up the uniform.

All up I'm satisfied with the end results seeing as I have little experience in such detailed figures.

Anything I need to do to to tie it all in especially the face any tips would be greatly appreciated..

The dioramas done for now, I may get some stowage for the engine deck if I can find some cheap enough

A few small details left to add but overall very happy with this build...
