Ahoy mates!

I would like to present my ongoing project which I'm doing on comission.
It's the relatively new kit from Italeri and it was build straight OOB. What's left is the detail panting and weathering the torpedo and the "riders". With this model I tried to use the color modulation described by Adam Wilder in this feature over at Armorama: http://armorama.kitmaker.net//features/2006
It came out a bit bright but hopefully the colors will tone down afterI some filters .
This will be a short blog so you may expect next stages and finished product photos in the next few days .

Cheers
Greg

Very nice work, Grzegorz!
When you complete this build, would you be interested in submitting a portfolio of finished images for an "On Display" feature? (hope so! )
Cheers,
~Gunny

Thanks Gunny! I will submit the photos with pleasure

Cheers
Greg

Thanks, Greg, lookin forward to it, mate...you can send them to me here!

Hi Grzegorz

Your SLC Maiale is turning out very good - and I might say that the model really helps making a clean built out of it
Keep us posted please
Skipper

VERY clean build, Im bookmarking this one for sure, have had an eye for that kit for a bit. INtersting article on color modulation, will be a few years until I get good enough to try that Thanks for sharing, look forward to the rest!

Thanks Rui, yes the fit is really nice on this little kit plus it's original as hell (at least for an armor guy like myself).

Here is todays bunch of photos - detail painting, scratches and paintchips done, still have to do the filters and washes and paint figures.

Cheers
Greg

Greg, very, very nice, I like the colors and the rack also looks cool.
The p.e. work looks fine also.
Looking foward to the write up.
Glenn

Looking fine, mate...keep it up!

Very nice!

Thank you for sharing that with all of us.

Great build! The paint job is very well done.

Thanks for sharing

Awesome stuff man.

Excellent Grzegorz
Nothing to complaint about - only GOOD
Thanks for sharing and keep us posted on updates please

Rui

Thanks for the comments guys!
Here it is finished, finally!

Oil filters toned down the bright greens on the torpedo as I expected, maybe just a tad too much for my liking. After panting the figures, everything was secured to the base and voila!

Cheers
Greg

Bravo Zulu, Greg!

Now, how about a nice batch of images for an "On Display" Feature?

~Mark

superb job! Love the figures and final paint/wash... another thread bookmarked for future reference! Thanks again for sharing such a great build! cheers.

Super stuff Greg.

Hi Grzegorz

:)
I really like your Maiale and the figurines are excellent too.
I have to agree with Mark for the photos (size 800x600) for a MOD Feature

Congratulations!!!
Rui

Ahoy mates!
Thanks for the kudos!!!

Rui, the fact is that I already started sending the photos to Mark but resized to 1280 pixels width. Is 800 pixels a maximum for a picture for MOD? (I'm resizing the pictures anyway so I could resize them to 800 pixels as well)

Cheers
Greg

Great job Grzesiek !

Yes Greg
Those are the maximum Feature/MOD picture size
Thanks
Rui

Great painting on the torpedo and figures, Greg. I like the metalized touches on the valves and lines, breaks up the unitone. The base is very well done, very realistic wood grain.

Thanks for all the comments mates!
I had finaly got an inspiration to and wrote a short description of the build so you may expect a feature on my Maiale with many photos (though probably it won't be anything new from whats in this thread )

Cheers
Greg

Looking forward to see/read it Grzegorz
:)

Cheers,
Rui
