Welcome and thank you mates!

Mirko Römer
Spot-on weathering, wow!

Tom B.
Really nice paintjob! Using watercolor-pencils seems intriguing to try... did it pose any bigger problems compared to oils?

Thanks Mirko and Tom!
Hi Lukasz!

@Tom: For my weathering I mainly use enamel products (AK or Mig).
But I also like the use of the pencils.

I think these are great to represent fine streakings and other traces.
They are easy and quick to use and can be blended very well with a moistened (water) brush.
With a sharp tip you can work very accurately.
Dust or soil accumulations on horizontal surfaces can also be displayed well.
With something to try and get to know, these are very versatile.
I use Farber Castell and AK.
I think a seal afterwards with clear lacquer is recommended in order not to damage the work.

In short 😅: I have no problems with this and use them much more often than oil paints.

Tom B.
Thanks for the insight 👍

It's Humvee time🤣

Chan Li
Simon, I like this technical post, you explained the steps and tools you have used on it, which is helpful to me, you know I will try some of your methods down the road.
I have Faber castell water pencils as well (they actually belong to my wife), but I realized they might be useful to me a few months ago. I made some streaks on my plane, but not with a sharp tip brush, your idea is enlightening.
I'm fan of quick weathering, since most of us have to focus on work and family, I will introduce some of the methods to my friends here.
Besides, this is another fantastic result 👍

Dimitrios
Absolutely great!

Robin (WhiteGlint)
Tiny but great 😉
Good work on the base too. The road looks nicely dusty. 👍

Chan Li
And, Simon can you tell me about the platform (road), it's been a mystery to me, what kind of material you used? How you made it? It looks neat!

Simon Nagorsnik Autor
Many thanks to Chan, Dimitrios and Robin and thanks to all who liked my work!

@Chan: The watercolor pencils are a good and versatile option I think.
These also allow cleaner work on smaller areas because they can be used more specifically.
It should also be noted that the pencils function differently on smooth and matt surfaces.
Especially when it comes to blending.

I'm sure your wife will be happy to lend it to you;)

Marcin Dudek
Incredible. Hard yo belive it is 1/72. Grate work 👍

Simon Nagorsnik Autor
Thanks Marcin and thanks for watching 😄

Stefan Fraundorfer
You built a very nice little vignette Simon. Your weathering techniques are superb.

Michael Kohl
I was anxious to see how you would avoid the monochrome Humvee to look too dull. But flag, cargo and the excellent figures do the trick. Well done.

Marius
Honstely, I am amazed how realistic you did the lightning/weathering on the Humvee, it's not that easy in 1:72. I love this diorama overall! Congrats!

Rui S
Great work as always 👍

Neuling
Great work as always 👍

Finn
Once again amazing, Simon

Simon Nagorsnik Autor
Thank you so much Stefan, Michael, Marius, Rui, Neuling and Finn! 😁
I`m always really happy to read such comments!

Harry Eder
Really cool vignette and nice weathered Humvee! 👍
Can you tell me where the soldiers from?

Simon Nagorsnik Autor
Hi Harry, thank you and for sure I can tell you:

The standing soldier is from CMK- F72343 and the one in the vehicle is a figure of Modelcollect and actually a Russian soldier.

However, I believe that those of M.C. are not to be bought separately.
In my case, it was included in a kit.

Zsolt Czegle
Great work again! 👍

Djordje Nikolic
Great job! Love it

Simon Nagorsnik Autor
Thanks for watching mates!

David R. Meizoso
I've just finished watching the TV series "Generation Kill" from David Simon, where Humvees are the main character. Yours is a superb rendering, love the way you weathered it. Flag an Coke box are a great touch too.

Simon Nagorsnik Autor
To be honest, I don't know the series🙂 but thank you very much for your nice feedback David 😀

Simon Nagorsnik Autor
Thanks frieds!

Shar Dipree
Another piece of jewelery from your manufactory.

Mr James
My god that impressive, at any scale..

Laliscale
Wow! Congrats mate!

LC
Beautiful kit but T-Model's decision to make the wheel into many separate parts is interesting...

Simon Nagorsnik Autor
@LC76: Haha, yeah that's right 😂
But I think they look quite okay for that.
I've seen a lot worse than this one 😉

Erik Torp
I would have believed you if you had said 1/35 scale. Excellent work!

Simon Nagorsnik Autor
Thanks for your nice comment Erik!
Also thanks for all the other likes!
