Doing some more work on the 1/48 runway, not sure if the Sanka will be used for this runway or an F-14A....

Thanks! It is based on D520's paint scheme, I thought it'd fit well!

After hours of struggle I finally put together the photo etch chair... It has a bunch of problems so I hope the resting pilot and the plane will distract the audience enough 🫠

Getting more work done on the Belkan war Osean F-14A before Ace Combat 8 comes out next week lol. 1/48 Tamiya F-14 because I heard if you shake the box hard enough the kit will assemble itself...

Update on the 1/48 ISAF jaguar. painted in high vis blue and white for identification. Given ISAF is a hastily formed coalition, I'd imagine they would have friendly fire issue more often than they'd like to admit. It is also what made the jet feels like proper ISAF in my mind.

ISAF Jaguar from a "Chinese" speaking member state. Technically speaking they do exist given the mentioning of Yin Shi valley and Huxiang... So I figure an FCU state operating a jaguar like this should be accurate for continental war!

1/48 airfix jaguar as ISAF continental war aircraft because FCU member state is poor. The decals will be...interesting. If you know the paint scheme, you know what's gonna happen 🫡

That and a lot of swearing. It was a 30 minute maneuver but I don't feel like touching models for the whole day afterwards...

UMa Hobby 1/48 Harrier cockpit, this is more stressful than it looks. Now if you'd excuse me, I need to find a corner where I can just roll over and die.

I just got laid off last week after being in the company for almost 8 years. However to be frank I needed it because I was on the verge of burnout. Btw can you pm me your discord name? I didn't get a chance to add you back then!

1/48 Hobby UMa Harrier dashboard. It is a mix of hand painting and small trimmed decals cause both the waterslide and 3d decals aren't doing it for me...

Base paint is more or less done now, time to start painting in the details

Skwerl @skwerl.bsky.social · 09/05/2026
Thank you! Technically I did some preshading but I painted over it so many time it is negligible. For lacquer paint layer I went through it with similar color of slight different hues to create an uneven base and then dirtier with Gundam real touch marker plus oil paint

Greebles fit test being done on the 1/35 ISAF merkava. Given how poor FCU is portrayed in Ace Combat 8 it really isn't a big stretch to see them using Merkava mk1 during operation bunker shot lol

Thanks! This is actually new insight I gained from this project in the sense that the size of scratches and splatter really cue you in on scale cause we all subconsciously know how big splatters and droplets should be...

Skwerl @skwerl.bsky.social · 24/01/2025
Yea, I was very selective with what to wipe, as for gunk wash, maybe, that's probably it. I don't have name for everything rip

Skwerl @skwerl.bsky.social · 24/01/2025
Pooling would always occur, for panel lining you always have to wipe the excess off after the wash is dried

Skwerl @skwerl.bsky.social · 24/01/2025
Yes, the panel lines is a mix of gray and brown stain actually. This is a closer shot.
