The Jobless Pole

Former academic, now long-term unemployed. Likes archaeology, art, painting, assembling models, painting assembled models. Always happy to share my work results (all, including the good, the bad, and especially the ugly)
A small side project I worked on. Having no money, I bought a cheap 1:100 Type 97 Te-Ke model (from Belarus), painted it with Army Painter (army) green and Vallejo true metallic metal and made a small thematic base for it :D #modelpainting #ww2 #tankette #tank #militaryhistory

Couldn't wait for my nameday to give myself a present ;) This time its Graze from the Iron-Blooded Orphans, in a (rapidly applied, should have waited) metal-dark green-blue colour scheme + gloss varnish for the armor. #gunpla #modelpainting #graze

This time I’d like to show you the first 1:100 #gunpla I ever painted in full. In May I got a Guncannon Detector for really cheap and thought it would look way better in camo, so I painted it that way (first time using the technique I later refined for the Burglarydog). #modelpainting #guncannon

My girlfriend recently assembled the 30 Minutes Fantasy Liber Archer. Armed and armored it looks really good, but I did didn’t the body itself could be so expressive! #gunpla #30minutesfantasy

A bit of a different post today, about the work in progress within the work completed :P I reworked the #30MinuteMissions display case and repainted it to look more metallic. I’m now using it to showcase models that aren’t fully completed yet (like the 30mm support vehicle doggo here ;) ).

…the last post for today – my #gunpla #HG Palace-Athene :) I tried to stick to the original colors but tweaked them a bit and avoided using stickers (I’m not a fan of stickers…). In the end, #modelpainting went well. By the way, this HG is way bigger than I expected!

One more post, this time featuring my set of 'support vehicles' from the #30MinuteMissions #Gunpla line. I know many people use them to add accessories to the main mecha, but I really fell in love with these little guys. With some additions (#ModelPainting), they can stand on their own as models :)

Ok, my very first post on Bluesky.... Here’s my freshly painted Burglarydog from #votoms. The model was a gift from my girlfriend, so I had to do something cool with it :) I haven’t been painting #gunpla for long but I feel like I’m finally making some progress in #modelpainting
