    A penny for your screenshots!

    Hello everyone! In this thread, you may post screenshots of the various games you play and perhaps comment on the background, or even write stories of your misadventures. Artistic views are encouraged, but keep it decent. This one's from Rise of Flight. I'm piloting the Halberstadt D.II in...

    Battleaxe's practical guide to... modelling

    Picking up the pace Hello, chaps. It has been a considerable while, so here's what I've been up to lately. As you can see, the interior is now largely complete. Most of the things that still need to be done are mainly weathering-related. After that, the insides of the fuselage will be...

    How will reloads work

    Gentlemen, Recently, a possible problem came to mind concerning the reloading animations of certain weapons. Will it be possible to have interrupted reloads for rifles like the SMLE, the No. 4, the G43 and the Lebel? With an interrupted reload, I mean putting in one 5-round clip, but then...

    Poweeerrr!! And some wood Hello, everyone. I know it's been a while, but two translations and two revisions per week can play hell with your spare time. Anyway, today I'll be showing you the work that has been done on the engine and cockpit. First off, the engine. Now, the Roland was powered...

    Battleaxe's practical guide to... modelling

    A wild Wingnut Wings Walfisch appears! Having read a number of articles on various Wingnut Wings kits, I decided I should have a go myself. Of course the first thing to do was to decide which one to take. Because I have no previous experience with rigging, no RFC plane was really an option due...

    My fellow Tractionists Given your positive reactions to my Heinkel 219, I thought you gentlemen would like an in-depth look into the art of model making. Over the coming posts, I will explain both basic and more advanced techniques to make a model look good, old, dirty, used, factory fresh and...

    Churcill mk-1 tank

    I like the progress you're making, but you've still got some proportional kinks to iron out. Also, the Churchill Mk.I had a differently shaped turret. The one you've got right now is a Mk.III. If you can find them, I suggest you use blueprints. That way you avoid proportion problems. Here's...

    Main page?

    The internet is a strange place, first Traction Wars' main page goes dead, and then FH forums snuff it as well. What seems to be the problem?

    What have you made recently?

    She's finished! I've run a black oil paint wash into the panel lines, did a bit of chipping at the leading edges of the wings and around the access panels for the guns and undercarriage inspection, and drybrushed the gun smoke plumes. The exhaust plumes are done with black MIG pigment...

    Militaria

    So, I just came back from town, there was a gathering of WWII vehicles in rememberance of the liberation of Mechelen. Nothing special, just a few jeeps, Dodges, a GMC, M3 Scout car, and a M8 Greyhound. The cool thing was they were doing tours of the town with a few vehicles, so I rode along in...

    Militaria

    On the third day of the retreat, the weary Belgian troops pass through Mechelen, and take a break. Unfortunately, the weather turned pretty bad, quite quickly. And I wasn't able to get a load of good shots. I'll upload some more tomorrow.
