Brott Mit Uns - Tamiya German Soldiers at Rest

This is my latest rendition of TAMIYA’s 1984 classic, German Soldiers at Rest (35129), finished using AK Interactive 3Gen and Quick Gen acrylics. This particular kit holds sentimental value; it was originally a gift from Mr. Yuji Kurotaki, passed on to me by Mr. Yoshihiko Tanaka.

With the kit’s recent re-release, it felt like the perfect time to revisit this vintage gem. While I intended to keep the build strictly "out of the box," I couldn't resist adding a few refinements using stretched sprue. Completed in just four days, the kit’s enduring detail is a true testament to Tamiya’s timeless quality.

Cheers,

Nevskaya Palitra Round Brushes

This is my review of the Nevskaya Palitra round brush (size #2).

The Russian-made Nevskaya Palitra is similar in design to the Spanish-made Escoda sables. Nevskaya Palitra brushes are relatively cheaper in this part of the world compared to Escoda.

Tamiya Pro II Brushes

This is my overview of the Tamiya Pro II brush.

As you can observe below, the Tamiya Pro II is similar in design to the W&N Series 7 brushes. It is an economical alternative to the more exorbitant (and unfortunately less reliable) W&N Series 7 brushes.
