Ron,
Chair pulled up, bring on the magic.

What, the brushmeister used a spray can? :astonished: Is this the end of civilisation as we know it?

Hi Ron
Fun all round I reckon and the hairy stick master goes a spraying.

My fellow Padawan learners, be calm you must. To turn Ron to the darkside, more than a single spray can needed will be! He is strong with the force and much more temptation needed will be before he falls.

Hang on a mo'!
I just used a quick squirt of white radiator paint as I didn't want to waste my good BRUSH PAINTING STUFF as a bit of poxy undercoat to try and tone down the colour a bit.

Please forgive what was a momentary lapse into the crazy, masking tape by the mile, 90% goes into the atmosphere, unpredictable, mottled/dimpled finish, lung fume filling, splattering and forever cleaning nozzle world of A.B.'s.... :upside:

I promise never again to wander over to the dark side of life.

Lots of love.

I bought the said publication yesterday.
I had quite a shock to see you posing in the magazine's centre fold, holding your new fangled water hose. I never realised you had a huge staple in your belly button either. Is it painful?

All good stuff. Thanks chaps.

I won't bore you rigid with the making of them, but here are the wheels attached to the lower hull. I've glued together other bits and bobs.
I've also glued and primed the vinyl tracks. I love these kit tracks, easy to put together and fit to the model, also with a bit of care produce a perfectly acceptable result - For me anyway.
Likewise the plastic main gun barrel.



I've painted the outer wheel rims. I'm not doing any more to them as they will be all scorched to hell!


A bit of cleaning up needed here and there, but I'm not going overboard with it. Poor tank!

Cheers.

Coming along well.

Looking forward to the destruction, which is, in a strange way, weathering to the extreme.

[minitnkr]

Sounds like you've recovered from your brief sojourn to the Dark Side w/o permanent damage. I totally agree w/your remarks re ABs. Sold mine shortly after purchase. Fellow hairysticker, PaulE.

Normality reigns once again...Ain't life grand!!!

Thanks chaps.
I've just put it all down to a bad dream. -No, nightmare!

Anyway all is Tickety Boo now.

Here is the completed Tamiya kit. Most of it is in the raw and just loose fitted, including the tracks. I need it thus when I wreck it..... :hungry:

Brush painted with Vallejo Desert Brown Model Air Acrylics. Apart from the spray-on white radiator paint!.... :flushed:

It was really easy and great fun to put together and it makes up into a very nice model. Spot on for perhaps a first foray into 1/35 Armour kits, or ideal for the likes of me who couldn't recognize an non- accurate kit if he trod on one - Now there's an idea! And as pointed out by Simon in an earlier post is "As cheap as chips"












Next up, the stomping begins!

Cheers.
Ron
