Cross of iron Group build

[Guest]

Further progress

Hi all this is just an update on my progress so far with the group build, i have had a couple of lessons from scott with the air brush and with some supervision i have comleted the main paint work, there are a few touch ups needing done and all the weathering is still to do. The camouflage is finished and i have given the whole tank a very light misty spray of flat earth tamiya paint, i hope you like what i have done so far.

carrie.

Hi Carrie

Well done! The finish is real quality. The 3 tone camo is bang on.

That's a really worthy addition to the GB Carrie. Excellent work.

Carrie,

I gotta ask. Are those the original 'rubber band' tracks? If so, how did you get them to 'sag' so realistically?

That is just superb Carrie. Love the subtle toning down of the camo paint, stops it looking like a psychedelic zebra. Really great work.

[Guest]

Hi Gern it is the original tracks that came in the box yes and it was a little trick scott showed me add some super glue to the tops of the small wheels and place three fingers one in between each wheel to hold the track in place, once the glue is dry you get the sag in the track.

What do I think? I think you are amazing Carrie. You are taking on and making models that any seasoned modeller would be proud of. Please don't think I am saying this because of you being a female, I am saying it because you are a good modeller, keep going you are an inspiration to us all and a fine example of how hands on help and encouragement can work so well in developing modelling skills in a beginer. Perhaps we should all join clubs as well as the forum in the hope of getting that hands on learning.

The building will be a challange, I have started one and backed off a bit, they are not easy but You go for it, really looking forward to progress pics.

I think your tank looks superb. I've never built a house in my life so I'm looking forward to seeing how it's done!

Cheers

Carrie, somehow I have missed your finished tank, what a sound job you have done on. It looks really nice, congratulations!

I have looked at these MiniArt buildings and have considered getting one, so now I can watch one being built first.....No pressure then? lol

Good luck with this and the rest of your diorama.

Russian house

OK the house has been built and primed, scott has had to help a lot with this as it was difficult one for me which was frustrating but we got there in the end the next thing is painting i hope you like it.

Those vac form buildings are not the easiest things to put together but it amazing how much detail they carry. Mini Art do a great job with them. The building looks to be coming along fine and I'm sure the Pz IV will look great alongside it. Looking forward to seeing the rest.

All the best.
