Pink Panther's 'Crashed Tilly'

[aaron]

So wait what?? Andrew your post blew me doing a raf tilly like the option offered by tamiya out of the water lol Tamiya shouldnt be allowed to do that.

I guess ill have to just give it to swmbo then as she doesnt know (or care) how accurate my models are.

What a bummer tho, Thanks for that input Andrew

Sorry Aaron, I didn't mean to burst your bubble I must admit I've still got my 1:48 Tamiya Tilly in the stash. The 1:35 as shown here is a beautiful model and the Accurate Armour Standard Tilly is a lovely little model

In the end its about making a nice model, historical accuracy is all well and good but it should be about enjoying the model and making something interesting...

True that.

I appreciate corrective knowledge always.Ian no bubble burst mate cheers for letting me know. I read through pages of blogs looking for information like you shared

Thank you very much boys!!!

That great debate... :judge:

My first option of painting it is the color 'Khaki Green', which corresponds to the 47th (London) Infantry Division, United Kingdom. There are two options with the camouflage 'Mickey Mouse', but don't like to me the dark color on both. Now that I have decided do it on fire, well ... few painting will stay!! I have a small intuition to do on fire, but it's my first attempt, some advice friends?

I'm making now the supports of the canvas with bars of aluminium, thanks for your advice.

I agree with you polux about the mickey mouse dark on dark its not really my first choice either, sorry i havent done a burnt out of a model but i have seen a few smashing ones online. a quick search should return some great views. Good luck

Hello to all.

Since only I have a project more ' Winter patrol ' I am going to invest every hour that could in this one. And here there is the work of this weekend. My intention is does a calcined Tilly, nonetheless I want to support the "very entire" engine, and after observing the original engine in the blog that Andrew showed me I decided to put complements for major realism. I didn'tt think that to put these pipes, and principally the one that goes from filter to filter avoiding the leak, it would be late so many hours in making. With the identical and greasy engine it will stay well!!

If the vehicle is on fire, the leather and the foam of the seats is burned, making alone the metallic structure, which I have made with metal, thread of copper and part of a complement. I have to put something of burnt clothes …

At the moment the diorama it will be like that of small. And against the antitank obstacle I like the option of collision. If it was putting a wall of bricks, the visibility of a wings of the car was disappearing.

Thanks for looking

Regards

Polux

Very nice so far, like what you've done with the seats and the engine of course!

A great start Polux the engine and seats are looking good. And a good idea of an anti tank mine instead of the wall so you have all round vision of the damage

[Guest]

That's a good start Polux, we can see where this is going! I like how you're planning to do the burnt-out seats, excellent idea!

Cheers Patrick

[Guest]

Thanks chaps for your kind words!

I looked for photos of the seats, and they all were different... So I have done a bit of own imagination to give them form... Once identical and rusty I wait be correct!

This night I have begun with the zone of back load, have started destroying and creating the top part of the petrol tank that is not observed in the normal Kit.

Nobody will know if a petrol tank exploits, there stays something of him ...?

Best regards

Hi Polux I like this too

I was looking for some info for you about the petrol tank but found nada sorry.

[Guest]

Great stuff Polux.....excellent build with detail going on here...

[Guest]

Great idea for the seats Polux, you can already see they'll look good when painted/weathered.

As for the petrol tank, if I understand you are showing it exploded, the pressure will just rip or tear the metal along the seams (I've seen a few tanks go bang on the track), some bits might be forced off but a fair bit will remain.
