Pauls Sturmgeschutz III Ausf B, 1/35 Italerai/Dragon

[Si Benson]

Interested to see how the mini art workable tracks turn out....look rather fiddly :surprised:
Never had any fit issue with the Dragon Pz III/IV tracks, have done about 4 or 5 of those sets over the years :thinking:

so xmas didnt quite go to plan...........i was going to put everything on the bench to one side and just do something different just for the holidays....never even got to take the box off the stash pile let alone open it!

i spent a couple of days putting the Miniart tracks together which was sort of fun, definatly use them again, just hope they look right and have the slack track look

managed to spend a bit of time at the bench this morning and did some work to the hull.......which is going to be easier now im not using the kit tracks......looking forward to getting some paint on this now im making progress again

current state of play.....

painted......had a go at post shading, didnt work very well but cant be arsed to do more.......gloss coat.......decals on.......next step is a black enamel wash

the decals were a bit iffy.....theres two schemes in the box and had to combine decals from both to get something looking ok.......good job im not a rivet counter and couldnt care less about accuracy lol

slow progress

i will admit to a rapidly vanishing mojo at the minute....its not the kit, just life in general having an effect.....i had all sorts planned for this build, i was going to try a few different weathering tweeks, plus having a go at scratching a load of gubbins under a tarp on the back, cos i have an idea of something to use for the tarp.....dont think any of that will be happening now

next step is to see if those Miniart tracks fit

Know the feeling, dont give up just put it aside, do something else you enjoy then go back to it, it happens to me too, and reading on here I think others would empathise with you.

its weird......its not a mojo loss as in i dont want to build, cos i do......its more a loss of confidence, not wanting to try stuff (even if i know i can do it) for fear of it all going pear shaped

As I mentioned I get these feelings, fear of things going wrong, do things when you feel in the right mind to do it, it's not going anywhere. Maybe have some cheap models, I've started doing Meng toon tanks, cost about £10, if they go wrong it's no big deal, you can even get two the same that way if you go wrong you've got a back up, I've done this myself. Things go wrong so with that logic things can go right, at least that's my belief.
Hope all gets better.
