If there is room I will also pull a chair if I haven't missed too much I've just read through I don't know how I have missed this one

[Jason Crausby]

me too!

One thing I love about doing WW2 tanks is that imperfections are the norm and it whilst it helps a noobie like me, getting them to look natural is a whole new skill set. Point in case here.

I always get my Mrs's to help me put in that last pin on the tracks as well. :tears-of-joy: :smiling5: :thumb2: .

Feeling very cold again. A very nice bit of sag on the tracks.

Hopefully your next build will be set in the Pacific theatre of war:thumb2:

Thank you for your enlightening comment Mr Jones, however I must inform you as far as my builds are concerned I shall not be venturing in to the Pacific theatre of war, maily due to the fact that the Russians were not involved :nerd:.

Killer work Dude 2!!! The first and second pics show the true beauty of a set of Friuls…...Keep it coming and your fingers will heal Buddy. The 0.5 wire only makes little holes in them!!!

Prost
Allen

Greeting Dude 1, yes they came out of it well, the finger is improving at least the blood loss was virtually nil, so hospitaliation was not required :smiling3:.

Hi John
Looking good, freezing cold but very good.
Jim

Thanks Jim, I have to wear a coat while modelling, just too have the complete experience. Can't imagine how anyone actually survived in that cold for very long, more so with poor clothing.

They look JUST RIGHT. PaulE

Cheers Paul.

Bugger all wrong with tracks, they always had sag John, cracking build sir!!

Thats good to know Bob, thanks .

Good job John, looking like winter is early.

Andy.

Thanks Andy.

John. Very nice I needed that chill of your build it’s been scolding hot here

Lee, thanks and you are welcome to our wet weather at the moment:smiling3:..

Oh get on wit Man!! No worry over a little sag...........and Mr. Jones wants to know when and where in the Pacific theater the "Rooskies" fought their campaign against the Jappos.....I've got me coat, the taxi's on its way! Patient 358

Rick I'm going as fast as an oldie can brother. :smiling2:.
There is little hope with Mr Jones, Matron has given him up as a lost cause.

The tracks and the snow-job look great John. I also find that I have to give my eyes time to re-adjust after a time away from the bench.

Hi Peter, thank you. That's refreshing to know about the re-adjustment. Iam are not alone then :thumb2:.

very well done John those friul tracks give you headache... but they are so realistic...And the snow looks great

Merci Greg. :smiling3::nerd:

John

Sorry just caught up on this, it's looking very good indeed!!

Well done.

Andrew

No problem Andrew, thanks for looking in.

Tracks are looking good John.:thumb2:

John,
The tracks look great to me. Get a shiver when you look at it.

Cheers Paul, wait until you see the poor figures !!!.

If there is room I will also pull a chair if I haven't missed too much I've just read through I don't know how I have missed this one

Martyn, good to see you, just push Steve over, never mind If he's alseep.:smiling3:

Jason your always welcome, squeeze in.

Thats very kind of you to say Toby, its all achieved with mirrors :nerd:. Joking apart studying photos and trials and failures of methods seems the only way.

Last night I had brushed some ice and snow wash on, I'm pleased with the results I found this morning when all had dried. When its applied its wishy washey, but once the carrier has dreisd off the snow appears.
Its done just as I had hopped, that clingy look that snow gives to a thick material as in the coat.


Esp in the fold to the left above.



Certainly has that look of blown snow.




Above it's looking just like he has tramped through thick snow. I just love this product.

C & C Welcome.
Thanks for looking in.

John,
Looks good especially on the coats. I may have to get some of this and have a play.

Thanks Paul, think I might remove some of the snow on that helmet band, looks over done. Wanted more on the upper half, as if they were walking into a heavy snowfall.

[mrtintheweb]

They look frozen! Joys of the Russian front in winter!

Thanks Toby, good to have you along.:thumb2:

[Mini Me]

They do look sufficiently frozen JR. You might consider the "trembling Pearl" at the end of the old "Schnozola"LOL:smiling5: Rick H.

Hi Rick, now that is a good idea.:smiling2::smiling2::smiling2:

[Guest]

That looks great John. Definitely gives a good representation of caked-on snow.

[BattleshipBob]

Hope you knows a good old brass monkey!!

Cracking work John

[Allen Dewire]

Brilliant John - a blizzard blasted Eastern Fronter if ever there was one.
