discussion Tamiya 1.35 SU-85 Russian Tank Destroyer

[monica]

well this is one,I pickup at the swap meet,all in a plastic zip bag,for $10.oo Aud is a great buy,


well made a start to it,as I like to paint the lower hull,and wheels before I do fit them,to me


makes it a lot easier and quicker,as well, 9_9


I do tend to do the wheels a little liter as with the weathering dose darken them so what as well,

Then you must be waking up very early. I wake at 6.15, make some breakfast, wake the kiddo up, get out of the house by 7.30. Go to work, fetch the kiddo, reach home sweet home by 7. Clean up, eat, play a while ... and its 10PM. By then, I am 3/4 dead .... the motivation is not strong enough

This is looking really good.

 

[monica]

ta Scott,so glad your liking this so far,

 

[monica]

well as said I did get some color on this one, 9_9


all done with Vallejo air


Im,quite happy with it,there is a little splattering, :S but don,t think its much of a problem,


as I like to do it all in one sitting as ,it dose blend better I,think, 9_9


well hope you like the progress so far,


I did see a pic very simulate to this,but for the life of me,cannot refine it,to back me up, :S :$

ta Ian very glad your liking this one,its a joy to build,the Tamyia kits are very easy and no problems at all, 9_9


oh real ,you should do a few,there fun builds,my next if I,can get one will be a SU-1OO,or some think else,


maybe should look for one of the strange looking things the Russians had,

 

[Guest]

Speedy Gonzales as ever Moni! always interesting to see an older Tamiya kit being built.


Incidentally, the SU-100 was one of the few tanks feared by Tiger B crews on the Russian Front.
