discussion A13 Mk.I/Cruiser Tank Mk.III

[Guest]

Artyom,
I cannot fault your workmanship, and if I could it would be nitpicking - superb.
Mike.

Thank you friends! Unfortunately progress is very low in timeline.

So. We are going further. All is wrong with driver's cabin. Fist of all there was a slope before vertical armor plate. There wasn't any hinge before it. It was something that holds rubber canvas. My variant of the slope is too sharp. I will fix it later with canvas.
The visor in the kit is too small, I have made my variant. L-shaped holder is not fixed yet. And I need to ad dozen rivets and nuts and fix some moment which are not strait.
You can see it on photos with arrows. Sad. More work to come. Now we modelers have much time for it.

First two photos have been taken from Terry Ashley and PMMS. For reference.

Please be healthy and stay home.

Outstanding work, as always — it gets dull, but what else can you say?

 

[Neo]

Thank you! I know it's boring :smiling5:

Never boring Artyom. Cracking work

 

[Graeme C.]

All the details are the making of this build Artyom, keep up the good work.

 

[Neo]

Ian, Graeme thank you! Unfortunately there is time to stay home and do some works with models.

Another crackin update Neo. If you are stuck for things to do while you are at home you could paint one or two of your masterpieces LOL

Hi,Steve! Unfortunately all my instrument are at work. So next post with model will be only after quarantine:disappointed:

 

[Neo]

Greetings to all! I hope all of you are fine and healthy.
Unfortunately I have lack of time to work with model. Last thing I have done was rubber canvas for drive's cabin. There were two stages. First with Tamiya's putty. Second one with aluminium foil. I tried to compare result with photos from Bovington.

That looks convincing enough to me

 

[Steve Jones]

A very nice comparison to the real thingy. Nice to see your work life has allowed you to do some more modelling. Lovely work as always

 

[scottie3158]

Very neat work as always.

 

[Neo]

Thank you friends! I think this is most problematic place in this model. Shame from Bronco.

 

[Guest]

Hi Neo

I hope you and your family are staying safe over in Russia. Another nice update of the rivets and bolt heads. I recently did 230 on my latest build and then had to strip them all off and do them again as they were the wrong pattern. Utter madness:smiling2::smiling5:

Hi,Steve! I understand you perfectly. These rivets are madness. I use 0.4mm and they are really very small. About safety... Unfortunately my father-in-law has died month ago. Physicians informed us that is was COVID.:disappointed2:
