discussion Dzhon's KV2 Trumpeter 1/35 SCALE

[Guest]

Hi John
All looking very good. I think that when the view of an interior is so limited it doesn't really matter what's inside. It's just a case of 'something there'. What you've done will be more than enough.
Jim

Thanks Jim, yes you are right, just needs that something.

John glad the tracks worked out. Update looks good.

Cheers Lee, was well worth the effort .



Making up some ammo boxes , not at this moment going to have any open , but strapped to the rear deck.



Painted some Ammo one Shot primer, just want to use it up now.



Even though the parts had been washed I think there are still some grease marks as it does look a bit blotchy. Will wipe the whole thing over in IMP before any more paint work.

As there were several bits left over form that GreenHouse I decided to make a little addition. Taking a figure and some scrap foam board and the added parts came up with this.



Paint tray .


All good fun.

Thanks for looking in .

Dzhon.

Looks like you've got the turret into shape John, the painter is definately a different one!

Flights of imagination Lee :smiling2: There was some sort of storage on that side of the turret as can be seen from that drawing Jakko posted .
At least it gives some indication of internals .

Hey Dude 2,
I think I mentioned it in another of your KVII builds, but if you want to fill up the turret, why not throw a 55" big screen TV on the one wall. At least then the crew could play video games while moving from one place to another as this thang was so slow..........

Other than that, Love the funky rust proof color you're using Buddy!!! Looking real good....................PM later and Van Gough ain't too shabby either.................

Great job with the artist John….he just needs a big pencil to hold

Shame the primer went squiffy, hopefully you can sort it :thumb2:

Superb John, just one question: why has Van Gogh got two ears?

I think that’s his slightly less talented brother Eric Van Gogh, Peter

congratulations! Once you've done it once, it becomes second nature. I only use Contacta, and CA for the final last link or so..............

Excellent little painter John. He looks to be doing very well painting with a tooth brush.
