SimonT - SdKfz.250/9 1/87 Trident
I was up in the loft this afternoon - had a rummage and came back down with this one that PaulE and Rick will no doubt recognise [Whilst up there I had a dig around in the Roco pile and found the following 1/87 kits: Fallschirmjäger figure set, M48, M110, M2 Bradley, M1 Abrams, M38 jeep, Willys...- SimonT

SimonT - T34/85 Dragon 1:72
John - no, I just cut them off. Not replacing this time Jim - found that they stuck with CA. Definitely stuck ones in older Dragon kit with normal poly. There has been rather a tradition of making small scale tracks from vinyl type material that does not stick with anything. Airfix, Matchbox...- SimonT

traces of dried mud added to the wheels but not enough to obliterate the detail mud spatters by using the airbrush to blow the mud off a brush from below same idea at the rear exhaust staining added with engine oil enamel and black pigment diesel spill stains added to the tanks on the back- SimonT

finally finished scoring in the cobbles in the courtyard plus assembled a Historex water barrel to sit at the side of the building Sanded the join lines then re-scribed some of the stave lines (I think the Historex moulds are getting rather tired. I have noticed that details are getting very...- SimonT

Thanks Neil Plenty of scope for shading John - should be fun Cheers Scottie. Still need to look at doing some hinges for the barn doors and window shutters The punch certainly makes tile making easier but it does make your fingers ache after a while made a start on tidying up the cut edge of...- SimonT

Morning all, this one has been plodding along in the background and after a concerted effort last night the roof is now complete still needs the edges trimming back and it may need some part tiles adding to tidy things up a bit along the cut line back to scribing cobble stones next- SimonT

Rick, Steve, Graeme - thanks all Well, you may not be so happy with it now....... I have taken my slightly over the top modulation T34 and covered it in some 'washable white camo' paint that I bought a while ago and have been itching to try out Rather than go through the chipping medium /...- SimonT

Steve - I do the basic paint then the filter and basic wash then any kind of painting skill just fades away so don't expect too much more from this :smiling5: I have had an attempt to tinker with it- SimonT

Jim - any shade you want as long as it is brown. These enamel washes, filters etc dry much faster than oil paint mixes. Even the oil brushers dry faster than normal artist oils Rick - thanks Steve - thanks Been playing about with this one over the past few days - a few more layers of the...- SimonT

Hi Paul - I do have a rubber deadblow hammer. Had considered thumping it but I don't think the alloy the punches are made from is up to it. I have already bent one of my leaf punches with finger pressure roof progressing nicely - not much of a spectator sport though made some nice chunky...- SimonT

Thanks all :thumb2: did some more work on the roof changed to punching the tiles out of Tamiya box card rather than the blue foam - gives sharper tile edges plus it is free unlike that blue foam which is expensive stuff downside is that punching the much harder card takes its toll on the...- SimonT

Morning all, decided I should try and progress the S/Tiger and make a start on a base so spent most of Saturday making this still very much a work in progress especially the roof - will need to punch a lot more tiles loosely based on a building in one of the period Sturmtiger photos I think...- SimonT

Resin casting intro
No offence to anyone but that is not the easiest way to cast something such as that Taurus sample block Rather than go through all the palaver of making two part moulds with lego and clay and measuring with scales just make single sided moulds as used by a lot of the commercial makers (it is...- SimonT

I use black primer so the 'dark base' is almost the same John - probably more use if spraying over a grey primer Yes, some of those T34/85's are really rough - I used the red paste to create the vertical casting marks on the base of my turret will try and remember to Scotch pad the next one...- SimonT

Paul - have toned it down Richard - no, needs sanding Lee - would have had to have my eyes closed to leave that much dust on it :smiling5: Jim - six. You are right, the dark base is not far removed from the black primer and the shine is way too bright in any large amount As suggested by...- SimonT
