discussion 1/35 TAMIYA StuG 1V

[John Race]

Coming along very nicely John. Very nicely detailed.

Looking good John. Paint will bring it to life nicely. Agree with Joe ref fillers. Acrylic fillers work well for cracks and seams, but laquer fillers, like Tamiya, are best for dents and divots. They bind into the plastic and sand to a feather edge.

Looking mighty fine John!!

Thanks all.
Yes that acrylic filler is ok for those mentioned, I've just cut and wired a head, and used Tamiya to start the filling.

As mentioned about, the figure I want to look at the side, while speaking to some ground soldiers. Not wanting to fit a new head, I've cut and wired this one. Using Tamiya filler , will need to add more but applying in layers.



Mean while the rest of the parts, minus the tracks, have had a coat of primer. Used Ultimate own brand, found it to be perfect as no thinning required.


Have done those tools this way off the kit as I will fully paint and put them on later. Next will be the main colour and chipping, looking forward to that part.

John.
