[monica]

ta Paul,will be making a start on this one soon,

 

[monica]

well having a few days off painting figures, :/


so much unused plastic,and so meany bits so slow moving, :S


so an update on this one,have the lower hull together,and wheels on,left the from,rubber part off until painted,not doing it two times,


have the upper hull,started as well,and the turret also,need to let things set,before moving on,with so much more


to add hatchets and other bits and bobs,I do like the harder kits so,it dose take much longer to get things moving,


but oh theses dragon plans are all over the place,my cats are not as messy as theirs things lol, :S


well hope you do like the progress so far,

Looking like a good start there! Why, oh why can't Dragon sort this out? Their dodgy instructions are legend, and it appears world-wide, you'd have to bet on them knowing what the modelling world thinks of their instructions???? Mind you, my Mirroe Models Diamond breaker's instructions are photocopies, and nowhere near as clear... .

 

[monica]

glad your liking the start,not without ,it's headaches trying to work out the instructions :S


oh totally agree,John,I think they do know,and its a big joke to them,they sit around reading review,s and fall of there chairs laughing,lol,


well do wish you luck with your build,and maybe you will have to become a jeti knight ,to under stand them. 9_9

 

[Guest]

You're a one woman modelling machine Monica .

Looking good Moni. Have you decided which camo scheme you're doing yet?


I have no idea how well my STuG would have turned out without all the help on here. I've just spotted the towrope brackets on yours. Duuuhhh! I've got to scratch some for mine as none are supplied, just an awful moulded plastic towrope - which I've replaced.

well yes I have done the como,got lucky and come home early,panzer gray with brown,


the towrope holders,I made out of spur,as I could not find them any were ,out of all the plastic,and they showed them on,but no mention of the parts, :S


so I hope your liking it so far, 9_9

 

[monica]

well got home early about 2hr,s ago,and made a start with this one, 9_9


got the primer on,then the base coat,then the molting,then the brown camo, :S I do it all in one go,if I can,over the top of the wet under coats,


as I find,it tends to blend in better, :S ,well that how I,see it,to some may look a little lite,but with the weathering and dark pin-lining ,it dose darken up,


the camo is from an unknown unite, :$


also was going to start the track link,s but beaning after 4pm,true blood and deadwood is on,I just lov deadwood, :$


one thing very good about the dragon kits is have the rubber as a separate ,band,much easier to paint the wheels, 9_9


maybe watch tv,for a bit,the links will still be there ,when I decide to get to them,


well I do hope you like my progress,
