Wow, this looks amazing Ian! All those chunky rivets are a real gift for weathering, this is gonna look the biz!

 

[Guest]

Hi Ian


Just caught up with this build again. The 38t is looking very good. With the addition separate linked tracks an a some weathering this will look amazing.


Keep up the great work.

Got the tracks built and painted, now starting to weather them. I've also got the spare tracks and exhaust painted and fitted. And added a bit of mud to the underside and sides.

Moved on a little with this one, something tells me I'm going to be late with this. Got the tracks on and started to paint all the tools to go on it.

Stunning build Ian.  I must admit that since my move over to civilian subjects, I have never once missed making tracks up lol. Doing a great job on this buddy.

 

[monica]

looks great Ian,I,m real liking how this is turning out so far ,

 

[papa 695]

Thanks guys This ones nearly finished, but I'm trying to think of a base for it, and maybe a figure to go on top. Any ideas as to the best figure to get ? 

 

[Guest]

That looks great Ian top work.

 

[tr1ckey66]

Beautiful work Ian. The weathering really has brought this to life.


With regards figures are you talking plastic or resin?


For me Alpine Miniatures resin figures are amongst the best out there but great things can be done with the Dragon 1/16 plastic kits.


I've not seen an early war panzer figure (with distinctive large beret/hat) in 1/16 but that would be perfect.


Cheers

[monica]
