I haven't built any Hobbyboss armour yet, but this looks a nice kit - the open side hatch is a nice touch.


The painting is going well, interesting use of different shades on the hull

Hi modellers, hehe


Indeed the start was great but then came Freddy Krueger!!


And then i found some problems like the engine parts!


So i search for a nice review....


I was reading the review on AMPS and it was not only the engine interior.

-Driving wheels (to wide) i already glue them


-Engine drivetrain + Exhaust + upperhull with opening behind


@Patrick ,most of my kits are Hobby Boss(Trumpeter,Academy)


so a little update now :

[Guest]

I bow to your skills!Weathering on the top!Especially,i like the interior!By the way,will you add things on the tank?For example: boxes, weapons, packages etc.( I`m not sure that i ask a correct question,please correct me)

Looking real nice like the rust streaks..

 

[Razzie43]

@Egor,(your english is very good better then mine)when i'm done with this tank it goes back into the box.


So no guns,ammo boxen etc... on my tanks


ps : i have them also in boxen


@John , i hope u mean on the tank i'm building,becos the photo above is a Real tank scale 1/1

 

[Guest]

Nice weathering.

 

[geegad]

Yes think your rust effect looks better than the real thing

 

[Razzie43]

you flattered me


i'm glad you like it,i just start with the rust effects

 

[Guest]

Looking very good so far!!

 

[monica]

do like the looks of this one so far very nice work,

 

[Razzie43]

They say that my weathering is a little overdone?(now i didn't start yet)


Like "don't sell the bear before u shoot them?"


IT "representing a hulk that has been sitting out in the weather for decades, it is not accurate for the M26E4 Pilot #2 tank". says a guy on the usa forum!! hehe


spank me hard enough please

i just found a new technique for myself and i want so share it here...


Metal coat : i use normally with a brush the humbrol metal cote 27003, and then i use some spoon or cotton piece to make it shiny!!


Now my paint is almost so dry that i put it on paper and take my cotton and then i go directly on my project to give that result of metal!


it's not overdone like with the brush
