Hi people

This is 1/35 Trumpeter. Yet another group build ... gonna build out of box.

Lots of PE Parts ...

Progress is a bit slow ... hope to pick up speed in coming week...

Some nice detail...especially the canvas.

 

[Guest]

Looks very nice.

I like the texture on the turret, it's ideal for a nice chipping or weathering effect!

Some nice detail...especially the canvas.

very nice start to her, as both Aaron / Polux have said ,very good for chipping and weathering

a shame more kits dont have such nice detail, to the sock around the gun

 

[Wong Ryan]

It has been a while since any update, but here is a sneak peek on my slowwwwww progress ...

The green is a bit patchy, with some whites on it ... it will all blend in during the weathering stage... ohh .. i only chipped the yellow colored portion ... will chip the green colored portion later tomorrow

More work in progress pics later in the weekend ... gotta go sleeeeeep now.

 

[Guest]

Looking very good

Very nice Wong. Hope I have addressed you correctly.

Very interesting as my next few projects are armoured vehicles although in Afganistan also my first. So hope to pinch a few tips here.

Laurie.

 

[Wong Ryan]

hope to see your build soon Laurie

Excellent paintwork so far looking really good!

 

[Wong Ryan]

Thank you for the comment people ... here are some progress pics

I primed the tank with black ...

some close up pics ... some areas need to be cleaned up later

The tank has side skirting/fenders, that are painted black. Any suggestions on how to weather black colored surface?

Thank you.

Coming along nicely mate, the chipping is jaw dropping and looks very realistic.

 

[Guest]

I`m with the rest of the guys, this is excellent, really looking forward to seeing more of this build

 

[Wong Ryan]

Slowly but steady progress ... air brushed the side skirt, and test fitted. Also installed the wheels, with "baking powder" as mud ...

Next step will be a coat of future, and decals followed by wash and filter.

Cheers ...

Tracks on ... mud effect later .... time to catch some zzzzzzzzzz first ...

 

[Guest]

The base is magnificent. With the weathering will be a masterpiece

 

[Wong Ryan]

tq pinkpanther...hopefullu i don't screw up the weathering process

 

[Wong Ryan]

The mud effect added ...

On my test run in an old model kit, somehow the mud wouldn't stick to a "Future" coating.

Therefore, the mud on this tank is added prior to a coat of Future.

There was a fellow modeller that built the gasoline tank with Red + White stripe ... I am going to do the same and see if it highlight the model even more.

Here comes ...

That is all for now. Time to catch some zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
