Nice Mon,
by the way are you still working on moby dick or have i missid it?.

ta Barry so pleased your liking this one so far,


no you have not missed any Moby Dick,as I went to pickup the rest to day from


Nic as he said would have ready for me,and true to his word it all was,


plus I do try to go and have a chat each week with him and the lads,its


a nice brake for me,for a few hrs,

well been a longish type of day,when out ,but manage to get this far on this girl,so very happy with


my progress so far,and in some eyes maybe a little to much damage to the skirts ,but that's what there for to take damage,


and its a bit of fun half way into the paint and weathering as well,i do enjoy seeing that German cross on the side of a big of armor


well


so I do hope your liking it so far,


as I,m enjoying this build alot,

cant believe how quick you are!


last time i had checked the thread you had just took the lid off the box!


looking great so far

 

[Razzie43]

Good job,like it

 

[Guest]

Looking good.

 

[monica]

ta ,Paul,Razzie,Ralph,so glad that you all are liking it so,


next stage is the weathering and adding some of the bits and bobs ,but a few at the very end,


the longer fiddly part,

 

[monica]

well as this one was moving very quickly,


and I got side tracked,but 28mm figures as I do,


I sat down and started the weathering of her,she has had a very bad day,in the defense of Stalingrad ,


A real nice thing by posting your progress you can see your mistakes,yes that's right,


as the camera picks up what the eye dose not,I can see were i,need to retouch up and alter things,


I replace the plasic tow ropes with wire ones,so much better to do more with,as I used them to,


help hold on the skirts that have been damaged, works well,


well hope your liking it so far,start all the unfinished bits and bots one glue has set,


and I ,do enjoy seeing were I can put all the gear were its not meant to be a bit of fun as all German tanks


have so much gear hanging about,

Fantastic build and paint job from the tank expert down under. I love the weathering and battle damage you have created, it's something I've never been good at ( armour) but seeing this really eggs me on .


Love it


Regards


Robert

 

[monica]

ta Robert so glad your liking it,so far,and for the so very nice comments,


I look at a lot of pic,s of the tank I,m working on,and you can see the battle damage or the harshness


of the conflict there been in,and work from that,


if its any help and just try,maybe not so much at the start work more on color and camo,then go ahed ,as you get the feel for them,

 

[Razzie43]

Excellent work,that you use the cameraeye to make it 100% better...


That's what i call ,you never done...you always gonna see something(like me)


Specialy when you post some old projects

 

[Guest]

Nice weathering,brings out all the work you have done so far

 

[Guest]

Wow, that's really looking great Monica, you really are a fast worker, and that damage looks very realistic. Weathering id looking spot on too, can't wait to see this finished!

 

[monica]

ta all for your very nice comments so glad that your liking it so far,

 

[Guest]

You are a machine Monica, where do you get your inspiration from.


p.s. GREAT WORK

 

[monica]

ta Derek,so glad your liking this one so far,


I just real like German amour and watch a lot of Doco,s and pic,s on the subject,

 

[Guest]

Looking very nice Moni, lots of interesting stuff to see!


But please, not the defense of Stalingrad! That's too early for your camo scheme - sorry, but my Rivet Counter head can't ignore that one!
