discussion Tamiya 1/48 M10 Tank Destroyer

[frea]

Hello all,

I'm back into modelling after a very very long break (30+ years).

I started off with Tamiya M10 Tank Destroyer 1/48.

It was quite hard to start again but I enjoyed every moment, from tutorials to building, painting and weathering.

I'm going to publish some photos, please let me know what you think and what I could have done better.

Thanks.

Fabio

Nice one Frea, good and dusty to. The pictures do not show how small this is in 1:48, looks much bigger. Very well done bare metal worn edges to, really looks the part. Welcome back to the best hobby there is. Looking forward to seeing what else you do.

30+ year break????? I think you are misleading us here Fabio, your workmanship definitely does not show you're out of practice! Very nice work!

Thanks a lot gents for your comments

Those jerry cans looked a bit odd with nothing holding them up to the hull so last night I made a mod using common office staples cut to size, a bit of drilling and lots of patience!

Here are some pics, of course now those holders requires painting and weathering:

Great build Fabio. Nice little trick with the staples as well.

Only one tip from me, well OK two.

Change the date stamp on your © stamp. LOL and post more of your builds.
