discussion Zvezda SU - 100 1/35 SCALE & BM truck

[Guest]

John,
I use Tamyia extra thin to thin out and brush over the joint to smooth it.

Thanks Paul. I'm assuming it will work when the Squadron Green has cured as well ?

Sorry for my lateness John, just scanned the whole business and I must say you are really doing this one up!
Will be chiming in more often for sure.

Keep up the good work! :thumb2:

Jim

Hi Jim, always glad to have you along :thumb2:

John.
Not sure I haven't tried that. Hopefully one of the other guys can answer that.

Nice update JR. Looking forward to seeing how you weather the ammo boxes. Did they come with any decals??

 

[Strenko J]

JR , finally Just read through this thread, a great bit of scratchery going on here I like the tarp and all of the other accessories that are being put on. I also recently tried the paper fold liquid stuff and like the way it performed as well. That base looks REALLY great.... that bench seems to be staying somewhat tidy..lol...but you may have to tie up the rabble and secure them with some cargo ties in the back of that truck to keep them in line..

Sorry for missing this till now John.
Great work on the BM and Su, love the scratch built bed:thumb2:.
Neat base for those two too:smiling:

Thanks Paul, well I had a go and it seems to work, did think his arm might fall off where it was just plastic to plastic :smiling2: but seems ok.

Hi Steve.
Thanks, yes came with decals.



Someone is going to have fun wrapping those around the shells:surprised: Some I think are for the boxes as well .

Hi Joe , good to see you, oh the Rabble have been quite good recently, think the thought of a visit from Matron has kept them in check.:smiling: As to the bench its not been clean for that long, give it a week or two. Jim's spies are everywhere to I have to be careful

Sorry for missing this till now John.

Steve the Gods of Decals were with me.
Using a pipet, bit of tile, and as little water as possible I only lost one !




Bit more work done to the base.


Comments welcome.
Thanks for looking in .

Hi John
Shells look good. You are a master of the landscape - must be your interest in gardening. Any news on your ferns.

[minitnkr]

Some impressive work John. PaulE

 

[Allen Dewire]

Top Work Dude 2, but I thought I warned you about using blocks of Swiss Cheese to work on while decaling things. After a while, they start to stink and turn green!!!......

 

[BigGreg]

wow that is beautiful...and plus the idea for re-arming and re-fueling is great.... LUVELY and i'm really curios to see mooore.. ;-)

 

[Steven000]

Nice progress John! :thumb2:

Andy.

 

[Lee Drennen]

John. Great job on shell and your dio is looking good as well

Wow JR those rounds came out nice. I did notice quite a bit of difference in the length of them, I assume the ones that are longer are AP rounds and the shorter are HE? At any rate, there had to have been quite a bit of "free bore" between the gun chamber and where the rifling begins. That's something I didn't know until now. Learn something everyday.
