Get yer kits out.

Is it one of those Dragon ones?


yer right.

Its one of those warfenfeckhammerem wghatever ones with great big bombs on the side.The inclination mechanism is all ethched in copper sheet, how are they kiddin' themselves or me?

 

Working on my Italeri 1/72nd Valentine.
Added bedrolls, tarps and bail-out bags using Milliput and a stretched sprue aerial. Yes, I know it's a bit thick.
I'd chopped of the conical aerial-base from the turret , as I hope the sprue would replace it but hasn't quite worked.
Please feel free to pick holes, adds to the learning process.

That's not an aerial...it's a periscope!!! :wow: If you ask nicely (or threaten me with a screwdriver) I'll give yer some brass wire....

 

Just wondering about rust.
I know AFVs were out in all weathers but did they actually last long enough to gather the amount of rust depicted by some modellers?

Answer = NO

 

Ah, didn't think of that, doh!
You could've said that a few weeks ago, could've put it on me Matilda.

Anyway, from what I've seen, even with a circa 20 year break (you old git!) from modelling, you've not lost your touch....to be honest, you weren't really into AFV modelling so I'm even more impressed by what you're doing with them now. Fancy a job at Z-panzer?

 

Ataleri 1/72 ISU-122. Experment this time was the primer showing through the worn pate. So its only had one horrid thrown on coat of green and plenty of weathering. Did my normal trick of rubbing in the water colour pencil into the paint to give it thin metalic impression, and lots of washes on the undercarrige. A little bit of pastels. Very pleased with the primer though I think the camara has lost the difference between muck and the red led primer that you can see in the rela item and the tracks too, Ive spent more time on. Im thrilled. A lot of of the tools are missing too, hopefully it looks a bit 'lived in'.

Same tracks as Owen JS2 which are the worst bit, apart from that went together nice.

Thrilled. Hard to tell this is a tiny little 1/72nd.

 

I'll stop doing this now. Gettin like Kevs gallery. Go and watch football or go out being drunk or something.

 

Very nice Owen. Detail pls, What kits?

How you do that shine then looks nice and metalic.

 

Nice effort from you both; the Panzer grey looked good Owen.

I have just finished three Armourfast Shermans, just need to add some decals. Will do some photos when complete.

 

Modelling away on here now. all at it.
