M10 Wolverine 1/48 Tamiya
ModelMonkey replied to Sebastian _SJM's topic in Ready for Inspection - Armour
Nicely done! That is a well loaded vehicle. I hope they don't go over too many bumps! 🙂 -
RSO Tractor Russia Peerless 1/35
ModelMonkey replied to MVTB's topic in Ready for Inspection - Armour
Delicious! I built the Tomy boxing about ten years ago after picking it up at a show. One of my fave vehicles and you've done a great job. I just know the upcoming Miniart new tool will be a mass of tiny pieces requiring infinite patience but I'll find it hard to resist... -
Tamiya 1/35 Sherman "Easy Eight"
ModelMonkey replied to alexb2611's topic in Ready for Inspection - Armour
Looks great! Good weathering and definitely agree re commander - that matte finish on his jacket is spot on. Tiny point but it looks like the tracks could do with a bit of adjustment tomget the drive sprocket sat through the gaps in the track nicely. Maybe a wee pull round if they're not glued on. Doesn't detract from an excellent first model though! -
One of the wonders of the modern age! 😁

Thanks John. I decided a few months back that everything I build would have a wee story or at least a human element to it. No more buttoned up tanks sat on the shelf on their own. If nothing else then at least a human for scale - and if there's a bit of narrative there then so much the better!

Awesome! For me this is now the definitive weathered Corsair. I can definitely see me doing one at some point.- 29 replies

Thanks Keef! I enjoyed this one - something a bit more playful than usual.
-
Not the sort of thing you see often no! I'm pleased with the outcome over all, thanks.
-
Thanks! None of the extras are attached so opportunity for a bit of a refresh down the line.
-
Thanks - yours looks really bad - but in a good way! If I was doing another one I'd go for something really battered I - think. And your one would be a great inspiration!

Enjoyed this one - one of 6 or 7 completions last year. Extras from the spares box, with the washing line content from AliExpress, as was "Jennifer" the mechanic. I couldn't think of a way to disguise the fact I'd just superglued the washing line to the window so I figured as a practical lass then Jennifer would maybe just opt for some gaffer tape! Seeing them on the big screen I'm reminded that good photography is just as important as the construction & painting! I'll get there in the end... 😀

The finish looks great! You've really captured a metallic sheen.

Fab! Favourite vehicle of all time! I've an Airfix boxing on the shelf and am a tiny bit through the frankly terrifying KFS 1:24 scale multimedia kit.
