Fishbed Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 This is now about as done as its going to get. I will make a base for it at some point, just waiting for a figure to go with it. The track is the wrong type, so if I ever get any of the early/heavy type I will swap it over. Looking at the photos of this tank I now notice that the bolts on the side were missing, but I'm not going back to change it now. Mostly out the box, the only tweak was to remove the blast plates over the front fenders, and replace with some of the spare decking that come in the kit that is for the turreted version. Some careful cutting to get this done, but saves having to buy a resin replacement. Tim 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fishbed Posted July 18, 2014 Author Share Posted July 18, 2014 Excellent finish.....What did you use to build up the dust on the running gear please? First was a spray of thin light grey and another with thinned brown (any generic colour will do). Then I used some of the Humbrol weathering powers to build up layers of dust/dirt. I used the dark brown and white powders mixed in different amounts to get the effect I wanted. Some powers went on wet (easier to streak) and some dry for the dusty look. The tracks were sprayed with Halfords grey primer (even this does not stick well to the vinal tracks). Then heavy washes of black oil paint and burnt umber. Some of the above powders were added to tie them into the body work. Then a pencil was rubbed over the tracks to high-light the work areas. Hope this helps Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
