robw_uk Posted February 4, 2016 Author Share Posted February 4, 2016 ha... never seen Fury so it wont be that, just a plain easy-8, some stowage on the front and back, maybe on the turret too who knows, and may be i will try netting again..... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robw_uk Posted February 10, 2016 Author Share Posted February 10, 2016 dont suppose anyone has any spare road wheels or decals appropriate for the Easy-8? just after 1 or 2 for stowage (and possibly decals more interesting than 4 white stars) or can recommend AM wheels/decals?

BruceG Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 I bought the 'new' Italeri E8, tempted by the stowage options for Fury. If anyone else is so tempted, don't bother. Most of it is as old as I am, dating back to the 1960's, with just a couple of new sprues for the HVSS suspension. Ho hum.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robw_uk Posted February 11, 2016 Author Share Posted February 11, 2016 (edited) still coming on nicely. Turret complete barring the machine gun mount & the gun but they will be placed after painting & weathering. Suspension done, wheels will be painted off the kit and then put on afterwards. Engine deck "furniture" in progress then I need to do the stuff on the front glacis, spare tacks and all the bracing down the side. Have had a few ideas on a little bit of scratch-building for fuel can mounting but will have to see if that makes sense.... and then need to look at supporting the front mounted stowage and placement for he rear stuff P2110145 by Robert Worth, on Flickr P2110143 by Robert Worth, on Flickr Edited February 11, 2016 by robw_uk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robw_uk Posted February 15, 2016 Author Share Posted February 15, 2016 (edited) progress.... build complete, just playing with sotwarge and a little scratched fuel-can holder... probably going to hang some more stowage off the turret, may even look to enhance the glacis piece with some sandbags )it just, IMHO doesnt look busy enough ;-)).... 12647062_10153550760822979_8126788137269384202_n by Robert Worth, on Flickr 12688092_10153548918522979_2003549409965744090_n by Robert Worth, on Flickr 12688303_10153548918457979_5748414901687100459_n by Robert Worth, on Flickr 12715354_10153550808357979_4573013993662055503_n by Robert Worth, on Flickr Edited February 15, 2016 by robw_uk 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PlaStix Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 Good to see more lovely progress Rob. I agree about stowage - it always brings these tanks to life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robw_uk Posted February 15, 2016 Author Share Posted February 15, 2016 Good to see more lovely progress Rob. I agree about stowage - it always brings these tanks to life. cheers Plas. what I dont know is whether to stick the stowage on before painting - always leave it off and wondering if i do home-made sandbags if taking them off & on is going to cause me problems 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
