Yeoman1942 Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 (edited) First RFI post, first PE, First Pigments, you get the idea. Just finished this build with / for my son who is mad about Hetzers since playing World of tanks and watching Combat Dealers. Enjoyable build, I had a few problems locating the front drive. I had to fiddle with the tracks but I think they look pretty good. Paint wise I used Vallejo acrylics, washes and a hint of wilder textured earth. I have gone for a used but not worn out look. I am trying to apply what I have picked up from all the amazing builds on the site. Things have really changed since I last build models, definitely for the better. Apologies for the photography but it's taken on my phone. I'll try and get some better shots tomorrow.

PlaStix Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 That looks great. Well done. Hope you are enjoying the Centurion build..........I found mine a little......... 'taxing' in places! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yeoman1942 Posted February 15, 2016 Author Share Posted February 15, 2016 (edited) Thanks PlaStix Agree on the Centurion, I built the suspension on Sunday and had to dig deep to get numbers 5 and 6 completed. Fun but I got the feeling there was not much of a margin for error. That said it does look good. I've just twigged I followed the whole of your RAAC Cent WIP. A truly inspiring build. If mine turns out 1/2 as well I'll be well chuffed Edited February 15, 2016 by Yeoman1942 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
