Plastic Bonsai Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 Well I just have to try another. A quick browse in my local Hobbycraft and I picked a non-aircraft subject. I hadn't seen a build on this though I think there are accuracy issues but its a recent mold. Has it got the tracks like the Cromwell? Nope. Oh well you can't win 'em all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plastic Bonsai Posted April 8, 2016 Author Share Posted April 8, 2016 (edited) I'm keen to try the undercoat and then paint on top idea. The chassis and turret went together well and painted all over with the light sand colour. Some bits painted better than others.

specky Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 Hi PB, Like yourself, I was rather disappointed to find 'rubber bands' in the box, but it shouldn't be too much of a problem with the shrouded upper run and it has the 'better' looking Porsche turret Best of luck Craig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plastic Bonsai Posted April 9, 2016 Author Share Posted April 9, 2016 A quick hour this morning applying a second coat and getting the boogies on and one has disappeared into the realms of the Carpet Monster. Slight disaster. I spilt the paint water and soaked the decal sheet so I've put then on and hope I can paint around them with the other camoflage colours. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I make sure I put them away safe for just that reason. Only took me 30 years to learn... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plastic Bonsai Posted April 14, 2016 Author Share Posted April 14, 2016 (edited) Brian Thanks for the offer but I've managed. Final stretch. I didn't appear to loose a boogie after all, I think the instructions have confused a couple of part numbers. I could get the tracks to link and they didn't go around the main drive wheel either but maybe the skirt will hide them... It appears so though the hull fit at the front was tight. Added the small details Painted on the camoflage, not going for really solid patches and it looks a bit sprayed on as the box art suggests and a final thin black wash to bring the detail up a bit. Finished! The tracks are a dissappointment but overall not too bad a model and a nice change from wingy things.
