Mrs PlaStix Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 Here's what I found hidden in Stix's Stash... Here goes nothing! My first (and probably last) tank build - onward and downwards!!! 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs PlaStix Posted August 27, 2017 Author Share Posted August 27, 2017 Right, quick up date - it seems to be going okay - and a lot of fun - Pause to make Bacon Omelette for family member... then onward! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrie Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 Good start, oooh a bacon omelette, everyones food through this blitz build is mouthwatering, we are good to ourselves on here.

Mrs PlaStix Posted August 27, 2017 Author Share Posted August 27, 2017 Thought it was time for a quick update: All seems to be progressing okay (but I've never tried to complete anything in 24 hrs. so time will tell!) Comments and suggestions welcomed as ever... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SleeperService Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 Comments: You're doing great just more of the same. Suggestions: Can I come to your place for next year's BlitzBuild. I've just lobbed my scrambled egg in the bin. Put the sprues, instructions and such back in the box and return to the stash. Ex-Girlie could remove chocolate from the packet, refold the paper and have the empty back in the cupboard in less than three minutes. Very, very annoying. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mrs PlaStix Posted August 27, 2017 Author Share Posted August 27, 2017 Well, I'm just about done for the day - it's been very interesting, I've learnt how to use a spray can, bit scary and a lot less controllable than just using a brush... but it was quite exciting. I've dry-brushed the tracks with Gunmetal. Well lots more to do tomorrow - It's meant to be really warm so at least I won't feel too guilty about doing the kit instead of the garden or other household tasks... 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SleeperService Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 That's the spirit Mrs P. Great work so far. It'll be cooler at Christmas (unless you're hanging on to the bottom of the planet that is). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdrianMF Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 Looks fab so far! I see it has the same economy with wheels as the Sherman too. Does the Plastix family run entirely on eggs? I think we need to know. Regards, Adrian 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs PlaStix Posted August 28, 2017 Author Share Posted August 28, 2017 So it all starts again, last night I managed to give it an Anthracite wash so this was what I came down to: 9 hours ago, AdrianMF said: Looks fab so far!

Regards, Adrian Thanks Adrian! if you refer back you will see that Mr P is not a consumer of eggs, just ham sandwiches...I just like the simplicity and versatility of the humble egg. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've decided that the Sherman is probably the easiest or more straightforward kit to build - the Tiger is more fiddly and awkward 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
