Jim Wasley Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 Finished this Tamiya kit in no time,had to be the easiest tank I have built,kept the paint work very simple just wanted to represent a bit of a dusty tank with little if no mud,and heavy wear around the hatches also placed some items around the tank just for added interest,all will come off when it goes on the shelf.I put up a pic of the figure that came with it and I have to say he has the happiest face I have ever painted on a figure(should not have been so happy if he knew I was going to paint him),also enclosed a pic of the real deal,that gave me some inspiration.Thanks. 22 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackMax12 Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 Looks good Jim, the minimal weathering is right on. Yep, he seems rather happy, must have been something special in that paint. Lloyd 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingsman Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 Oh, I do like that. Hope mine turns out even half as good. Those that made it off the beach only ventured a few miles inland and only until about D+10, so didn't have the chance to get too mucky. Photos seem to show dusty. Are those the kit decals around the turret, or did you go for the Bison/Star or Peddinghaus sets? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robgizlu Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 Fab rendition - like everything about it - restrained weathering, great finish with superbly laid decals and a very pleasing SCC2 tone. Rob 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PlaStix Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 That is really excellent Jim! I really like the paintwork effects and finish. I'm going to have to get me one of those! Very well done. Kind regards, Stix 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badder Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 Super job, Jim. What everyone else said, except I'd like to ask where you got the chain from? Rearguards, Badder 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bullbasket Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 First class Jim. Centaur is one of my favourite tanks and the Tamiya kit is really good. Having seen this, I might get my shelf queen out when I get back home. John. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Das,sure yours will be better,and I used the Tamiya decals that came with the kit,set them with Micro-Set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
