FrancisGL Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 Go forward, I'm sorry I lost this, but I see you've taken advantage of the time ... lol, has radically changed the look of the vehicle, very nice for my taste ...

Soeren Posted January 26, 2018 Author Share Posted January 26, 2018 Thank you Francis. Yes, the camo really changed to look of the vehicle. Also the application of oil paints for color modulation is real fun. You almost cant do it wrong. And it is easy to fix if you don't like it . I will have to see how it looks in the daylight on the weekend. But it seems to look ok already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soeren Posted January 26, 2018 Author Share Posted January 26, 2018 While waiting for the Type to dry I went at the Patton wiht the oily stuff. Various browns and the Faded green mixed at random ratios of light grey and intermixed again and rubbed into the surface. Should look great after a filter and pinwash now. On the side are the tracks for the Type. PA Track Primer, some grey and then random blotches brown/red wash and then burnt umber alone. Tried lighter fuel as a solvent. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soeren Posted February 3, 2018 Author Share Posted February 3, 2018 Hi there been busy with work. Now the Patton wiht decals and a wash of 502 Industrial Earth. That color is perfect for Olive Drab. Unfortunately, altghough I gave it a varnisch coat after oil painting, the AK Odourless thinner seemed to get through that and now I have some stains in the paint, some look like scratches, other not so much. Again something to think about :/ Â Â 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soeren Posted February 3, 2018 Author Share Posted February 3, 2018 And here is the Type 59 with wheels and Tracks. The weathering so far, MIG Dry Steppe Splashes applied as sand wash. to the lower area. Â Â 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hewy Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 Beautifully built and painted, all of them, the patton stands out but i also have a soft spot for the chieftain, of which i have a mk5 in the stash, which is very close to the top of the to do list, that i want to in the berlin urban scheme, parts of this wip will come in very handy Glynn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soeren Posted February 6, 2018 Author Share Posted February 6, 2018 Thank you very much Glynn Everything turned out very different from what I initially expected. But that is still interesting to see the own progress in relation to initial expectations. I am not unhappy with the results overall, although the reactions of the paint can be a bit disheartening sometimes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrancisGL Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 (edited) Fantastic work with the M47, personally I see a great resemblance to mine (on the left in tiny), although since I finished it until now, watching yours, I would change something, because now I have many more materials and a little more skill. Undoubtedly a great kit, I would have to change the tracks of mine some day ... Cheers Soeren Edited February 8, 2018 by FrancisGL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soeren Posted February 8, 2018 Author Share Posted February 8, 2018 Cheers Francis. Yours is a Takom Kit as well? Lesson learned here: Give oil paints even more time to cure before the next step. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lesson learned here: Give oil paints even more time to cure before the next step. I do not know if you will say it for this, but it has happened to me that since I'm not dry enough, I've lost a bit in places ... no, my kit is an oldie, Italeri's, which was kept in the closet by about 15 years, and after returning to the hobby, I gave him a chance, or he gave it to me ... lol. I do not know if you have seen or are interested, but below this post, there is a link with your WIP and RTI thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soeren Posted March 4, 2018 Author Share Posted March 4, 2018 And here is the Type 59 as of now. I tried a dusting by oil paints this time. I see, there are still some sections to do... But will do that as soon as the vigniette will be made. At least the tone variation in the camo paints is still visible. Â Â Â Â Â 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soeren Posted April 1, 2018 Author Share Posted April 1, 2018 Good Morning, I would like to share a recent kit I am working on. As always the turret was finished first. It is the Drakom kit Drak-P55A a Panther-55A, that was a secret weapon an only two prototypes build on the dark side of the moon between 1946 and 1947    Happy Easter to you all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soeren Posted April 16, 2018 Author Share Posted April 16, 2018 Hi there, after the Panther build I came back to this nice little Takom kit. Again a T-54 derivative. Compared to the Type 59 kit this is a whole different story. Much more detail. Many multi piece parts to add. The turret consists of 100 parts+ with all the stuff put up. The fender was a breeze to build compared to that. Â I hope the forums will be more stable now. Â 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soeren Posted April 21, 2018 Author Share Posted April 21, 2018 Â Oh nooooooo. Now I have to start over again. Well, at least the T55AM2B is mostly done now. Because of the side skirt I will have to paint the bottom before putting it together. Â 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BurgMark Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 Ha - great - maybe i can see all the pictures again then (looks like a lot have disappeared). Was actually looking for myself as I have one of the Mk 2s in stash and am hoping to do the black and green pattern... Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soeren Posted May 15, 2018 Author Share Posted May 15, 2018 (edited) Hi there, I too k some time to prime thr tracks and do tools and all the tools for the Patton. Also sitting in the board for about 2 months, the paint aged a bit. Not much to do now, I will keep it clean most likely only a bit of dust and rainstreaks.

FrancisGL Posted May 19, 2018 Share Posted May 19, 2018 It looks awesome!!!, very good work done so far...i love the M47, especially nice (on the inside) the tracks. I definitely have to change mine ... Cheers mate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soeren Posted May 29, 2018 Author Share Posted May 29, 2018 Cheers Francis, Â went ahead on the tracks to finally finish this tank and gave em a dry brush of first Vallejo rust and slowly highlighted with Vallejo Tan Earth. Painted track pads on the one track. Might give am e wash before final highlights though. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrancisGL Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 These tracks looks perfect!, when they are weathered, sure looks fantastic.... Cheers Soeren 👍 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soeren Posted June 3, 2018 Author Share Posted June 3, 2018 I guess this one is a tester and will never be finished. Realized from pictures on the web that the complete pads were rubber inside and outside, not just the outside Chevrons. So repaint of around 180 x 2 x 2 pads to paint 🤓. Oh, how I like all metal tracks.  Then again, I revisited the paintjob and spend several quarter Hours over the last days, whenever getting to the bench, to add some oil dicoloration here and there. Painted in some shadows, some grime, and what not.  When I see it correctly, this tank was never used by the USA in Combat? At least this one is stated to be based at Detroit in 1951. So when at all, it would have been a testfield tank? Would late 1945 US Army guys be suitable for a Scenario?       3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
