AfV Club Churchill Mk VII 1/35
Jasper dog replied to Jasper dog's topic in Work in Progress - Armour
I'm thinking it needs something, doesn't have the "thing", whateverthat might be....🤔 Contrast, I think it needs more contrast to be interesting. Not sure I went light enough or specific enough to do achieve what I'd hoped. Or, I could just be over thinking it and need to see it under better lighting. In the mean time I've put a few track links together, a few spots of CA are needed to hold some pins in situ but otherwise.... it's a set of Fruils. Sat in front of the telly last night with the good lady wife to watch Hunted, she's full of a cold so I guess it's only a matter of time... I think it's the robustness and articulation I like about metal links and of course the weight. Ttfn. -

Steady on old boy. Now anything I do is going to be a massive disappointment. (That's exactly what the wife says as well!) Tbh I haven't really read the brief, story of my life too, but my guess is, essentially, anything Tiger or Tiger related, as long as it was a real thing, no WIFs. So, to that summary and I want super simple, (just like...) I'm thinking Tamiya, or early Dragon... Hang on we're getting there. From the stash and probably minimal AM, let's check on this statement at the end of the build. From memory of what's there... Dragon Ferdinand Tamiya Elephant, complete with big Ts own self adhesive zimm decals. Tamiya Sturmtiger, would need zimm I think. Academy Kingtiger but I've read someone else might have that in mind. Meng Kingtiger, again with Mengs own zimm decals. RFM Tiger 1, initial production, chance to use the Fruil mirror tracks. (Keep in mind I reserve the right to find something completely different and do that instead). All that said, what could be easier than a Ferdinand? (Meng KT in horrific red??) Anyway, this Churchill wont paint itself, neither will the dog walk himself or will yesterday's, now rain-fillid, hole back fill itself... Darryl

For F.... sake you promised not to let on!

An excellent start and build review of the RFM kit. Looking forward to seeing it progress. Cheers Darryl

If anyone was to have any I'd assumed you would! Not to worry a couple of hours with a 5ft bar did the job. Sure I've seen, fairly recently, someone doing AM fascines... I'd have been disappointed by anything less! -
IDF M1, based on an M4A1 Hull. 1/35th scale.

Every build an education! Great watching it come together with all the extra detail 👍 Atb Darryl -
Very good Roger, as I like to say this isn't a race. NATO green is as good as any other as a base. 👍 Atb Darryl

Helpful as ever! I doubt I'd be allowed it's more than 25% built.... I've built an RFM Tiger, lovely kit and have at least 3 more but I fancy the new Normandy boxing, bound to be an improvement on the ancient Takom kit being bandied about . However, I'd never complete that in the time available and be able to barrack fellow builders. However I have an idea...

I knew someone would go there and I had a hunch who it would be... Oooooooo, I hadn't considered that one, the facine carrier.... Well it was probably feeding time for Dan, so I guess the fried potato delight wouldn't have been far from his thoughts! Thanks Roger, nothing like piling on the pressure! It's like feeding time at the zoo around here! Only looking good "now"......you mean..... Sorry Echen young Bob beat you to it! Thanks chaps, this is at least as much fun as the daft thing itself! And really appreciate all the sensible bits too, makes me want to crack on! Unfortunately this flippin tree stump wont remove itself, anyone got any spare det cord? Cheers Darryl -

Let me just check, having just glanced through the Tiger GB thread, you have a need to go shopping...... Thanks chaps, as one likes to please..... Base coat of SCC15 layed down in preparation for further faffing. The eagle eyed might spotted a new addition to the kit!- 182 replies

Suppose I'd better have a thunk about what to build.... 🐘/🐂

Sure it must have been intact at one point. Nope still not buying another Tiger.....did some mention the upcoming RFM kit!!!

Absolutely outstanding MD, love the attention to detail. Every element you add is so well done, the lamp post, signs, figures, all superb. The finesse of the weathering is perfect, from the choice to colour to the size and scale of the chipping. And of course the figure work is equally good. What colour/colours have you used for the bare metal chips on the hatches and the spare track links? It really catches the look of the original. Great work Darryl

Great start Kristjan, looks super neat and crisp. Atb Darryl
