    Looks interesting John. I had the pleasure of seeing one of these (the only one in India) and I was stunned. Mind if I tag along

    Further update: The 222 has taken off now, and I have done the chassis work. The wheels have also been done, but will be mounted only after painting. The lower body finished: And the wheels: Stay safe

    Now I plan to start the 222, and then they will be weathered together.

    Update time: I finished it and painted it (yes I know it is a horrible shade, but it will be tempered with a brown wash or two)4 With the roof on: Open top:

    Further update: The Wheels are done: The Bonnet The upper body is fully completed: And the lower body: I plan to not stick the body together until the painting is done, to ease it up. Any ideas etc. are welcom. Stay safe

    Got to work today. Fit is typical Tamiya, requiring minimum modification. My humble workstation The underside, beginning The drive shafts attached. Criticism and advice is welcome. Stay in, Stay safe

    Interesting subject. The subtle weathering is a nice touch.

    Thanks @Gorby. I couldn't agree more about grubby tanks. The only place for a clean tank is a parade (because it wouldn't reflect very well, if you were dropping mud on a state occasion)

    Thank you @Ernst. The track sag trick is one our workmen use when setting up vintage tanks for static display as often the tracks are very tight.

    Feeling a bit bored in lockdown, I decide to weather some of my older models. The WIP can be found here: I would like to thank everyone who gave advice, that made the once abhorred task of weathering rather pleasant. The photos follow: The T-62 A The T 34/76 The StuG IV

    @robw_uk and @Foxbat welcome. I plan to do the Horch first, then the 222

    Feeling a bit bored, I ordered these 2 online. Due to me being in an Orange Zone, these were delivered fairly quickly. The Sd.Kfz was cheap and included PE mesh and an aluminium barrel for the 2cm KwK, a nice deal and I felt it would go nicely with the Horch as a desert pair. For the weathering etc, I will be taking special inspiration from John Masters' 222 (I wonder how he gets anything done in that scale... His eyes are going for sure, while his sanity has already thrown up its hands at the sizes of models it has to work with.) The 2 boxes: The box shots: 1st is Horch & 2nd is 222 The light grey sprue is extra drums and Jerry cans. Sprue shots: Horch: 222 Please tell me what you think.

    Great pair John. I plan to do Tamiya's 1/35 222 and this will be used for inspiration.

    We've been told the weathering date, but I don't suppose you would mind telling us the date for firing (possibly onto the houses of annoying neighbors)? Looks amazing. Great work.
  16. Vaastav
    Looks splendid. Nice work.
  17. Vaastav
    Very nice. What scheme are you thinking?
  18. Vaastav
    Looks very real. Our Army has these as well, and you have got it spot on.
  19. Vaastav
    There. Now you've gone and given Gorby ideas. What have you got to say for yourself. Great work by the way
  20. Vaastav
    The StuG is done, and I am rather pleased with myself (if I may be so) about the result. Please do tell me what you think of it. They will be move to RFI in a bit. Stay in, Stay safe.
  21. Vaastav
    This is shaping up nicely. Great work.
  22. Vaastav
    And now ve drive off to find the verdammt Tommies. Great work Pierre.
  23. Vaastav
    The dust is spot on. Great work.

    Ok, so In weathering the body, I noticed that i had to paint the crosses. So i dredged up my semi existent fine painting skills and tried. I know the cross looks like it had one too many last night , but with weathering on it, the effect should be less. Criticism and advice is welcome. Stay in and stay safe

    Great camo scheme. I wonder if we will be able to spot it after the 3rd coat.
