  1. Hi all!
    Since finishing the previously started models was impossible, I had to start another one. And oddly enough, this is not the first time this has happened... :happy:
    So, at this time It is Hetzer from Takom:

    About the kit
    Pros: This kit has no interior and is pretty basic. All the pieces fit together perfectly so far...
    Cons: The plastic is very soft and elastic, carving it is a real pain!

     

    I want to make this Hetzer look seriously beat up, so I started with the fun and most enjoyable - destroying the model's well-made and accurate parts.

     

    One wheel damaged by an explosion:

    Damaged front fender:

    The damaged rear left fender and toolbox:

    I decided to make the right rear fender heavily battered. To do this I glued on a few pieces of excess plastic:

    Carving the damages. Beginning:

    The right fender is finished :

    The same right fender from another side:

    I added a more raised texture to the casted parts and front panel and glued a number. The numbers from the Tamiya sprue label:

  2. Hi all,

    You probably already thought that you had finally gotten rid of this construction project, which proceeded like in a very slow-motion movie, but you were out of luck. I promise to continue to torture you in the future. And these are not empty threats, look at this, it's five-month my activity :rofl:

    I finished making boxes for Li.Spr.80.
    The frames of the boxes are made from aluminum tin from wine cork.
    The black stains look terrible, they are from black CA glue, but I hope after painting, they won't be seen.

  3. Looks really great!
    Especially all the small details - smoke grenades, cables, wires, locks on drawers, etc. Painting and weathering are also excellent.

    On Saturday author of this model and I were drinking coffee, and this tank was on the table, so I had the great pleasure of examining it in detail.
    Since I was lucky enough to see this model live, I can say that it really looks great, much better than in the photos

    They're not as glacial as mine!🥴

    We could both be in the running for a prize echen - 'And the winner of the slowest build of the decade competition goes to....'  :wink:

     

    Wait a minute, why only both? Do not think that this prize will be so easy for you to get, I am more than a serious competitor! :rofl:

     

    The wheel really looks amazing, and you have chosen the vehicle to build very well. And it could have been much worse...
