A bit of a departure for me in the sense that it's a kit rather than a scratchbuild. A really lovely kit, that just flew together and was great fun. I really need to find a fresh scratchbuild project though - if all kits are as quick as this, I'll fill my entire boat with finished models within a few short months! All pretty much OOB - I replaced most of the gun barrels with brass tube and cut out one of the side panels, but that's it for customisation. Painted with Tamiya, and weathered with oil paints, pastels and graphite pencil.

Another day; another project! With my recent scratchbuild out of the way, it’s time for something new – a lovely 1/72 T-35 that my darling missus got me for Christmas. Compared to my scratch projects, this one has been progressing at an alarming pace, so apologies for not reporting in until now, when it’s almost finished! These kits pretty much build themselves don’t they…! The kit is lovely – nice, crisp detail and it all seems to go together really easily. I drilled out the main gun barrel, but made a mess of the smaller guns I’m afraid and didn’t even try the machine guns – tiny! Instead, I replaced the 37mm guns with 0.8mm brass tube, with the fat end from the original plastic guns and a piece of Tamiya tape for the mid-section. The machine guns were similarly scratch-built from 0.5mm brass, tiny slivers of tape and little scraps of plastic. Everything else is just OOB, although I’ve cut one of the side skirts to show off a section of the suspension, so one of the bogies has had some additional bracing added. The paint job started with an overall Halfords black fine surface primer with some white primer highlighting squirted on from above. This was followed by Tamiya NATO green (looked a reasonable match to me) with a touch of yellow/green added for the highlight areas. The separate engine louvre/cover was brush painted in grey enamel beforehand and hairsprayed to allow it to be chipped and some burnt sienna rust patina was added with oils after. After the main paint had dried, everything got a round of dark grey chips using my Kevin brush, and the details were picked out. Some of the stuff got painted on the sprues – tracks in dark grey, followed by acrylic rusty splodges, oil washes and graphite, and the headlights model-air steel with a blob of gorilla clear glue on top. I then coated everything with Klear using a flat brush, added the decals (nice and thin, but seemingly resistant to micro-sol) and went over the lot with a burnt umber wash with black detail pin wash. It’s all a bit dark now, but I’m hoping a round of drybrushing will lighten it up again a bit.

Whilst the build is finished, I've left off any real weathering as I've got plans to put this into a diorama, just undecided in which season to place it, although Winter is winning at the moment. So you will see this again. The build went really well until I came to put the side plates on, there are just too many contact points and they wouldn't all line up at the same time. But for the casual observer they will do. The decals also didn't like Microsol and set as they shrank back and split in places which had to be touched up with paint, although once weathered properly you won't see the problem areas.

Build 6 I've been waiting to get my hands on one of these for a few weeks, I picked one up in Antics today and started building just gone 7pm. The real tank was a bit of a beast, having 5 turrets and 11 crew! I'll post a comparison photo with my KV-1 & KV-2 tanks tomorrow. Price: £2.99 Antics. Box and sprue shots... Although there are photos of the T-35 without the radio aerial around the turret, I thought it looked a bit plain and decided to scratch build one. It's just copper wire as the supports and jewellery wire as the aerial. All parts cleaned up, and I've added shackles and the protruding ring around the co-axial gun. Just about to pop off and give it a wash so it's thoroughly dry before I prime it along with the KV-1 & KV-2 tomorrow.
