OK, time to start my thread, I'm snowed under at present with models, work, and my garden, but I've been so looking forward to this, I'm building a 1/35 zvezda king tiger henschel turret, no zimmerit, when I bought the kit, probably 2 years ago I found on opening the box the Hull bottom was horribly warped, twisted , I actually started work on attempting to straighten it during the panzer gb, using boiling water a hair dryer and a razor saw around some of the suspension arm inserts, to relieve some of the twist, on the inside of the hull, I can report its a 95% fix, the other 5% I'm hoping will be sorted upon bonding the upper and lower hulls together, the kit is actually dragon molds originally, early, granted, and basic, Scalemates helped to identify it so I Could spruce the old banger up with a couple of pe sets, I'm unsure of the scheme, I'll be doing I like the ambush camo and I did notice the knight on the horse, that's already being built in the gb, progress is expected in fits and starts at first, some pictures Cheers

Hi All, This is the first armour model i have built since getting back into the hobby. I got this about 4 years ago and started pretty much immediately gluing bits together. Then i got stalled on working out how to paint it as the tracks are injection moulded and i couldnt figure out if i could build them up around the wheels and then slip the whole lot off to paint. Well eventually just before christmas i found the kit again,had a go and found it you could so got myself out of the rut and started again, only took 4 years to work it out!! The kit is really nicely detailed out of the box, the only bits i added were the track hangers from a beer can and the mesh grilles over the rear deck made from a cafetiere filter that was rescued from the bin, you know when something looks useful - now i know where my 7 year old daughter gets it from when she says dont throw it away we could make it into something whenever theres a cardboard tube etc about to go into the bin... I had loads of fun weathering it, armour paintwork is much more forgiving than aircraft, i used a mix of pastels, oils and sponge chipping. Keen to get a bigger one now! On with the pics and hope you like, an C&CC appreciated, cheers Stu
