Brews Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 I made a start on this yesterday, while I was painting the wheels for the Saladin, I thought I might as well paint the wheels on this as well, and it progressed from there. I briefly toyed with the idea of using my Aber workable hinges to attach the turret commander's hatch, but I gave up. KISS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brews Posted May 18, 2008 Author Share Posted May 18, 2008 Progress pic: I tweezerpulted part No 45, which is the nearside front shock absorber, I think. I'm scratching a replacement consisting of a 2mmlong trapezium in 15 thou card, and a couple of rod sections, to be mounted concentrically. Somepastels applied for weathering, no washes yet, and some details to be painted. Undecided about the amount of stowage to add, because some of it will hide quite-nicely-moulded-on details.

Brews Posted May 26, 2008 Author Share Posted May 26, 2008 (edited) Pardon the colour balance - blame it on the CFL! Better pics soon, I promise. These ones show the oil wash in progress (not dried yet!). I'm pleased that the camera shows that my scratch-building effort in replacing Part 45 was satisfactory. I don't know how well you'll be able to pick it up, but I punched a small circle of clear acetate and covered the searchlight with it.

Brews Posted May 26, 2008 Author Share Posted May 26, 2008 (edited) I'd better put decals on before I do any more weathering! I meant to do that after I'd Kleared! Edit: Pics as promised. What a difference some daylight makes. Edited May 26, 2008 by Brews Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
