BeeKay Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 I grabbed this kit at the Scottish National Show last year as a "something different" subject and when I looked in the box, I was horrified to see the quality and thickness of the plastic. When bit the bullet towards the end of 2013 I was really suprised how well this kit fell together but was worried about the tracks. I thought I would give them a go rather than spent twice what I had paid for the kit on metal tracks. Although not totally authentic, again they fit quite well and glued no problem with my favored MEK. Rather than a plain base I chose to carve up a piece of Kingspan and glue it to a base and have a little fun. The black needs touching in around the edge of the foam before this gets an outing this year, but should be on display at our first visit to a show in 2014 at Huddersfield, where the club will be displaying again. I hope you enjoy the result. Thanks again for looking. Brian 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kuro Nezumi Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 Absolutely superb! The streaking and the rust are just simply incredible! Brilliant work of art! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murdo Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 I like that very much. The weathering, muck and rust look very realistic and is beautifully done! It's a surprisingly big tank when you see it next to other 1/35 vehicles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HL-10 Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 You've done a lovely job! Great build with very effective weathering, and the base is most impressive as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeeKay Posted January 9, 2014 Author Share Posted January 9, 2014 Cheers guys, this won't be the last Emhar kit I will be having a go at - I think the WW1 subjects will be quite popular this year and I quite fancy the Tadpole - now that is BIG!

Simon Williams Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 I'm not usually a fan of WW1 stuff but that's very nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KAYELL Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 I have seen you build this beauty from the start. The weathering is (IMHO) just right and the groundwork sets it off. Superb! K Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
