MrBurns Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 (edited) Is that complete, built, and then you paint the entire tank minus what is not there? Edited February 12, 2014 by MrBurns Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beefy66 Posted February 12, 2014 Author Share Posted February 12, 2014 Mr Burns the tank is not yet completed still a lot to do this will be a build log showing my progress so far and what I have added to the base kit working on correcting the weld seams at the minute as most kits come with the hull welds as reassessed but in fact they are not so I,am in the process of filling in the gap with plastic rod and using a heat needle adding the weld texture when I have done this I will then add the tools and some Legends stowage then paint and weathering before making up the tracks and adding those.

Peter Lloyd Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 The tracks on that beast are epic. Beware also the front sprocket position: I lowered the sprocket on mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beefy66 Posted February 12, 2014 Author Share Posted February 12, 2014 Peter thanks for the advice will have a look into that cheers Small update with weld seams added and some extra track armour on the front plate this track is from the Legends stowage set. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KAYELL Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 Lovely build mate. Nice subtle weathering there and just enough Stowage for its depiction of 2-3 days off the beaches IMHO. I don't suppose you painted it with a type of paint beginning with V did you! Excellent work. Cheers Big K Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeeKay Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 Lovely job again there Keith - those "V" paints you're using are getting some hammer, you'll be topping them up shortly. Seriously though mate, it's looking great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
