HL-10 Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 Something slightly different, I have never built any French armour before this. Its straight out of the box, started on Friday finished today. Kit fell together, except for the tracks They're individual links that clip together. They are very small and fiddly for my sausage fingers, and they didn't want to stay together. Apart from the tracks, everything else with this kit was no problems, and it features a very nice cast texture to the main hull and turret. Tamiya acrylics used throughout, its my "Bank holiday build" temporary image hosting photo hosting sites imagur adult photo sharing upload foto adult image upload Thanks for looking 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keefr22 Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 That's very nice indeed! I really like the paint & weathering, & in particular how you've made everything look heavy & made of metal! Very nicely done! Keith 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Lancaster Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 I must admit, upon looking at the tracks myself, they are small! I like the way you got the pigment on the mud chutes, gives for a convincing look. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darby Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 Nice job and some lovely realistic metallic finishes on tracks and chains on what reminds me of a tank that looks like a mechanised slug; it must be it's shape 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HL-10 Posted May 6, 2015 Author Share Posted May 6, 2015 Nice job and some lovely realistic metallic finishes on tracks and chains on what reminds me of a tank that looks like a mechanised slug; it must be it's shape The metallic finish was achieved by just using a pencil and rubbing over the parts with it. Didn't you buy this at MK? Quick work sir! Having seen your AFV stuff on the BM table..awesome work Angelo Yes I did. The model fits together so well I built it in an evening! (Except for the tracks) Thanks again for all the nice comments Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Moore Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 Fabulous build and a great subject. French tanks always seem to have more personality than others Andy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
