Wagtail Posted September 11, 2016 Share Posted September 11, 2016 Hi All This is my fourth build since returning to kits after many years and I'm really enjoying it, very relaxing and therapeutic! Well this one is the Hobby Boss M4 High speed Tractor which I just fancied the look of to be honest. It was a great kit, excellent value with the included PE, chains, paint masks, colour chart etc. great value. This is my first play with PE, god it's fiddly isn't it! I still have a lot to learn with regards to weathering especially rust effects which I tried, binned and gave up un but practice makes perfect? Overall I'm reasonably happy for a fourth attempt. It was painted with a Tamiya rattle can and brushed Vallejo acrylics but have just invested in my first ever airbrush for future builds! Mainly OOB except for some spares box weapons and accessories. I scratch built the tarpaulins and weapon slings using thin lead sheet and bought a set of Verlinden 1/35 WW2 US maps and documents. Anyway I hope it's ok and thanks for looking! 19 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy Moore Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 That's a fantastic build with some great extra touches. The rolled back tarp is very effective Andy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wagtail Posted September 13, 2016 Author Share Posted September 13, 2016 Thanks for your comments really kind thank you! I'm almost done with the next one which is the first effort with the airbrush so I'll get some pics up once I've finished it. I also need to have a go a some diorama bases to put them on but that and figures are two things I really struggle with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Badder Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 Great little kit and an excellent job you've made of it, especially with the PE and extras. The tarpaulin is particularly good. Congrats on getting an airbrush. Your modelling will improve greatly as a result. Rearguards, Badder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Head in the clouds. Posted September 24, 2016 Share Posted September 24, 2016 "High speed" and "tractor" are two words that do not go together but your model certainly did, lovely little build. Gary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
