Mrs PlaStix Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 For my third build I decide to try this one, I found it at yet another Model Shop in Birmingham while Mr S was Tank shopping... Such a fantastic idea and seemingly successful, working in many different areas, over 1400 being built and used: Now for the obligatory starter photos: Firstly the box - great box art: Contents of the box: Individual sprues: A sample of the instructions: Painting instructions: Decals: Have decided to paint it grey - having watched Stix painting his last Panzer... 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozzy Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 The grossdeutschland scheme isn't that scary, honest. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gremlin56 Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 I would be more afraid of doing a convincing all-grey scheme than the camo actually Mrs. Stix, nice subject 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mrs PlaStix Posted April 3, 2017 Author Share Posted April 3, 2017 I have done a little, but I've had other priorities of late. Painting started with Revell’s Tank Grey on various parts including wheel hubs: Also on the inside of the hull - just in case it's visible at the end!: And the seats: Am hoping I can fit more in over Easter break! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gremlin56 Posted April 3, 2017 Share Posted April 3, 2017 It wasn't a challenge Mrs. Stix but I will be very happy to watch your rendition of the Panzergrau schwimmwagen materialize, ( of course you have an excellent advisor, albeit one out mowing the lawn until teatime) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mrs PlaStix Posted April 12, 2017 Author Share Posted April 12, 2017 (edited) I actually got on with a bit of actual bit of construction, having painted first, of course. I worked on the wheel fronts - hubs painted and dry-brushed - tires painted with Revell's Anthracite Then the wheel backs - hubs painted, dry-brushed and glued in place: I then finally sorted the front axle and steering parts and then glued them in place: Hopefully I'll get on and do more over the Easter Break, I've got some embroidery to do as well, plus house and gardening...

Mattlow Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 Nice work. Interesting approach to start assembly while parts are still on the sprues... Matt 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mrs PlaStix Posted April 23, 2017 Author Share Posted April 23, 2017 (edited) I did a little dry brushing: I then had a bit of a 'test fit' of the upper and lower hull parts painted - Some of the parts painted on the sprues: I finally got around to fitting the seat unit in place: Edited April 23, 2017 by Mrs PlaStix 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
