BlackMax12 Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 Filthimus extremus, that's Latin for a heck of a good job. Looks like it just rolled in the mud and quite a bit seeped inside. They say these things leaked like a sieve when it rained so it should get a wash job eventually. Excellent work Steve and the KT doesn't look too shabby either. Now if you could wave that magic wand and blow them both up to 1/16......... Lloyd 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve_farrier Posted October 21, 2017 Author Share Posted October 21, 2017 The KT isn't finished yet... however I do have a kit in 1/16 that's not quite finished ;-) ( along with a Renault tank and a kublewagen) having been in a t34 I can confirm they leak and mud flows everywhere!! thanks for the compliments all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackMax12 Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 That KT is 1/35 isn't it? The SU85 looks pretty big until you put it beside the monster and then it seems pretty wimpy but it could still take out the big guy rather handily. I'm bogged down on a 1/16 KT, pretty involved so I can sympathize, seems like it will never be finished. Lloyd 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lloyd Yeah this KT is 1/35 my 1/16 is a HL but I broke some metal track pins sand HL don't do spares, I bought some other ones but they are thicker so will need to drill my track links 😳 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Badder Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 I absolutely LURRRRRVVVVVE the 85. That heavily weathered whitewash is stunningly superbly excellent! Having purchased quite a few of MiniArt's awful buildings, I really must overcome my aversion to the company because their new AFVs (as everyone else keeps commenting) are looking to be brilliant. But it still takes a skilled artist with a good imagination to produce something like this. Again, stunningly, superbly, excellent work Steve.

Steve_farrier Posted October 22, 2017 Author Share Posted October 22, 2017 Thank you @Badder!! You really should build one of their AFVs. Ive jumped in to a Tamiya build... hand whilst it's typical Tamiya.... I have to say I prefer the miniart style now. 😳😳😳 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did build the odd Bandai sci-fi model and the Space Shuttle, but that was it. So when I returned to modelling a couple of years ago I went straight back to Tamiya. But I've seen a few MiniArt AFVs on here over the past year or so, and each time I've been impressed. It's just a trust thing I suppose, plus the fact that I'd have to order them on line, whereas I can pick up Tamiya kits at Hobbycraft. I have a stash of Tamiya AFVs that I will have to finish before I do give MiniArt stuff a go though. And the way I work that'll be a couple of years yet!

Steve_farrier Posted October 22, 2017 Author Share Posted October 22, 2017 Hobbycraft nr me has started stocking dozens of kits recently I've been impressed. However there is a new model shop opening in Camberly very soon. I remember there used to be a great place in Reading years ago that was floor to ceiling. Beaties I think it was called. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FrancisGL Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 It looks like it really was on the eastern front, next to the KT is obvious the difference of concepts ... Good job Steve , cheers mate 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve_farrier Posted October 23, 2017 Author Share Posted October 23, 2017 Thanks @FrancisGL thats the idea I had in my head :-) its amazing to think the 85 was supposed to combat things like the KT. I wouldn't have wanted to be in it!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shelves and shelves of Tamiya models. I think they had the entire catalogue of Military Miniatures models on their shelves. And that's not a joke! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
