PlaStix Posted December 23, 2018 Share Posted December 23, 2018 Hi Ozzy. The base looks like it should be an excellent way to display your Pz.IV! Looking forward to seeing more. Kind regards, Stix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking forward to seeing more. Kind regards, Stix Thanks Stix, ive got some air drying clay to put down for the ground work, I've finished off the fence this afternoon. Hopefully it won't sprout buds in the spring, I'm seeing all these Panzer IV's being built I need to stay strong and finish the base first. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I know what you mean about seeing all these other Pz.IVs being built - even though I'm making one, I keep seeing others and thinking........oh it would be cool to be making that!

Ozzy Posted December 24, 2018 Author Share Posted December 24, 2018 i thought while the turkey was cooking, I'd have a go at the ground work. The local shop had run out of gray, the only choice was terracotta it made an intresting Color in the basin when I washed up. I covered the base with PVA glue to stick it down and hopefully reduce any shrinking. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ozzy Posted December 25, 2018 Author Share Posted December 25, 2018 Wishing you you all a merry Christmas, with my festive Sherman. Santa brought me some paint organisers, I just need to tidy the rest of the bench now. He also brought me a nice Panzer IV book. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozzy Posted December 28, 2018 Author Share Posted December 28, 2018 ive just ordered a set of these, having watched a video on u-tube. They look a lot simpler than most sets of metal tracks, they clip together with an edge to fold over and keep them in place. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a great idea, i’ve been put off by the faff of building metal tracks but these look super easy. Be interested to see how you get on with them 🙂 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've not had much luck with other metal tracks, I've spent more on drill bits than I have on the tracks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozzy Posted December 30, 2018 Author Share Posted December 30, 2018 I know I said I wouldn't start until I had finished the base, but my wife was watching some rubbish on TV. So I started on the hull, no real problems it builds as you would expect from Dragon. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or are you going to put the 1/48th ones on and photograph them using false perspective? 😆 Good to see the Panzer coming along.

Rearguards Badder Thanks Badder, i got got them in 1/35, this was just a picture of them. I should have picked the right photo to post. That would have been a little bit intresting trying to get them to fit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
