Hewy Posted February 16, 2019 Author Share Posted February 16, 2019 A question for those in the know, as its my first winter white wash , on a modelĀ would it be appropriate to fit the tracks after the white or before? AndĀ Would the whitewash be on the Hull sides behind the wheels , becauseĀ I'm not going to put any lower shurzen onĀ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Badder Posted February 16, 2019 Share Posted February 16, 2019 Hi Glynn, Fantastic work. I have no chance of ever going down to that scale so I tend to steer clear of braille scale threads to prevent me getting jealous. Ā I see Mr Churchill, Sir, has already offered up a photo with regards to whitewashing, but I'd just like to add that ALL whitewash was put on by brush/broom, spray-gun, or just thrown on by the bucket load (in extremis) and was applied to all parts of a vehicle while it had its wheels/tracks on. So you COULD whitewash the hull sides after you've put the tracks on. But not all crews bothered to whitewash the hull sides, or the wheels even. So it's up to you. Ā Rearguards, Badder 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hewy Posted February 17, 2019 Author Share Posted February 17, 2019 Cheers @BadderĀ this helps a lot, most appreciated, I've been doing a bit of research for compacted snow tooĀ around the running gear and between the tracks, and I've searched Mrs hewy cupboards and found the bicarb, so I'm going to have a bash at that too, a bit of a learning curve this brail scale 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hewy Posted February 22, 2019 Author Share Posted February 22, 2019 The mucky panzer build continues , mud and base still to do, I'm unsure where to go from here, mud apart, some of my planned bits worked, some haven't, I've concocted a frankenstien tank commander from the figures in the tank commanders and Stowage set, I'm not very good at 1/35 figures so lord knows how this little fellas going to look dashed in paint, better pictures soon, I know it looks like he's having a drink from a tin of lager, but they're binoculars, or supposed to beĀ Ā Ā 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hewy Posted February 24, 2019 Author Share Posted February 24, 2019 I've started a base it's a bit rough at the moment but once everything is dry I'll tidy it up a bit, I've gotĀ the woodland scenics e-z water to add, it's the little pellets you heat up and pour in, never used it before so any pointers will be well recieved, then it'll be a mud fest,Ā for the tank and scene, and finally the snow, after a bit more research the bicarb is a no go, so it's woodland scenics soft flake snow insteadĀ I reckon theĀ tank commander would have kittens going over this bridge š Ā Ā Ā Ā Test fit Ā Ā 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PlaStix Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 Hi Glynn. Your Pz.IV and your base are absolutely fantastic! Fantastic painting and finish on the H and I am so impressed by your base.

modelling minion Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 Just catching up with this one Glynn and I have to say that I am seriously impressed! The tank itself looks absolutely fantastic with brilliant weathering and the whitewash effect, just superb. As for the base I think it is perfect, the size is just right and the quality is top notch, I'm really looking forward to seeing the water! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hewy Posted March 6, 2019 Author Share Posted March 6, 2019 I reckon it's about as finished as it's going to be, the water was an outright disaster, I rescued it as much as possible, I did consider binning it, you had to heat up little pellets to melting point then pour it in, I made some sides for it so I could pour it in to a certain level, easy eh, nooo, the Styrofoam I built the whole diorama from including the little rocks began to melt before my eyes, also it burst its banks and dripped between my fingers, meltingĀ me too, still, this is mk2 Big thanks to @PlaStixĀ for running the show, great gb, and the encouragement for this 72ndĀ scale adventure fromĀ @Churchill, @BIG X, @badger, to name but a few, my hat is tipped, thanks fellas, I thoroughly enjoyed it Glynn Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badder Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 Hi Glynn, I just saw this pop up in the gallery and had to come here and have a look. Wow, is all I can say! Ā Oh, okay, I will say some more.... That would be a fantastic first attempt at whitewash in 1/35th, but it's miraculous in 1/72nd! I'm gobsmacked! And what a fantastic base as well! Love that bridge! Ā Shame about the water, though it now looks like a raging torrent and doesn't detract from the look of the thing at all. I use Woodland Scenics' Realistic Water, which is a lot simpler to use - but you still have to make sure your 'dams' have no leaks! Ā The best 1/72nd Panzer of the GB in my books!

Hewy Posted March 6, 2019 Author Share Posted March 6, 2019 Thanks for your kind words badder, for the whitewash I just kept looking at yours and tried to follow suit, yeh the water went belly up, I did try to get that woodlands scenic stuff but they'd ran out so I took a punt on the dangerous little pellets instead, not good, not good at all, it certainly isĀ looking to be flowing quick though, cheersĀ GlynnĀ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
