Corsairfoxfouruncle Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 I like it a lot... but it doesn't quite scream tank, without a great big gun in a turret or casemate set-up ala Stug. With the smaller guns in the forward sponsons i get fast attack craft ? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers and totally agree with the "With the smaller guns in the forward sponsons i get fast attack craft" comment and the massive jet out back helps with that look, at the moment I can not see a great big gun being added but as this is still evolving who knows what is going to be added to it....

Pete in Lincs Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 I also like fast attack craft. To me that suggests something launched from one ship to attack another? Something like an above surface torpedo using anti gravity & ground effect lift. Perhaps some old 1/48th drop tanks down the sides as pre-recovery/post battle flotation tanks? And a grey/blue colour scheme? I'll go now and leave you to ponder your own ideas though. Pete 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rockpopandchips Posted March 28, 2019 Author Share Posted March 28, 2019 (edited) Front is just about finished, some hight build primer next should help with my not so perfectly smooth finish and Im an with curving some plaplate for the sides, useing 0.75mm so I can scribe some pannels into it but its tricky to get it to bend even using a former aka rolling pin. Messing around with some greeblies as well. Edited March 28, 2019 by rockpopandchips 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rockpopandchips Posted April 1, 2019 Author Share Posted April 1, 2019 That's the bigger parts all glued on to the underside. Some more filling and sanding once set and then I can start on the hatches, vents and all the fun little bit and bobs.... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rockpopandchips Posted October 26, 2019 Author Share Posted October 26, 2019 So this has sat on the bench and I have looked at it and thought I really am bored of looking at this thing but rather than put it in a box I will paint it first, so I used a can of cheep black gloss as a base once this is dry I will put some colour on it. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockpopandchips Posted October 31, 2019 Author Share Posted October 31, 2019 (edited) So I have started the paint with some faded blue underneath and will be going with a two tone faded pale/grey green on top, also made a bit of a garage/bay.

Well I'm just about finished the base, just used grey and black primer from a can, added some pencil panel lines and a few sticks from Gundam kits. Might still add a bit more grime. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
