Hewy Posted April 21, 2019 Author Share Posted April 21, 2019 A wash and a bit of chipping, and a little further ahead, still quite a bit to do, this is how it stands, and a real magach that I've been using as a guide Photos reveal still a bit of wash to clean up🤔 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsairfoxfouruncle Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 I had to do a double take with the 1st photo. I looked and thought wow, he built a heck of diorama fast. Then i read the post and realized its a real tank. I need to wake up more before i look at these posts. Dennis 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
modelling minion Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 The IDF certainly do like to make their tanks "busy" with just about everything they can think of hanging from them! Great photo to work from Glynn and you are doing a greta job on your build, she certainly has that "used" look about her. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Craig, the idf is a very interesting modelling subject for sure, (colours too) I've looked at a picture of three of these tanks together in a camp, and two of them are completely different shades, my first idf model but I really do want to build a shot kal - gimel centurion, but I do hope to recreate that busy look though 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PlaStix Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 Hi Glynn. Your painting techniques and skills are once again evident on your build. They really are very effective at bringing your tank projects to life. Kind regards, Stix 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hewy Posted April 30, 2019 Author Share Posted April 30, 2019 Cheers @PlaStix glad you like it up to yet, the tracks are causing headaches, I'm close to pulling the trigger on aftermarket ones, I'll finish the weathering first though As it stands at present I'm in the process of busying it up, with bits and bobs from old builds, I'm going to make some tarps later on Tow cables made up, I want to do another double to drape across the front Guns given a drybrush And some bits and bobs on the turret 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
modelling minion Posted April 30, 2019 Share Posted April 30, 2019 That really is looking awesome Glynn. The machine guns look great after their dry-brushing and weathering. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsairfoxfouruncle Posted April 30, 2019 Share Posted April 30, 2019 Wish mine looked as good as this. I'm still trying to get the Vietnamese orangey dust color down on mine. Then some mud on the lower hull. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Craig, I'm glad those guns are done, I won't attach them till near the end I'm bound to total one or two of them, hands like monkeys feet Mrs hewy once said🤔, I thought about plucking up the courage to ask her for a couple of strands of hair for the ariels, a'la Mrs minions help on your kv, but they probably aren't to scale, a bit too thick and wirey 😂( the ariels I mean) Glynn 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hewy Posted May 5, 2019 Author Share Posted May 5, 2019 Hello badder, I'm ordering the wolf pack magach tracks after the Bank Holiday, I'm not going to struggle with the kit ones, they don't want to play fair, glad you like it so far, I'll put the few decals on next week, a couple of the decals are painted on a piece of tarp on the 1/1, so I've had to buy a couple of bottles of wine for the foil,(May make the odd mistake) the lengths we go to for our hobby hey badder, so it looks like I'll be attempting that tomorrow 🤪 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dennis I ordered them Tuesday Dennis they're coming all the way from down under for the decent price of £13, ish delivered, cheaper by far than any where in the EU, I couldn't find them for sale in the UK, 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hewy Posted May 17, 2019 Author Share Posted May 17, 2019 The tracks are here, they look great, I've even invested in a new pair of cutters to remove them from the sprues, some tamiya 035 fine pointed ones, save some clean up I hope🤞 my old xurons were a bit blunt, hope to post some pictures tomorrow 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hewy Posted June 10, 2019 Author Share Posted June 10, 2019 Now I've got my bench back from a couple of unforseen builds, I'm back on the magach to the finish, I started the tracks this evening, and I can report they go together well and they fit the sprockets nicley too, update soon 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hewy Posted June 25, 2019 Author Share Posted June 25, 2019 Well as always just lately, a little rushed, I'm off to Edinburgh for a lads break and the gb finishes the day I'm back, so I've had to get my skates on, I crushed the airels during the photos😡I straightened them out best I could but they need replacing, looking at it under the zoom of the camera there needs some touching up, but I'm calling it done for the gb I made the tarps from tissue and raided the spares box for bags and other bits of Stowage, the wolf pack tracks went together well and only took me a while because I built some king tiger tracks along with them, this was mind numbing, Big thanks to Dennis @Corsairfoxfouruncle and most enjoyable gb Glynn The tracks in progress And the end product 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsairfoxfouruncle Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 WOW ! Well done Glynn, thank you for participating. It made my first attempt at hosting better to have everyone involved in the builds. Dennis 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
modelling minion Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 Excellent result Glynn. She really looks fantastic, the extra baggage and jerry cans really add to the effect and make this look very realistic, if that's what your rushed finishes look like they look far better than builds I've taken my time on. Very well done mate. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
