NinjabreadMan Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 That looks awesome, very impressive especially on such a dinky vehicle. The paint scheme reminds me of the patterns you see on WW1 German helmets. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bandit1250 Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 I don't think I can add anything to the long list of superlatives that have already been used. Absolutely fantastic build. Way beyond anything I could manage! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robw_uk Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 that is a simply stunning build. Only had a quick look, going to have to start form the beginning to get the full majesty of it 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vaoinas Posted June 7, 2020 Author Share Posted June 7, 2020 (edited) Thank you, everyone. Not much progress to show this time. The tankette has got several washes and some chipping. Also some separate details have been glued on like taillight, tools, and muffler. There's some progress with the groundwork as well. It's halfway painted now. I really need to kick it going now, it has to be finished in a few weeks time. Thanks for watcing, Kristjan Edited August 12, 2020 by vaoinas Changed image URLs 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Model Mate Posted June 8, 2020 Share Posted June 8, 2020 Absolutely stunning build - I've got one of these in my (very limited) stash, but there's no way it'll even come close to what you've achieved. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shark444 Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 Wow! Totally blown away at the level of details on this wee kit. There's something to look at everywhere - I almost wish you had left it unpainted so we could see all of that great PE work you did! My big question is - who thought this vehicle up in the first place? Anyone fancy sitting beside an exposed engine so you couls suck in the fumes and burn your arm on the casing, all while getting shot at? Er... thanks, no. 😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone fancy sitting beside an exposed engine so you couls suck in the fumes and burn your arm on the casing, all while getting shot at? Er... thanks, no. 😉 The vehicle was developed by polish at the beginning of 30's but it was somewhat based on british Carden-Lloyd design. Half-a-car size tracked box with little more than no armor and a machine gun seemed to be a great idea back then. I have a little progress to show - not of a vehicle this time, but a figure I got finally together. For this project I needed a very specific figure in a specific pose and clothes. There really wasn't any good options available, so I had to combine it together using torso, legs, and hands of a different figures I had in my stash. Quite a frankenstein monster, one would think. The head is by Hornet&Wolf miniatures, it's british officer but makes a good inter-war estonian with only minor changes.

vaoinas Posted June 20, 2020 Author Share Posted June 20, 2020 (edited) It's nearing to an end now. The pigments to the running gear has been added and tracks has been glued on as well. The connection of the tracks at the bottom are somewhat messy, but it will be well hidden on the diorama. The base had its grass and more pigments to blend it all together. And the figure is painted now. It needs few more touches though. Thanks, Kristjan Edited August 12, 2020 by vaoinas Changed image URLs 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redcoat2966 Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 Well Kristjan, you've outdone yourself on this one mate. That is truly a nice pice. Really nice job.....looking forward to seeing it on the dio. Regards Simon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robw_uk Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 there are no superlatives to do this justice. If I had seen it I would never have bothered my slapdash scratch building efforts... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
