Roger Newsome Posted October 13, 2019 Share Posted October 13, 2019 Work is underway on the second build of this trip away. Not quite as good as the Tamiya kit I've just finished but it's going together very well so far. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another one to enjoy watching come together. Regards Steve I'm enjoying these 1/48 kits, they're going together great so not long before you can get painting. I'm not tired of Russian subjects yet but I'm feeling the lure of something a bit more oriental, maybe something from the land of the rising sun will be waiting for me when I get home. 🇯🇵😉 Roger. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roger Newsome Posted October 16, 2019 Author Share Posted October 16, 2019 This is where I'm at now. I've decided to white wash and weather the lower hull, wheels etc. before attaching the tracks. The tracks have been painted, given a wash and are drying on some cardboard on the deck. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silver Fox Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 Careful, you are going to run out of kits to build before you time at sea ends. Lovely work, the Trumpeter KV has gone onto my radar. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roger Newsome Posted October 20, 2019 Author Share Posted October 20, 2019 Last night I had a bit of an "Oh no, what have I done" moment. This morning I'm feeling a bit better about it, we'll see what some washes and further weathering can do. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jasper dog Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 Crikey that's changed! Never attempted a winter scheme myself, but I can see the potential in it, bit of mud and streaking etc and your on a winner. (You can't beat the feeling of, "Oooh bu#g%r, what have I just done!") However you have to try new things and it usually pays off, as has yours. Good luck Darryl 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
