exdraken Posted November 23, 2019 Author Share Posted November 23, 2019 as usual with tanks, I do not really know what I do... so I pre-shade this guy here! not sure yet if better painting those 20 road wheels by hand or spraying and redoing the rubber by hand... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

exdraken Posted December 21, 2019 Author Share Posted December 21, 2019 nothing to be proud of, but I pre-painted / the chains yesterday.... I recon this is easier now, before assembly... lets see! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
modelling minion Posted December 21, 2019 Share Posted December 21, 2019 It's all progress Werner, and as you say it is much easier to do before assembly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exdraken Posted December 22, 2019 Author Share Posted December 22, 2019 about painting: great site for obscure modelling topics: http://edokunscalemodelingpage.blogspot.com/2014/01/egyptian-t-54-t-55-in-1973-october-war.html before the 1973 war: sand with dark brown patches https://dtashji.files.wordpress.com/2016/04/yk_2.jpg?w=300&h=212 chocolate and some green: https://i.pinimg.com/236x/f7/55/1a/f7551a19356dbc9d64c65f7089e09cb7--october-war-tanks.jpg https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-SD6XlX692rQ/UtFODpTcgdI/AAAAAAAAAzQ/gyqGI4pQynA/s640/74070339.gif excuse the title.... some thing along these lines-... base color is a home mixed mustard sand... guess hand painted camo is the most promisingm, no....? masking this will be messy.... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exdraken Posted December 22, 2019 Author Share Posted December 22, 2019 and todays work: still a bit crude, but.... lots still to do! all the small things and PE still to be mounted.... some blending also needed 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
modelling minion Posted December 22, 2019 Share Posted December 22, 2019 Looking very nice Werner I think that brush painting is definitely the right way to go as that is how the paint was originally applied. Some very nice pics and great link too, thanks for sharing them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exdraken Posted December 22, 2019 Author Share Posted December 22, 2019 (edited) wheel madness and started asembly.... there are individual resin track links for the spoke wheels I assuem and some longer parts form the straighter parts Edited December 22, 2019 by exdraken 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PlaStix Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 Great to see the camo going on and some assembly underway!! Kind regards, Stix 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exdraken Posted January 3, 2020 Author Share Posted January 3, 2020 good that we got another week! thanks mods! more chain work: a lot of weathering, touch up painting still needed, but I am glad that the tracks are on and look mostly the part! some spares, nice touch! good - excellent job to the track designer 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exdraken Posted January 5, 2020 Author Share Posted January 5, 2020 more done today some PE grills I simply forgot... as all the PE fret. (not being mentioned in the instructions maybe one cause... not looking close enough maybe another....) But the fret is very nice! shouldn't have ignored it in first place with some paint on: blends in nicely I'd say. track as kind of finished: and that is how it looks before gluing closing the hull for good 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
