Troy Smith Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 well, after, what, 10 years here, first tank, and second 'real' completion. Built OOB, apart from fixing an axle and adding some antennas, and making new Besa out of brass tubing, which I was really pleased with. Short WIP here https://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/235071371-airfix-cromwell-been-a-long-time-since-i-did-a-tank finished is a a Vallejo mix for for SCC15, kleer, oil wash, drybrush with base and lighter base, and matt varnish. See link for more, and info on the track colour. Pics snapped this afternoon as bit cloudy, so soft light if a bit dull. the 'base' is a an old stained and battered card table I picked up, just for the odd occasion I want a table out front, but the 'distressed' baize has it's uses... laid on the storage box outside the house. Not had the heart to splatter it with mud....as yet.. Or I might just do another for weathering. I have more picked up so I could practice, before working on my TOTS collection... (TOTS = The One True Scale, ie 1/48th, I think as both planes and tanks are the same...) anyway, useful suggestions and helpful critiques welcomed. 50621206 by losethekibble, on Flickr 50621200 by losethekibble, on Flickr 50621216 by losethekibble, on Flickr 50621203 by losethekibble, on Flickr 50621204 by losethekibble, on Flickr 50621205 by losethekibble, on Flickr 50621208 by losethekibble, on Flickr 50621207 by losethekibble, on Flickr 50621215 by losethekibble, on Flickr cheers T 25 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only piece of advice that I would offer would be to change the headlamp guards for ones made from bent wire. John. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
