Jasper dog Posted September 21, 2020 Author Share Posted September 21, 2020 Right, at ease. Where were we... Driver painted and inserted into his position. Fresh faced little sole isn't he... Spot the mistake with the drivers remaining anatomy... Lenses fitted to headlamps and gpmg. Had a play with my new favourite modelling substance.....Green stuff! It's great isn't it, so much better than damp pva soaked tissue? Created covers for two of the turret bins and the commanders gpmg ammo boxes. Even though you can hardly see it there is a camo net in its stowage bin . (I know it still has the erroneous yellow triangle on the turret). Almost finished..... Cover on wonky light. In natural light the rain marks/ dust streaking is a little too heavy so that needs knocking back a bit, i know the Purbecks in summer can create a lot of pale dust but..... Perhaps a matt coat on the bin covers and need to add more weathering, I've ordered a couple of products to play with in that regard. Just leaves the remaining figures, for which I still need to order heads. I would have done that yesterday but....toss up between 2 sets of heads or a new kit from Takom, guess which won.... Apologies for the hiatus in service and I can't promise to catch up, looks like I've missed loads! (Little mate of 14+yrs is reaching that stage where each day could be his last... but each day he rallies and proves me wrong!) 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big_Bad_Bill Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 And no-ones mentioned the poor bugger getting track rash........ Excellently done. Out of interest what green paint did you use.

I'll see how those malformed copies look once fitted with new heads for now. However if I get around to doing the Chieftain etc then.... Too easy to spend ..... 45 minutes ago, ivan-o said: Spot on Darryl and I do like those bin covers👍I just might have to change mine when I get going again😀 Why do you think the streaks are to much looks ok to me. Hi Ivan, try the Green stuff, so easy to use and works really well! I got the idea from Steve and Dan both big advocates of it. As for the pale streaks, looks a bit stark in natural light, might tone down a bit once its weathered fully. 39 minutes ago, Big_Bad_Bill said: And no-ones mentioned the poor bugger getting track rash........

Never done one myself but have signed up to the Pzr III one in Jan and tempted by the Panther one starting soon and the Gulf war one too for that matter...just orderd the Takom Iraqi Type 69....why....???? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hamden Posted September 22, 2020 Share Posted September 22, 2020 Superb finish Darryl every inch a Chally Roger 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jasper dog Posted November 8, 2020 Author Share Posted November 8, 2020 Whilst on a bit of a roll decided to try and get a little more done on this, it's been sat precariously on the shelf above the bench for too long needing completion. So whilst still not finished every little helps, concentrated on the base today, not perfect by any means but.... The Chally itself still needs a crew and some final weathering, however, now the base is looking something like I can at least weather it now when given half a chance. Thanks for looking Atb Darryl 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never tried a base of this size before, had originally thought of something bigger, a full length hillside behind with the Chally going up complete with range marker board etc.... ....realised that would be rather big...Created something more manageable instead. Biggest thing left to do is figures..... Must get some of these kits finished, never had so many on the go at once... Cheers Darryl 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
