PlaStix Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 Fantastic job on the tracks Rob! I am quite jealous you've got yours finished! Kind regards, Stix 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retired Bob Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 Looking good, always a bonus to get the tracks sorted, then there is the fun of painting them 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robw_uk Posted February 14, 2021 Author Share Posted February 14, 2021 moved on with the upper hull some what - in fact it is done (barring the fender accouterments) 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Six97s Posted February 14, 2021 Share Posted February 14, 2021 That's coming on nicely. I confess I left off those two tiny brass discs on the final drives... I can barely see them and I have enough trouble with PE anyway. I haven't got as far as the interior yet, but I see they've included a turret basket that oughtn't to be there. 🙃 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And no turret basket? You mean the floor of the turret? Would've assumed it was correct.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PlaStix Posted February 15, 2021 Share Posted February 15, 2021 That looks great Rob. I do like the look of the suspension on this version - despite how fragile it is in model form. Kind regards, Stix 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robw_uk Posted February 17, 2021 Author Share Posted February 17, 2021 more progress on "fender furniture". I have added all that should be grey (apart form LHS fire extinguisher which would block the crow bar location once fitted). Also added the start pf the boxes - the locating brackets on the engine deck. I need to add the tow cable brackets but will leave them til closer to painting. I need to research 1 box on the RHS to see what colour it was and then I think I am on to the turret. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly - no floor that revolves with the turret, unless someone knows different? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PlaStix Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 Hi Rob. That is looking rather good. Lovely tidy modelling. Going together well. And yes - it's your model - build it as you want to!! Kind regards, Stix 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The commander and gunner had seats attached to the turret, but the poor old loader had to stand on the hull floor and walk around as the turret traversed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The III had no turret basket, but the Pz IV did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jasper dog Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 Looking really well Rob, considering the complexity certainly steaming ahead! Good luck with the build. Atb Darryl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robw_uk Posted February 20, 2021 Author Share Posted February 20, 2021 went with the full floor - know it is not accurate but i like it... and rear boxes done (just placed for now).... some small fiddly parts (and more to come with the main gun), not that you will see much of it 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PlaStix Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 Hi Rob. Good to see more progress and the detail does look great. It's interesting to see the interior as well - but I still don't think I'm going the use the insides on my build - as much as I'd like to, I think it would slow me down far too much. I reckon I'm pushing it a little already building a 1/35 kit and hosting as well!! Kind regards, Stix 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robw_uk Posted February 28, 2021 Author Share Posted February 28, 2021 quick bit of white, detail painting and grey scuffs... as you can't see a great deal I probably wont do too much more (if anything) on the interior, maybe some dust and muck around the bottom of the supports and box on the floor 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PlaStix Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 Hi Rob. Nice work on the interior. It's a shame more isn't going to be seen. Kind regards, Stix 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
