Stef N. Posted February 15, 2022 Share Posted February 15, 2022 Oh mate, what a shame. Is there anything you can do to restart or keep it going? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
echen Posted February 15, 2022 Author Share Posted February 15, 2022 At least the thread might help a few fellow Britmodellers with Revel L&L tracks? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
echen Posted February 16, 2022 Author Share Posted February 16, 2022 In the heat of the moment I think I might have over-reacted. Seeing the blobs of paint all over my desk, computer, monitor and several part-builds (T34, Jagdpanzer IV and the Tiger ) was a bit lot disconcerting. Looking at the kits today in the cold light of day I think the damage might be repairable with a little judicious sanding and hairy-sticking. Operations now transferred back to the man-cave so limited to warmer weather. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A few grime and oil washes and some mud will knock that back. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knevi Posted February 16, 2022 Share Posted February 16, 2022 No practice is ever wasted and all contributes to the next project but this is so far from a failure I'm sure you'll achieve the finish you want in time 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
echen Posted April 19, 2022 Author Share Posted April 19, 2022 On the way to repair. Some washes and mud should finalise it................................... 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knevi Posted April 20, 2022 Share Posted April 20, 2022 Excellent recovery by the Werkstattkompanie. It looks ready to go back into the combat strength 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
echen Posted May 10, 2022 Author Share Posted May 10, 2022 I noticed the other day that there was a significant step in the offside track where it drops from the sprocket to the first roadwheel. I think it arrived when I "repaired" the track after it responded to gravity and a short length parted company with the rest. I stuck it back on but, it seems, not very well. Fortunately it came off successfully. And, after a few attempts, went back on again a little more tidily. The underside is still a little uneven but some "mud" in the gaps will hide it reasonably well. Looks a bit better now, maybe? 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
echen Posted May 12, 2023 Author Share Posted May 12, 2023 (edited) A little progress I started weathering.................... Just a light wash of Humbrol 63 Ochre. The cam pattern is toned down a bit. I should, of course, have added the tools and tow cables before the wash but that will hopefully be remedied later.

echen Posted May 13, 2023 Author Share Posted May 13, 2023 Thanks @Knevi for your kind comment. It did look too pristine before but I was paranoid about it going pear shaped again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

echen Posted May 13, 2023 Author Share Posted May 13, 2023 (edited) Thanks @Stef N. for your comment. Thanks too for your backup earlier in this thread. Things got a bit fraught with this build - at several points in the process. Edited May 13, 2023 by echen 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
