Stef N. Posted November 28, 2021 Share Posted November 28, 2021 Masterful Steve. I've thoroughly enjoyed watching this come along, picking up a few tips along the way, and the end result is brilliant. Top work.👏👍 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bullbasket Posted November 28, 2021 Share Posted November 28, 2021 Isn't that one of those kitty cat thingamebobs? Lovely work Steve. Although there is a discussion going on in the chat section as to whether modelling can be art or not, I would have to say that that is definitely a work of art. Brilliant work all round. And now that it's finished, you can build a proper tank, such as a Sherman. John. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice work Steve, great attention to detail all those little touches make a huge difference. Brilliant, as ever! Darryl Keep this up and one day you could be rather good at this lark!

Nenad Ilijic Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 This is absolutely stunning! I love all the details. Especially those little touches like a jerrycan attached by the wire. I could look at the model for hours. And it matches the photo very well. Cheers, Nenad 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Model Mate Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 I do like very much....! The Tamiya kit still builds up a very nice model as you've proved - excellent attention to detail, nice stuff. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Badder Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 Top class! Love the wired jerry can, the dangling track-changing cable, the bent fender, the zimmerit, restrained chipping etc etc. Being a total stickler for detail, I do notice you've put the spare track links front left of the glacis on the wrong way round when compared to the photo. I'll get me coat.😆 Rearguards, Badder 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

diablo rsv Posted December 5, 2021 Share Posted December 5, 2021 That is an excellent piece of work Steve, I love the way you have studied the extra little details and recreated them on the model. The finish and paint work is spot on and seems very authentic. I think you must be the Tiger King. Wayne 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
