JOCKNEY Posted April 10, 2022 Share Posted April 10, 2022 Great stuff, like many I've always fancied one of these, watching this build is certainly not going to help resisting the temptation to get one ! Superb paint job by the way Cheers Pat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've not attempted anyhing similar since back when my eyesight was marginally better than it is now, and the only paint choice was Humbrol Enamel. I've always had a fascination for the really huge artillery pieces and I also have a hankering for some in a larger scale. /P 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psdavidson Posted April 16, 2022 Author Share Posted April 16, 2022 Finished up the paintwork with several (not fifty) shades of grey, then started on the final assembly yesterday I'm glad I didn't try to build it all then put the tracks'n'wheels in because I would've certaily broken something All of the plastic is now in place I let the glue set overnight, then did a smidgin of weathering today Tamiya panel line washes in black and brown, just to bring out some details and Vallejo pigments to dirty up the tracks and lower hull I reckon I'm done here. I'll get pics uploaded to the gallery later /P 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psdavidson Posted April 16, 2022 Author Share Posted April 16, 2022 Pics are now up in the gallery. This was a nice little (!) kit, which went together reasonably well. There's a fair bit of detail consideing the scale, size and the really low parts count Finished with rattle can primer and Vallejo Model Air paints Thanks for looking and all the comments, likes and encouragement Also, thanks to @col for proposing and hosting the GB. I won't build anything else here but I'll still be hanging around Now, time to clear the (ahem!) decks and get back to Ariadne in the Matchbox GB /P 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

81-er Posted April 19, 2022 Share Posted April 19, 2022 And there I was thinking you had amazing photoshop skills as well as the modelling ones... All jokes aside, that's an impressive result, Peter, even more so for how dinky it is! James 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
