I second this, It was a fantastic idea, and it's been carried out in a wonderful fashion, the views into the interior, through cut outs, now just seems to be the best way to do an interior, and I love the red paint on the edges of the cut outs, that is a very nice touch 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The red paint on cutouts and sectioned equipment is a classic way to do it. I've always thought it adds a touch of class. Once upon a time I could have done it neater! 15 minutes ago, psdavidson said: Simply astounding! /P Thanks. And thanks to the three of you for keeping me going through the last month. Your help was much needed, and appreciated. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jasper dog Posted April 22, 2022 Share Posted April 22, 2022 Absolutely remarkable work, could easily be a model of museum exhibit or a training aid. Must say I've enjoyed your ramblings, apologies build thread tremendously, looking forward to catching up with another. Atb Darryl 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevehnz Posted April 22, 2022 Share Posted April 22, 2022 Hola Bertie, that is a bit marvellous mate. I viewed it earlier on my phone whilst at work & was well impressed. Even more so now I've seen it on a decent sized monitor. It is darn interesting to be able to see what goes on in the bowels of one of these monsters, this creation of yours provides a fascinating insight to same. Sorry I didn't keep up with the WiP, all that airy persiflage masking the essence of the moment & me with the attention span of a gold fish, 'twas a struggle mate. Take care, Steve. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Persiflage eh, that's a new word for me to play with, "light and slightly contemptuous (self) mockery" is exactly my style. If I'd known the word before I signed up here I'd have been Percy Flange instead of Bertie. I'm glad you liked the tank though. This is my second full interior kit and both times I've been struck by how much equipment is crammed into a tank and how little room, and comfort, is provided for the crews. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marklo Posted April 22, 2022 Share Posted April 22, 2022 That is a lovely build, a lot of work but it shows. The cutaway works extremely well. By a strange coincidence I have the Tamiya Valentine in the stash so I’ll be following along for inspiration. (It and a Panzer II are all the tanks left in the stash so im going to have to try to address that) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would I do another one? Hmm. 1 hour ago, Wings unlevel said: To channel a famous countryman, ‘marvellous effort that’!

I’m contemplating either a bare bones A7V in 1/35 or possibly a large scale Renault FT with all the hatches open. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
