edjbartos Posted May 20, 2022 Author Share Posted May 20, 2022 Hi everyone, another small update, I've been a bit bogged down doing the baggage and tools, but they are done now and fixed to the tank body. Here are a few photo's... I'm not too far off completing the tank now, a few more bits to do such as the aerial and the mount for it and a few bits I need to tidy up. Then It's onto the base which I have started to do and finally the painting of the figure... I'll be back when I have more to show... As always, thanks for looking in..

edjbartos Posted June 8, 2022 Author Share Posted June 8, 2022 Hello everyone, It's been a while since my last update. Some jobs around the house then a week on holiday. So now I have finally had a chance to complete the remainder of this project. I have added some extra pieces to the tank i.e aerial, which is aluminium wire and added my commander figure. I'm not one for doing figures, this has taken a while as I'm a bit out of my comfort zone. Then I completed a very basic base, made out of a picture frame then added DAS clay which I had buried in the garage for about 8 years unused, then added a few rocks and stones to give a bit of interest. Here's a photo of the base.... So now I can declare that this project is now finished, here are some photo's... That's it, finally finished, I have really enjoyed my first group build, I have had lots of fun seeing everyone's progress. As for this build the tank has been a joy to make, not too difficult, I found it just right. I have learned a lot of new things as I don't usually do figures or bases, but now will most probably do them in future builds. Thank you to everyone who have looked in and commented, I have really appreciated that... all the best Ed 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geo1966 Posted June 9, 2022 Share Posted June 9, 2022 Looks really good Ed. Definitely worth you taking the effort on the figure and the base as they both came out good and add to the finished model. Well done. George 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

George Thanks George, I actually quite enjoyed doing the figure and base, not something I normally do, but will start doing so in the future. It's just a nice change doing something different... all the best Ed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jasper dog Posted June 14, 2022 Share Posted June 14, 2022 Turned out brilliantly Ed, not just the Lee but the figure and base too. The commander sits very naturally in his hatch, superbly done. The base really compliments the build too, nice how it sits 'in' the groundwork as opposed to sitting "on" it, if that makes sense. Great modelling!

edjbartos Posted June 14, 2022 Author Share Posted June 14, 2022 Thank you Darryl, much appreciated. I'm pleased how everything has turned out, the commander and base were nice to do, a bit of a change to just doing a tank, really enjoyed it... all the best Ed 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
