mbthejester Posted June 11, 2022 Share Posted June 11, 2022 (edited) Hi Everyone Not posted properly for a while, house move, work changes, health, Flikr too, you name it, got my hobby room sorted finally so thought I would do this, disaster- just couldn’t get paint to spray, carpet monster, even the PE set was poor, not the Voyager one some make called ET Model, nearly went in the bin, please dont laugh to hard 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 some pics and then this 🤣 tried a hot knife - never again lol Not very good at this filling Lark 🤣 Best Bit once they have matt varnish and the contact areas done and a little track wash I think they may work Cheers Mark Edited June 11, 2022 by mbthejester Added info 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gumboot Posted June 11, 2022 Share Posted June 11, 2022 A model without a disaster is like a bowling ball with a liquid centre. It just doesn't exist. Did you try adding damage after you'd painted the camo? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milan Mynar Posted June 11, 2022 Share Posted June 11, 2022 Your model looks very interesting. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbthejester Posted June 11, 2022 Author Share Posted June 11, 2022 Unfortunately mate this beast never saw action and only 1 left in the Tank Museum, other than trials that was it for this, didnt even have proper armour, signified by a Red triangle on the front hull, Tracks look good though, trying to get the manganese colour, this is Allclad Gloss Black Primer with Jet Exhaust over it, once wear points done and a wash etc hoping they replicate a museum piece 👍👍👍 cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

APA Posted June 11, 2022 Share Posted June 11, 2022 I really enjoyed making my tortoise. Stick some stowage over that knackered bit. No one will know 😉 Good luck and have fun. Oh and if you remove the prototype triangle you can do a 'what if' in all its full fighting set up 😉 Andrew 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bullbasket Posted June 12, 2022 Share Posted June 12, 2022 Like Andrew said, cover the damage up with some kind of stowage. A jerry can left lying about, a compo box or even a spread map. No one will know the difference. John. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbthejester Posted June 12, 2022 Author Share Posted June 12, 2022 Bit more today, PE added that replaces the lump I got rid of, looks a tad better, and wear points exposed on one track with AK track wash added, very very pleased with the result 👍 Cheers Mark 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mbthejester Posted July 8, 2022 Author Share Posted July 8, 2022 (edited) Hi All, its done barring the tow cable, no idea where the shackles went lol, but I’m on it, and the white lettering that is on it, really pleased with it especially the damage repair, tracks and exhaust. Cheers 😃😃 Edited July 8, 2022 by mbthejester 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
