I love these things!! To me they have always looked a little "strange". Perhaps that's what draws me to them. I'll be watchin' this one for sure.

[Kermit]

And mighty welcome you are good sir!

[LyleW]

Yep - I can only echo what the others have said. You are so methodical and create some amazing things.

[Kermit]

I have been called worse Lyle!

In reality i might post in a methodical way but behind the scenes alot of unmethodical stuff is going on alot of the time. Take this for instance:



Managed to get the tracks off the model in two pieces but as i am putting on washes and weathering they sorta fell apart in a heap of puzlepieces. Nothing this froggie can't handle but umm yeah....

[Thomas_M]

Just keep in mind which track part belongs to which track...

[LyleW]

Go get 'em, Frog Boy! Flies are on me...well, not actually on me, but I'll buy.

[Kermit]

Repair of the tracks was successful. Once the glue has set ill be putting them back on and continue weathering the model


Also would like to tease you with a possible next build. I discovered that the russians, like the germans used captured armor. Seen many pictures of t-34's with german colors but never before did i see this:




And i got just the kit for it!

[Kermit]

Took some work as the tracks kept disintergrating during reassembly... But my hetzer is standing on her feet now. A little blemish here and there but i don't think it is going to pose a problem with some careful localised mudding to cover things up



Tonight i added another pinwash to the raised detail as i wasn't completely pleased with round one. Next up should be some chipping and then on to the final weathering!

[LyleW]

Good job on the tracks. I would have lost what mind I have left. Sitting proud.

[Kermit]

Chipping was completed last night using a combination of fine brush and dabbing with a piece of foam.



Also placed some orders online for my next project....
