SPA Modeler

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.

And mighty welcome you are good sir!

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

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....

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

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

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!

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!

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

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....
