I’m just glad I finally, on the third attempt, found a paint colour I’m happy withGood to see paint on the build.
The stowage frame on the front, you mean? I guess my lack of accuracy in working with brass worked for rather than against me hereLate bit of advice, when bending a frame or box, allow a little extra in the measurment to allow for the bend (learned the hard way)
It is, definitely. But at the same time, I’m actually glad I didn’t finish this two or three years ago, because I would have ended up with a model that I now know would have had inaccurate details The long wait allowed me to get more of it right, I’m happy to say.Nice to see this moving on again. There is a great deal of effort in this build and it’s too good to leave it languishing on a shelf…..
A bit odd, yes, and even more so that a few years later he did still remember me when I bought something else from him. But hey, I can’t complain about getting the corrected set for free (Even if it still has the incorrect, partially guessed WD census number that was since proved to be T-148025, and not end in an 8 or a 9 or something as we thought initially.)Good about the decals although strange you were not told about them.
Actually, this is a very easy paint job Just a base coat with sprayed highlights, a (too thick) wash, some scrubbing (because of the thickness of the wash) and then a few shades of drybrushing. But I’m pleased with the result, it looks old and worn like it should for a tank that has sat outside for almost three years at about a hundred metres from the sea.The paintjob looks good - a lot of work to get it right
