All Righty ... What's on the bench today?

More work on the turret...gotta start planning on the base next I think. Got an order into the Scenic Factory. Also working on a shelf queen in the Model Cellar French Tanker and started the 1/16 Das Werk StuG III that I've been wanting to start.View attachment 182720View attachment 182721

Excelllent colors - its really hitting the mark on colors. :tens: Don't forget to add shadows at the end so it 'pops' properly with those light shades. :)
 
Ian- are you talking about the turret or the figure? Sorry...just clarifying.

Tojo- yeah I hear you. I'm using the AMMO Dark Yellow primer as a base coat on the StuG...but there is a lot there.
 
Thanks Ian...yes still loads to add. Was waiting to get the base sketched out a bit...tomorrow I plan on getting the groundwork done in earnest and then once the tank is placed I'll get back to weathering the tank and turret.
 
Took a break from armor today to build some Gundam with my boy. He also got me started watching Attack on Titan....mines the blue one...I like his gold one better.

I have been trying to make some vintage type mudguards or Fenders ? for some time now on and off but i just cant get to do what i want in a form i can reproduce for 4 corners. This looks ok for one but 4 the same will be a mission

I cant do compound curves and so its always going to be a compromise. fortunately even manufacturers in the 1920's tended to avoid them as well :)
 
I haven't used heat Bob, that might be more of a complication given my limited knowledge than an advantage , you are right though i need a jig which might take more effort than the mudguard itself :)
 
So here we are a day later and i have 2 front and 2 slightly larger rear mudguards.

i dont know if i can use these but its been a valuable learning experience :)

I could probably remove the brass bits now the sides are on as they should hold the shape but the brass does at rigidity and might be a good mounting point later

As usual i have no plan so i dont know how they will mount or what they will look like but who cares at this stage 🤣
