It's been awhile since I messed with der Luchs, so today seemed as good as any to lay some camo to the cat.

Pretty much fresh from the paint booth, with a few of the details painted, ready for markings and weathering. This is a great little kit, fits perfectly, great details and the green is correct. Thanks for dropping by, much more to come!

 

[errains]

Coming along nicely and looks good in the greeny strips!

I don't know about those stripes. I'll asks Roscoe to look in. Nifty Lynx in any case! What bit goes in the sunroof in the turret?

Don't think for a minute I have forgotten der Luchs. Some progress from yesterday while I waited for paint to dry.

That's all for now, I'll start the weathering this week. Thanks for coming by!

 

[moon puppy]

Nice and subtle...

 

[Impisi]

nice

 

[errains]

Oh yeah that is nice!! It really brings out the details.

 

[Brokeneagle]

Pretty cool Mike !

A belated thank you to all who took time to comment, seems to be a diminishing commodity. Bases have been a new skill I have been trying to master, this one is proving to be a challenge. I would like to portray a summer recon scene, on a small area. I cut and glued up some 1" rigid foam to mock up the scene, I think a slope will be interesting. I also made up a tree from wire.

I think this one needs a branch manager...

Still mulling over how I'll slope the base, need to add bark and foliage to the tree and much more. Thanks for coming by!

A twisted wire tree!
The bench refit seems to have promoted Model Mojo for another swell idea!

 

[Skinny_Mike]

Tank is looking good Mike. I'm curious to follow the tree building, its something I struggle with.

 

[moon puppy]

That's going to shape up nicely.

 

[errains]

Another great build Mike!! Always like these little Luchs.

First time that I saw this one,very nice job.I like that track tool,and I like your metal disk idea for holding the tank.
One ever fall off,that would worry me.

 

[Iron Mike]

Thanks guys! In more than a year of using the magnetic handle, I have yet to have anything fall off. You have to be a little careful removing a vehicle from the magnets, but it's usually just a matter of tipping the vehicle sideways and detaching the handle with the other hand. Works for me.

I love this tank!
