Brummbar (Early), Tamiya (1975) - 1/35 Scale

[errains]

Had a build day with iambrb, aka Bruce. Since it's been many moons since I actually worked on anything I figured I would start on something new. While the kit molds are from the 70's with a slight face life at some point this kit is actually not horrible. The primary goal is COMPLETION! There for I'm keeping it as simple as I can...Mostly Out-of-the-Box. I will add a Black Dog resin set as well...But this isn't to bad either. So far I did some slight building but most everything in the photos is just dry fitting of the major components.

Thanks For Stopping By

Got a little more bench time in. Today was Zimmerit day...but the easy way!! I'm trying out embossed paper Zimmerit set from Monroe Perpu. Super easy to use took about hour and a half to do up lower hull. I use Gator Glue to attach the Zimm and it work wonderfully.

Thanks for stopping by

Paper Zimmerit? Interesting. These Tamiya kits fall in the category of "Old Tool, Still Cool" at my place.
It looks like fun so far!

Finished up the Zimmerit for the ol Bear. This is a great product and very easy to use. If Monroe Perpu offers a set for your build you can't go wrong in use this paper Zimmerit. A little trimming of the edges and some damage to the Zimm then on with the rest of the build.

That looks neat. Is it like card stock or more like paper and how was it to apply?

Monroe Perdu has been around for a long time. These are from a 2006 review of their Panther Ausf. G skirts:

... And diorama bases (OK, no more as you get the gist). This one is The Sunken Road:

Monroe used to post with us. Wonder if anyone would rattle his cage and share new stuff with us.

Thanks Everyone! I used Gator glue to attach the Zimm. Its more like paper then cardstock. Monroe suggests using PVA but the model need priming first. But with Gator Glue there was no need to prime the model.

I still have the base I did with his well in a group build on here way back in another time.

Like my old SMA tshirt, “the goal is completion not perfection “

and yeah, “mostly”

That paper texture is awesome. Holy cow. Game changer that!

That zimm looks good,all ofthose extras look great

That paper zimm is really interesting and looks great!
Interesting little dio and loving the early version.

Slow but steady progress. Lesson learned is to take photos during your builds as you can catch oopsie-daisy moments that need a fix'in.
