You got closer to the bench than I did.

Work proceeds slowly on the fenders. They are more intricate and detailed then I first thought but have been fun to figure out and build up. Next up will the stowage boxes and a ton to bolt detail.

Thanks For Stopping In Gents!

So after a few weeks on holiday and a model show thrown in for good measure, I was able to get back to the bench. Made excellent progress and finished detailing out the hull. I'm more then ready to move on to the turret. Leave some comments on what your thoughts are or if I missed anything...help is always welcome.

 

[Iron Mike]

Looks great, Eric! Keep on keepin' on.

Being retired leaves such a busy hectic schedule...

I think you left off the arrestor wires and the surface search radars.
Belay my last. It looks purty good.

After much feet dragging and apprehension, work began on the turret with the attaching of the gun shield and gun tube. But in the end I was able to pull it off and then texture the turret in preparation for further detailing. Now it's starting to look like a tank!!

First up I added that platform for the figures...cause there has to be figures...right...that figures

Then removing the pouring blocks from the resin. Did that outdoors with a mask...that was fun...sort of

Then Attaching the parts with a combo of epoxy putty and glue...and a lot of praying

Then adding the texture...I really got to find a new way of doing...man what a headache afterwards

Starting to look like a Tank!!!

Thanks For Stopping By!

looking FANTASTIC !!!

 

[Iron Mike]

Looks great, Eric! Have you tried using Mr Surfacer 500 for your texture?

 

[Impisi]

hmm this is to get some texture, right, how about acrylic water, this stuff is quite thick, you can form waves, so you should be able to produce some texture with it

ahh, it looks great
