Mk.1 female tank, Master Box 1/72

[uros]

Hi guys!
Here is my entry for this group build. I started this one on thurstday at our club meetig. This wil be a quick build, I hope.

This went together extremely fast.

I did the camo using wood glue. Alsways wanted to try it.

Not my best idea. I had some problems removig it, but it worked out in the end. It left some schratched, but this will be part of the paint job, as it actualy doesn't look that bad.

I need to paint redbrown lines on it, then its time to make this tank dirty. I will also make a simple base for it and then it's finished.

Thanks for looking!

Looking good. That was brave using wood glue, maybe white glue would be easier to remove?

Interesting...

Very cool!

 

[razordws]

Nice!

Never thought of using glue as a mask

Thanks guys!
Iron Mike, there is a thin line between being brave or being stupid. Dave, using masking fluid would be a much safer bet, but I just had to try it.

This little tank is now completed.
Before weathering...

And after...

I used Ammo mig products for mud, and must admit, I had a lot of fun splashing it around. I'm a newbie at doing this, so all sugestions and critics are welcome. I still have lots to learn.

Thanks for looking!

Are you kidding!? That looks like it was done by an old pro.

 

[Iron Mike]

Looking good!

Way to go! This is quite a fantastic little tank! I think I would add a little mud to the edges of the screen on top; right where it would have traveled up on the tracks and gotten stuck underneath the edges. Just a crazy idea; no improvements are needed in truth; this really does shine!

Thanks guys! I'll add some more mud to the screen.

 

[moon puppy]

You are a brave man, anytime I come back to something to add just a little bit, it goes wrong. :zen

 

[uros]

I went back and added just a tiny bit of mud to the screen and side of the tracks on top. Everything went well

I'm avare it's barely noticable. You will just have to belive me.

Now it's done, I'm not touching it any more.

 

[Iron Mike]

I'd say you nailed it.

 

[Duke Maddog]

That does enhance the realism of this tank Uros; way to go! I agree with Mike: you nailed it.

Hopefully my bigger version turns out looking as good!
