Somewhere on the Russian Steppe

Thanks Guys,

It appears that the previous images did not grab the detail of the 38T's.

Here are some close up images of the first stages of weathering.
A Pin wash of AK Summer earth thinned down with Mig Ammo thinner and highlighted with a combination of Raw umber, 502 Abteilung Washes brown applied with a OO brush around all recesses where dust sits.

The muffler had a combination of the Life colour Rust paints stippled over the muffler by brush to get a rough appearance and then highlighted with the Raw umber oil paint to bring out the worn look.

More to follow as there will be figures filling the hatches and track tools and stowage to be applied.

Hello Again,



Here are some progress stages of the weathering.

This is the mid stage weathering process at present and there is still a large amount to do.

The kits all received a thinned down wash of AK Russia earth washed thinned in Mig Ammo Thinner and applied with a 00 Paint brush.

A combination of Humbrol 32 mixed with Raw Umber Abetelung 502 Washers brown and burnt sienna was drybrushed over the raised detail of each tank.

Been gone for a little bit, and just sat down to catch up on this build. Michael - this is ridiculous!!!! Such good work and such a ambitious project!
:vgood:
 
Thanks Guys,

I'm going gangbusters on the builds.:yipee:

If I had my Archer decals they would be closer to completion for the diorama.

Covid has hit us bad with international shipments, we're waiting forever to get parcels.:mad:

Had to sea freight the Ryefield Sherman and Panzer 4 with interiors the other day and will not be expecting them till late November.

Thanks Ian,


The Tamiya 38T is a good quick build out of the box. A couple of hours and its built.:good:

The most complex part of the build is spending the time trimming and sanding the sprue dags off the end of the plastic track links.:LOL:

If you want to torture yourself go all out on the Hobbyboss 38T and be prepared to spend some time on the build. Full interior with etch and not a shake and bake kit but well worth every cent with the extensive detail.

Thanks Bob,

Yes and it must have been the Verlinden publications you had been in way way back in the early 90's that started it all off. :Drinks:
