Tamiya Famo Sd Ah 116 trailer and DML Panzer 3

Hello all,

Back again with the next installment .Head down working on the Famo fruil track .
I persisted and happy with the outcome .The track is on and it is not coming off. :bang head :lol:

Here it is bare


Primed with Humbrol primer


Painted with Gunze colours and Mig ammo pigments in the track



Here is the famo with the tracks on



the other side


3 quarter rear


Ok so now I test fit the upper superstructure on the body and then realize this is 1 big kit :eek:hmy: :woohoo:




I have moved over to painting the figures and found the Andrea colours may be a bit bland and I wanted someting extra from the figures in the driver/troop compartment and after looking around I found Vallejo had a case of armour colours and said this is the way to go. :v It's the first time using the Vallejo colours on the figures.
Here is the paint set complete with brushes , fantastic yay :ro:




I have just started briefly with checking the hornet heads against each plastic figure .The guys with the long sleeves will have the plastic hands removed and replaced with resin hands .

Here is the start of the crew and the painting .


I'll be away for awhile the large number of figures for the cab :cheer:

Michael :ro: :ro: :)
 
Hard work really paid off on the tracks. Well done Mike. :solder

Interested in your impression of Vallejos seeing how you're use to Andrea colors.
 
What I enjoy about this build is how Mike can maintain his enthusiasm and high skill level over a long build time. I just don't have that discipline... I get excited about project, I build it, I move on....

Great that this place has room for so many different modellers styles, doncha think.

Great work Mike really enjoying this project..

Ian.
 
Looks great, Mike- nice 'n' dusty! Those figs are looking good as well. I am simply green with envy over that paint set, too! ;)
 
Hello again,

Back with a brief update to the figures I'm working on .

It's the first time for me using acrylics on 1/35th figures and I'm still learning .

The heads and hands have been brush painted with Humbrol flesh enamels .
Still a long way to go to get the right look , once painted I'll gloss coat and drop a dark pin was over various areas to give the uniform some depth .



More to follow

Michael
 
Great job on the assembly of the wheels and tracks Mike . That thing is huge.

So, your first score on Vallejo ? Congratulations :good:

I wonder how I managed before I discovered Acrylics :coolio

Looking forward to more. Cheers, Christian B)
