[Bagge]

Will post some pics of one of my paper panzers i'm working on right now, the other one is the E-100 jagdpanzer for my swedish diorama.

So a lot of pics now on what has been done so far.

If you have questions about something around the build just ask

Love the idea of splitting that pipe. Excellent work Mats.

 

[Bagge]

I was lucky that the original exhausts were the correct diameter so i could use those to make the new covers

Looks like we're having server issues today. Hold what you got till you see the site poppin' again.

Ok MP didn't know if that message was posted or not, pics are loading now slow but steady :coolio

Loading to the gallery?
Make sure you have them reduced in size. No point in uploading really high resolution images as it's converted by our system to no more than 1280 max width or height and it's further reduced on the forum to about 800px wide.

The site was slow yesterday Bob and it's even worse today

I cleaned my computer last night to be sure it was not from my end.

Vallejo Natural Steel on the exhaust.

Tamiya Clear Orange applied.

Tamiya Clear Blue in patches.

Let me know what you think :idonno does it look like heat coloured metal?

Greetings Mats

Mats it's looking cool, but the heat distortion, I know you see it often but to me it looks more uniformed. Like you should see the colors at the bend or just above the point it breaches the engine deck. What you have looks very random.

MP I am trying to show that the heat from the turbine have miscoloured the metal, as on a jet fighter, i will give it some more work :drinks
