Buenos Dias Senhores, after some more weathering I decided to add the tracks, to weather them to a fitting state. The Char got a two tone brush chipping and got treated with different types of pigment. Steel pigments for heavy abrasion and a filtering layer of light earth pigments all over. With some enamel mud wash with dabbed in earth pigments I created some mud caking and decided against wet mud specks, because I will show the beast parked on a street. Some more grease stains and grime will be added later, after everything dried and evaluated. BTW, does anybody know, if the headlight should be, typically French, yellow? Cheers Rob

Thanks Darren, the quality of the kit and included AM makes it an easy build. No real need for a lot of scratching. A real fun ride after some recent quirky builds. Cheers Rob

Not far from seeing the Bat in it's true form. I hope everything will fit, these modular kits give me the creeps. Cheers Rob

Nice soldering job, that's the new way of puttying. Cheers Rob

The mentioned set is for a PBJ-1H and not a J. Maybe that's the reason for the difference. There's a pic in Ernies post which shape ways looks like the one from the PM-set. https://forum.largescalemodeller.com/topic/5837-caught-in-the-doldrums-so-drag-one-off-the-sod/?tab=comments#comment-75099 Cheers Rob

Mix up or not, I will follow and hope to learn something for mine out of it. I have all the goodies as well except for the resin transparencies, which were included in the firs draft only. Have fun. Cheers Rob

Nice looking Mustang, love the finish. Cheers Rob

It's definitely included in the Profimodeller set #32202. Length is 68mm and the diameter is 19,7mm. Cheers Rob

Nice looking Tiger, you are on a roll with German Armor in the moment. Nice and dusty that big cat. Cheers Rob

There is something about that movie attracting you, eh? Cheers Rob

Nice paintjob, love the shining through effect of the final coat. Cheers Rob

FUBAR That happens when you hit the bollards bordering the pedestrian zone , inner city parking problems can be a nightmare. Thanks Martin, they use strange words these French sometimes, but we Germans do as well Cheers Rob

Thanks Kais, these videos are great. Because of the very different layout of the tank compared to others, an interior including version would be interesting. Cheers Rob

Thanks Gaz, actually I'm thinking about a dio with these figures, but that might change. They are from the Miniart French tanker set except the guy sitting in the turret hatch, who was provided with the kit. I really like the leather jackets of those tankers, might be an interesting subject to look for. Cheers Rob

Back to work after some linguistic excursions . I decided, that before chipping I will do an extra round of what I call emphasizing. In fact it is a process opposite to a wash, highlighting risen details with a slightly lighter shade of the base Colours. It enhances the 3D effect and I like the result on armor, but it is time consuming and test for the eye, because it's applied by brush. Man, this tank has rivets . Cheers Rob

Merci Hubert, My French is definitely worse than my modelling skills, at least I hope so . Cheers Rob

Hehe, my French is good enough not to need a translator for understanding the meaning of what you said to your wife. Mine wouldn't have been impressed either, might even give me a horse kiss (German expression for a bruise). Having some thousand Vinyls in my shelves, there is no ELO among them. pity, your words will be hidden to me for all times . Cheers Rob

Deja vu time , another fine Corsair John. Painting and wear looking great and I like the strange looking grey fin. Cheers Rob

You got me again on languages , French and Russian are not my strong side, but I will sure do something about the rest of the Char. Next will be chipping and a little dry mudding. I will choose my next subject on the country of origin to reduce the need of translators . Cheers Rob

Sweet and grimy, nice looking engine. Cheers Rob

A great looking 110 you built there, Carl. The paintjob is perfect and I really like the Colour rendition. Cheers Rob

That's convincing evidence against my soso argumentation , which was based on the English/German translation of SuvArOv you gave us. Like I said, I'm no expert with Cyrillic letters or Russian language. Good to hear that everything is fine. Cheers Rob

You should use a monochrome background while working at the frame . When I see this, mine will go further down the shelf. Having my experiences with the not so easy to build TA-152, I recommend test fitting a lot. Cheers Rob

Wow, very dynamic, the snow looks great and very convincing. Is there a difference between the 'a' and the 'o' in Suwarow, because it looks like the same letter 'o' on the picture. I'm barely able to decipher Cyrillic letters, so I'm not an expert, just wondering. By the way, the hand lettering looks khorosho. Cheers Rob

Hi Martin, you are the man to tackle that Beau, I will follow for sure. Cheers Rob
