Thank you, Guys!

Thank you!

Hi everyone! Calling this puppy done so I can move on to the next. Continuing the pursuit of perfection. It's pretty damned fast, I'll tell ya.

Hello Friends, The long journey is over and it's time to put this one to bed. I hope you like the result! I'm not quite happy with the mud, yet. Maybe next time. Happy modelling!

Looks good, Rob.

Sharp Work, Carl!

It do look nice, I reckon.

The elixir of the gods!

Nice work on the wheel well and cannon. Wish I could help with the aircraft identification.

Thank you, Kevin. I think my pigment rust looks a lot better than my painted rust. The pigment method is pretty easy if you haven't tried it. Lemme know if you want to know... ya know?

Thanks, Rob. I don;t know if 1/1 scale mud translates well...not that I have ever tried it. I'm trying to think of a local place where I've seen squishy mud, and not coming up with much. Perhaps the soil here just isn't up to it. But I can colorize some plaster of Paris that I have lying about.

Salamander? They crank out the heat and only use a bit of Kerosene last I knew. Seen them at lots of job sites supplying heat in the Michigan winter.

Rob, I can only echo the others... The planking is fantastic!

Nicely done!

Hey, look! A car! Yep... got it from a Marines group on facebook.

Hello Chaps... That's such a British thing... Chaps. But aren't those the leather pants open at the back, popular at some night clubs? Anyway... I digress from the reason for this post. Today I did a bit more to the build. i started by using pigments to add rust effects on extra track links, selected tools and towing equipment, the exhausts, and the stowage bins. And in previous days, I've worked on the base. I added stones collected from my yard, acrylic paint, Citadel washes, and some faux vegetation. I imagine... that you're wondering about the cloudy white on the base. That's actually acrylic media. I've had some kicking around the house for a while that I decided to use it to make some shallow puddles. I had originally gotten it to make water bases for ship models. Hopefully when it is dried, it will be clear. The next operation is to finish the tank, glue it to the base, and then, add mud that should appear as if it's been squeezed to the sides of the tracks. I don;t really have a plan for that yet. Hopefully I can come up with something that looks real. Any ideas? Happy modelling!

cockpit looks sweet!

Looking good!

Wow, Peter! Looks like a good reason to build tanks. I look forward to future progress.

Looks like an interesting project, Bill. It'll be cool to see what the PE does for the kit.

Nice! Foil?

Very nice progress, Rob.

Very well done, john!

Nicely done!
