Continuing with my Tamiya Hotchkiss H 39.......

Making up the Friulmodel tracks. Having a hard time due to the size of the individual links. I mean these these things are Tiny !!

Here, see for yourself .....that's a link on a Penny!IMG_20250907_175338.jpg.cded82fb6202d7fd9dde659e72052244.jpg

Anyway, progress has been slow....Got through about about three quarters of one side of the tracks in two days. However, they look great and

I think they'll be a great addition. One thing, however, Friulmodel is using a new type of wire with some of their sets......a sort of soft steel or iron.

It's very soft and bends easily.....frustrating at times....might as well use Ramen noodles. I think the reason is that the wire might take the darkening

solutions better. BTW.....that's not a comically oversized bottle of Tamiya extra thin.....this tank is small😀

The exposed panel line effect looks really cool, much better than standard wash would do. Nicely inconsistent, in my eyes very realistic.

Cheers I'm loving the possibilities with water based paints . Go on soo thin and level well 

 

thats one very wet layer over silver base , no runs . And later I can go at it further using odourless turps and a toothpick , or postshading or whatever . After years of using Tamiyas paints its been really fun to learn something new . 
 

just need some red for the meatballs

Nice to see something different, Kevin. I think you did a great job on the iron man.
