Japanese Type 1 75mm SPG Okinawa 1944

Thanks Dougie, vegetation is real so I guess Mother Nature will have to field the brightness issue, though I can say that being in the service my self one was compelled to keep "freshening" up the camo lest you stand out like a sore thumb against live foliage. I do appreciate your comments though
as I do everyones

That's fine, I know nothing about tanks and such so I'm happy to be wrong, it just looked like a lot of contrast. I still like the tank haha

I guess it might survive a while in battle then

I want to see the tank Jim , it's ok putting greenery on but it hides the tank and I can never understand that , yes it factual but doesn't it defeat the purpose of building the model if you can't actually see it ?

Sorry you feel that way Alan, yes maybe I should have shown the vehicle before I added camo but since it is glued on and set in I won't pull it apart {you understand I'm sure} but no worries my friend, I will be putting out my Super Pershing project shortly and I promise not to load it up with clutter. P.S. vehicle is a SPG {self propelled gun} technically not a tank Thank you for your kind attention as always.............Jim

You are not wrong in any way my friend, just voicing your opinion which is what this forum is all about. I did not mean to sound defensive or to correct you in any way, all comments are welcome and much appreciated . Jim.

Oh right , it does look good I just wanted to know if you'd taken photos of it before it was all canoed up , I wasn't saying it was rubbish like that I just thought the tank :P would have been a priority as well , I've only done one with foliage on but I took photos of just the tank so people could see see it befor I put that on I wondered if you'd done the same

Thank

I really like that Jim, it's rare as hens teeth to see some Japanese armour, but you've done it proud!
I do like how your drybrushing (?) adds a subtle depth to the build - I'd like to see you do a step by step build soon?


It's crying out for some crew figures though

Thank you Patrick, I do appreciate your comments, if you would be so kind as to take a look at my "Duster SPAAG" {self propelled anti - air craft gun} thread in "completed armored vehicles" you will find a rather detailed description of my technique as asked for by our friend Amos "Tibbs" just keep scrolling the comments, you'll find it. I hope it will give you some insight into my technique until I can put together something proper in a "build in progress" thread, again I am indeed flattered that you would take an interest my way of weathering etc.. Cheers...Jim

It's a pity unless I was a writer my tone doesn't come over in texts well, I wasn't annoyed or anything! keep up the good work


Cheers

Can collect little do-dads from the gardens now, just dried them and sprayed the with some clear-coat. was rather fun this one.. Cheers!

It ain't THAT bad is it?

We can go days before anyone responds sometimes. It's no reflection on your work, just whether people see it. I'm no tank expert, but it looks great on that base and the foliage is a nice touch I think. Great build Jim.

Thanks Joe, I really appreciate that..........

I dig this....the foliage is fantastic! The fact that someone said it looks like a mobile bush means this looks spot on. Great build Jim.

Thanks Aaron, should have taken some pics of vehicle before gluing on veg but nothing I can do about it now ops: but next time I do a camo scene I will make sure to do so. Jim
