Comrade Smirnov was a wee bit inebriated when he painted the red line. Its great to see your research has picked up on this with your build. Well done sir

Looking forward to seeing your oil work

Loving these cars Steve, just for you I might even do the camo and winter wash !!! That decal might have easily ended up in the bin.

Looks ok to me.

Thank you Ralph . :smiling3:.
John.

Evening glue fans, here at Race Towers things have been progressing .
While waiting for some wheels amongst other things I've decided to go back to the river.
The gap around the T38 seemed a bit wide, so out with the filler
I've made up the first batch and buttered up the sides of the model. Once in place I added some Vallejo colour, and worked it in with a brush. There are still sections of white filler showing, but will paint those in later .
It took another mix to get right in, I've left the side and the rear quite undulating to give the impression of water movement .

It will be interesting to see how this works with the water.


Loads to do yet before any liquid gets poured with some colouring when it's completely dry .

Thanks for looking in .
Comments welcome .
John .

Aye up John - looks like you got a tad carried away with the splodge stuff.

In reference photos, although sitting low in the water, it was still possible to see the front end of the top track run and sprocket but you appear to have totally filled in the gap now

Coming along nicely John :smiling3:.

Hi Simon, yes realised that as soon as I had the first lot of filler in, oh well the least seen of those tracks the better ! :smiling3:
I have since altered it .

Coming along nicely John :smiling3:.

Cheers Ralph.

Rick, :smiling2:, Christine said it could we'll be stuck in thick mud ! .

Well this afternoon I removed it from the luckily still unset filler. Soaked the model base in warm water, ( where by it floated very well .) And removed the bits of filler from the model .

Made up a fresh mix of filler and built up the base to lift the tank higher .

[JR]

Tried to upload 3 more photos from my phone and had a message saying too big !
Can't under stand why .

I've been away for 5 days on a cheapo with a certain Irish Airline and just plugged in!
Nice work thus far old lad.
Re loading pictures. I found out this morning my Hurricane thread photos were gone. I didn't have any trouble re- loading them. I used 640 x 480 size.

Good to be back with the boys and girls.
