1/35 ChTZ 60 Stalinetz Tractor by Thunder Models.

Morning John,

Blimey mate, this has come on loads in the last two days....very nice indeed:thumb2:

Hi Si, yes it suddenly all came together, thanks .

Looking great John.

Chipping on the tractor is very effective, and the dio is something else. In the shot looking across the bridge it's hard to tell where your work ends and reality begins!

Andy trying to produce a better setting for the finals. The chipping seems to be going in the right direction, thank you , enough chips I think, just the pin wash and some weathering . Don't want to over do it .

Hi John
Very productive couple of days. Figures certainly look good. Tractor has turned out well - we all said paint and a bit of wear and tear would work wonders.
Jim

You were quite right Jim, I'm more than pleased .I've collapsed the bridge and the S60 it sits well half on and half in the water. Currently on the bench for some leather work and washes .

Coming on strong. PaulE

Hi Paul, cheers buddy .

John .
Thanks for the support definitely keeps the mojo up .

[Guest]

Back and nearly finished, and need to as well what with two group builds to think about .

Did a brown wash on the S60 and a black engine oil. Seat dry brushed, and that's about it, no mud because it would have been in the heat of summer, might give it some dust ?

Here we go.












Would have liked a bit of sag under neath, but don't think there was a lot anyway.
Figures are in the process of having CA removed from their feet, and a touch up in that area.
Might get some more done tomorrow.
Thanks for looking in .
John

Too kind Neil, thanks .

Very, very nice John. Incredibly realistic.

That's a kind remark Peter, glad you think so.

Just before I came to bed, (yes I know it's only 20.34 but nothing on TV that I want to see and gardening tomorrow.)
I fitted the figures to the base, they do look a sorry crowd, the two ladies look very cross standing with the children , while the farmer stands the other side of the bridge, all looking at the utter chaos they are in.
Will finish tomorrow and post .
Thanks guys .
John .

News just in from the bridge collapse.
No serious injury's other than Ron (570 's) Grebe, who was on a fact finding mission who was nearly hit on the head. He promptly attacked the farmer as he climbed up the bank , all well now as the Grebe has been given a bowl of vodka. He is currently sitting in the bowl with a vacant look, staring at a bush .
The farmer is in trouble with both his wife and the local commissioner.

Dzhon.

Great stuff 453. It's been one super build to follow.

Get the Grebe a length of rope. He'll soon haul the dozer out of it's hole!
