Tony's "In Deep"

[Guest]

That's looking great. I once owned a Tamiya 1/35 kit without the trailer but alas it disapeared before I could make it.

Saw one at the 'Tank Fest' at Bovi the other year, it did a few circuits of the arena with the Tiger and Panzer III. Though the driver took it very carefully as it looked a bit unsteady.

A few more pics. Primed some of the parts. What is the best way of painting the tyres?

One way of painting tyres is to spray the whole wheel in the paint colour then, using a compass cutter, cut disks of masking tape the size of the inner wheel and rim, apply one each side then spray the tyre colour. I did this once, but I mainly stick the painted wheel on a cocktail stick and hand paint it.

This is coming on a treat Tony, well done mate, keep up the great work, regards Martin :-)

Will try that Graham tonight with the other trailer wheel tonight. Hope to paint the motor and front wheel as well. Still working on the canvas cover. Tony

This kit has a cast engine and dates back to 1978 and the BMW is dated 1973. Some oldies?

Hi Tony

Ooo! what a luverly pair...

...of kettenkrads!

Really nice builds. Which one will feature in the dio 1/35 or 1/48? Looks as though you had no bother in the build.

Great progress

I like Graham paint the wheel then the tyre. For the tyre I normally use quite well thined paint s it makes it easier to follow the rim of the wheel as you turn the pin you are holding it on. A long haired brush also helps to eat the shakes befor they reach the wheel :-)
