Tamiya Panzerkampfwagen II for Simon

[Guest]

Pete - Take a seat. It won't reach your standard I'm afraid.

Steve - Yes, tracks, who needs 'em? (well, tanks obviously). Reassuring to hear that even someone as skilled as yourself can have problems. I don't own an airbrush, so this will all be brush painted.

Peter I wish I had 1% of your skills that would make me a very happy bunny.

Peter count me in scratch or no, Simon will be happy your building some armour.

Pete - Mutual fan club then.

Scottie - Feels like a long time since I did any of this stuff. I'll do my best.

Finding it very hard to take photos at the moment, but here is the latest:



The basics of the deck are done and all detail added except for all the tools and equipment which will need to be a different colour- those I'll paint separately. I did make a mistake putting the wrong armoured plate around the drivers vision slit, but fortunately I managed to ping it off and attach the correct one. I've also given the whole thing a coat of Vallejo German Grey, ready for weathering.

I'll tackle the turret next, the interior of which will need to be painted as I go along.

Cracking on as usual, Peter!
Looking good.
I haven't done a tank since my teens. They just don't do it for me anymore, although I am blown away by the detail work the guys on here do.
Looking forward to seeing what you do with those figures

Hi Peter,
A bit late in i know,but i`m on board for the duration Sir :thumb2: ,
I`ve always liked the look of these early beasts...... although the term beast doesn`t exactly fit when compared to say,the Tiger,but in it`s day.......!
Nice start,
Andy

Looking good Peter.

Out of interest do but you dabble much in the dark art of armour? I can only ever recall you doing busts and figures.

Neil - Not usually my sort of thing either, but it's good to have a change. Nice also to have such a beautifully engineered kit after dealing with the casting issues on resin figures.

Andy - I like these early models too. They looks quite racy - built for speed rather than firepower.

Andrew - I have phases. There are several of my threads entitled 'Shenanigans' on the Military Vehicles Under Construction pages:

Pete. - Well, it has taken me three days to get this far, which is an outrageously long time in my book.

[Tim Marlow]

Looking good Peter, moving along rapidly.

[Neil Merryweather]

OOh very respectable!
and without an airbrush?
RESPECT!

Peter.
Those photos were great. I'd not seen them all before. Personally I'm glad you don't partake in Armour very often when they come out as good as those. :smiling::smiling::smiling:

[Guest]

Andrew - Thanks, but can't agree with you there. They're nothing compared to the armour builds on this site.

John - I'm toying with the idea of making up a diorama with this tank and the Protze - I had intended it for a dio when I built it, but never got around to it. The Nemrod figures would be ideal.

I can't agree with you, Peter, I think they look the business!
And those guys in the back of the Protze are just crying out for some tankies to banter with.
