Jack's 1/35 Tamiya M3A2 Half Track

[Jack L]

Afraid I have been terrible with progress shots...
Construction pretty much there and primed.




And then a concoction of these...

To get a base colour I'm really happy with. Nit sure it really shows on camera though.

Well that's certainly come along nicely
Like the kits hanging on the side rail, very natural looking!
Not familiar with the MRP paints myself,but they appear to be getting a lot of airtime,so must be good?!... Look forward to seeing this one develop mate.

Looks very nice Jack. Like Andy I've not use MRP paint but it does seem to have a good reputation.

Talking of colour: these vehicles would have been finished in American olive drab No. 22 (AKA No. 9) in the factory, and left in that by the British if they had no pressing need to repaint them.

Jack,
All looking good mate coming on very nicely.

[Jack L]

I don't think my updates (or complete lack of) have been particularly in the spirit of GBs, but have had preciousy little bench time so photo's haven't been the priority. We are getting there however...started painting in the details and doing some oil work (which is very much a learning process/hit and miss). Oils are wet here hence the gloss finish, but there will be a matt coat soo anyway.

A fictional halftrack in British Livery.

[Jack L]

Evenin' Jack,
That looks very cool indeed , cracking work
It's a great kit isn't it.... apart from the figures of course!!
Good stuff mate

Calling this done. Still needs a matt varnish...but I won't get bench-time now before the deadline. Completely fictional Commonwealth Half Track. Hopefully with a few unique elements to it. Lots of stuff I don't like about it...but a fair bit I love. Experimented a fair bit. Hope you like it, and thanks to Gern for setting it up and letting my join my first GB!
