Tim’s Trumpeter KV-7 in 1/35

Hi Tim
That idea for fixing the cable is good. Much more robust and still looks as it should.
That is a cracking build. You've done a great job varying the paint tones. Adds interest.

I love the finish on this one Tim. Great contrast on the modulation.

Cheers Jack. Really simple to do. Spray the dark dark from below horizontal, making sure to hit all the undersides. Spray the actual body colour from about 45 degrees above horizontal, so it leaves shading, and finish by dry brushing with a lighter colour to bring out detail and texture.

Wow Tim, just playing ketchup and see you're done...This 'Beastie' has turned out very fine Sir!!! I can agree it looks a little plain as it was a prototype, but the color finish is most excellent. I especially like the finish on the tracks. Very realistic. I still have to paint mine though. A figure would definitely set it off as you said. Top job!!!....

Cheers Allen. Glad you like it. The recipe for the tracks is in the build log if you want to steal it

Glad you like her Rob. Thanks for the kind comment ref the paint. Trouble is, she was only two weeks old at the time of the trials, so she really shouldn’t look that careworn :disappointed2:

Very nice model, I like it It manages to look both cartoonish and underarmed, somehow …

I’d agree on both counts Jakko. It really does have that “back of a fag packet” design air doesn’t it….

Tim,

That's turned out really well indeed and it's it's good to see something different from the 'usual' suspects.

Very well done.

Cheers Andrew. It was nice to have made something different, but it was kind of forced on me. The choice was Hobson’s. It was the only 1/35 WW2 Russian tank kit in the shop…..

[The Smythe Meister]

That looks SUPERB Tim
The guys have said it all really... Certainly a mean looking beast,and your painting finish is the dog's mate!
Cracking Stuff indeed,I love it.

Tim, an awesome result. As Allen said, I like the tracks finish and I've already taken note on how you solved the cables problem.
