    Trumpeter 1/35 E-75 '' Retaking Berlin ''

    Hello All and all hello ...

    Right ... so I got a new finished kit to show you dear readers. In all honesty, I am so stressed and will be until the 11th of September. I have a minimum of 18,000 words dissertations to write and I only done like 10,000 words on it, therefore; I AM FREAKING OUT. To calm down, I finished up this E-75 and took photos the other day and now, finally posting about it.

    I wanted to go crazy with the paint scheme as this is a paper panzer but I cannot go over the words of she-who-must-be-obeyed ( only girlfriend in my case, no wife yet :P ). Girlfriend said she wants to see this in dark green and dark yellow. I tried negotiating for olive green as you all know olive green is far more correct but she didn't budge from dark green. I dare not cross her, therefore, dark green it is. Haha. I used Revell Aqua (Acrylic) Dark Green thinned with the fantastic all-around acrylic thinner from Ultimate Modelling Product. The dark yellow is a mix of Tamiya Dark yellow and other yellows and brown that I could find as I was running dangerously low with Dark Yellow.

    The added on mesh armours were made from Eduard P.E. Mesh sheet and Ever Green Stryene Channels ( or angular U ).

    I also put on some wood applique armour on the lower glacis plate. I used the actual wood from the ice lollies sticks ( whatever they are correctly called as I can't remember the correct term right now).

    Well, that's about as much I can sum up about the build. More informations and more photos and bigger ones (4000X3000) can be found on my blog -

    Please do have a look and thank you so much in advance for any feedback you guys may have. C&C are welcomed. Just be gentle... LOL.

    Thank you for always supporting and for the kind words and various encouragements.

    Until the next launch.

    You've done a great job there made all the better by the improvised use of the sticks(although how much protection they would have offered I doubt it would have had much effect) great weathering as well

      Another stunner Gary, despite interference of the female kind...(she isn't going to read this is she?) Lovely work and great weathering.

          Beautiful model "Big Barrel"

          The weathering looks excellent.

          Can I ask if you forget to weathering the cable..? Or is this his color?

                I really do doubt about the protection .. but the Russians used them quite extensively during the battle for Berlin so I guess it must have worked for some degree ... thank you for your kind words

                ahahahahahah... no she won't .... well, i wouldn't exactly call it interference.. In fact, I am grateful for her '' direction '' .... it looks really nice with this scheme... who knows what I would have done if I did it without her '' direction ''

                That's the colour ... I kind of messed up the cable's paint job .... not happy with it in all honesty ...
