Flying tank

[eddiesolo]

si it actually is on a muddy track with puddles around it I will find the pics later and pop them on here.

So it is Ken, apologies I was just looking at the tank itself and not the board. I still don't it looks that bad mate.

[Guest]

here is tonights update, I've tried an experiment and used pastels and water I think it looks quite good, but feel free to disagree, I want to improve.

Looking good. I like the effect.

Personally I think try new things is very important for a modeller

[monica]

liking it trying to work out what you are doing with it before you do to see if im right

[Guest]

This kit is not for novice tank builders(the parts fit perfectly, it's the instructions)the instructions are very vague and confusing. I built their tiger type I tank as my first and the instructions were great but these are not 3 times I have had to unglue things as they have been in the wrong place and there is a round adjuster handle and gearing which goes in the lower gun turret that I am going to just have to guess where it goes as where the arrow points there is no obvious place to attatch it,shame as all the parts (when in the right place( or not the right place even) fit perfectly, in fact it is the best fitting kit I have built in a long time.

Will post some pics of where I am at later, need some help, I think I've managed to hide where I glued things in the wrong place, but need help with the filters i did the weathering and it looked good(to me anyway) then thought I would try painting the filter over the top and all the definition seems to have gone out of it (stupid me) don't know what I thought the effect would be, but I know now.Still show some pics later

[Guest]

So everyone here are the promised pics

Taking shape nicely Ken

Thanks Lee soon be adding some wings. I won't be putting the decals on it as it will change a lot, if it goes as I visualise it, will try to make the wings detachable so I can still show the interior as I am really pleased how that has turned out, not so keen on the outside. When I've finished building it I may wash it all off as when they rebuild a tank or whatever into a newer version I am sure it would all get a new paint job. I've only been weathering it as practise anyway. Hopefully my challenger will be better when I do that.

Very nice work Ken. Good weathering, the pastels have worked well.
