pics taken on my phone and have tended to push the white content

it is what it is and I am calling it a day for this one

not the best kit - missing a lot of detail and simplified turret ring area it could have been so much better

Morning Simon,
You sound disappointed with your build and base but I think it’s pretty decent myself, well used and abused:thumb2:

Shame Trumpeter didn’t take the opportunity to make the kit a little more accurate but hey ho.
I’ll still pick one up at some point :smiling4:

You shouldn't knock yourself mate, you attain detail in miniature some of us only dream of in larger scales, upwards and onwards to the next one.

Hopefully Trumpeter will take on board the changes you have made when they do a future update on the kit. Nice to see some variation in colour on the final pics. Adds more depth and interest. Now on to Whippets and Mark 1's:thumb2:

Morning all

Si - happy with the build phase just not so happy with my painting as usual. Model collect were meant to be doing a T62 - it has been listed since they first appeared - but unfortunately it hasn't materialised yet. They seem to have now gone off into the realms of fantasy so it may never appear

Mick - thanks. If only I could do a good job of painting it :smiling:

Steve - sadly I doubt they will ever bother.

As you say, back to WW1 now

Hi Simon
We are our own worst critics. It actually looks rather good. As Mick says the detail you build in is beyond most of us.

Cheers Jim - just been looking at it and I do think it looks a bit better in real life than the photos

Sorry to read about the troubles when you were near a finish Simon...
The end result looks great to me too.:smiling::thumb2:

[SimonT]

Thanks Fernando

I have had a fiddle with the camera settings and reckon these are much nearer to what it actually looks like so I am going to inflict a few more on you all

Simon.
The weathering looks exactly like a photo of a tank in Syria.
