[Guest]

I made a few boxes today....

[Guest]

Making some details here and there.

First it's the antenna.



Then a stiffener for the mudguard



And last I did one of the headlights.

[Guest]

This is brilliant as always Johnny but I have to confess I look forward to the next post on the 109 more!!

[Guest]

My plan is to finish the 109 the coming week.I have put the wings on

Will take some shots later!

[Guest]

The jack



Placed where it belongs



Two hooks on the rear mudguard



Another box on the front part of the left mudguard



And the arrangement for the spare tracklinks

[Guest]

Some more details made tonight.

The tow wire

The wire is real o,5mm steel wire



Another box on the rear of the left mudguard



The showel



And some strips under the front mudguards

[Guest]

Working on the detailing really takes some time...

Here is what I got done last nightshift.

Some of the tools and one of the visors



A bulbe on the "Hood"



Some tools on the opposite side



I got the last hinges at the rear end in place, and painted the holders for the wire



Overview

[Guest]

Utterly remarkable. Can we get these things in the states?

[Guest]

My word!!! You have a singular kit there old chap... never tried my hand at cut-en-stick afv's, this tank does you great credit.

:knight:

Everything is available over there

Had to take a break from details......and do some trackwork

Here we see the diferent parts of the tracks.



I put together half a side and applied a combo of panzergrey and rust to the links.I will add some more polished metal on the pattern later.

[Guest]

I had a really lazy shift last night.....

I did a try to apply some polished metal on the tracks.

Here you can see I have started. But I wonder if it's enough or does it look completely out of line?? My lousy color vision prevents me very effective in things like this where I just have to guess what I'm doing....

[Guest]

Looks great to me!

This is all very fascinating to me. Is there a basic starter paper kit you can recommend for a guy who's interested in giving it a try?

[Guest]

I don't know a lot of starter kits, but the free models available I guess are a bit easier to deal with.

I'm not sure If thats what will suit everyone....I just jumped into it and bought models I liked.Thats a bit over two years ago....My philosofy was: If others can do it....I'm sure I can!!

So my advice is to get what model interests you in the medium difficulty.

Most kits are rates 1,2,3 or 1-5 or other ratings. So for my first i went for a medium model that was the Schwimmwagen from Modelik.

And I had done no modeling since I was 13-14 years old,and back then with plastic kits.Now I'm 45 and really love working with paper.

The most important thing I did, was to search papermodelling forums for tips and teckniques and of course if I was lucky I would find a buildthread that really showed how things should be done.

Anything you want to ask? just do! you can not ask stupid questions..you can only get stupid answers

So don't be afraid to ask!!

[Guest]

Hello guys!

I made the rest of the track and finished the left side tonight.

[Guest]

A peaceful moment...

Since I didn't bring my tools with me at work today I did some work on the small diorama for the Luchs.

This is roughly how it's going to end up when it's done.

I will call the scene a peaceful vacation from the battles....



Someone has it comfy!
