SimonT - 1/72 Voroshilovets Tractor

[Si Benson]

I’m shocked Simon:surprised:
There’s paint going on....was it deliberate :smiling5:

Hi Simon
The extinguishers turned out nice. I'm sure you'll get the paint sorted. And no luck on finding this tractor in 87 scale.
Cheers, Rick H.

Pity about the paint, I'm sure you will sort it Simon, interesting build of a rather unusual looking beast!

Never seen you work so quickly Mr T. I take it you are going back to work soon?:smiling3::smiling5:

[COLOR=rgb(147, 101, 184)]John[/COLOR][COLOR=rgb(147, 101, 184)] [/COLOR]- paint's sorted. I got the 35th Voroshilovets and an AT-T from Amazon (won £60 on lottery so decided to invest wisely :smiling: )

[COLOR=rgb(147, 101, 184)]Si [/COLOR]- cheeky, yes it was. I am trying to improve my painting/finishing so need to get a few assembled to practice on

[COLOR=rgb(147, 101, 184)]Rick [/COLOR]- thanks. You could always move up slightly to a more accessible scale.....:thinking:

[COLOR=rgb(147, 101, 184)]Graeme[/COLOR] - thanks

[COLOR=rgb(147, 101, 184)]Steve[/COLOR] - these new Trumpeter kits use clever moulding to cut the parts count. Went together pretty quickly

There has been some progress on this one

still a work in progress - need to blend in some of the highlights a bit more for a start.....

Simon
I really like the looks of the canvas tarp and seats very convincing

[SimonT]

Thanks Lee :thumb2:

[Mini Me]

Terrific results so far! I'm sorry Simon but I'm too heavily invested in 1/87 scale (500+) unbuilt kits and counting.:thumb2:
Cheers, Rick H.

Great start on the paint work MrT. You certainly cant tell there was a mishap on the roof new. Great save. Looking forward to seeing the finished article:thumb2::thumb2:

[SimonT]

Rick - :smiling: I know what you mean, I have a similarly large stash of 76 & 72nd

Jim, Si, Scottie, John, Steve - thanks all. Trying hard to get my painting and finishing a bit better - it has always been a bit of a necessary evil as I prefer the building stage

A few more pictures

made a start on highlighting the track assemblies - still very much WIP

:thinking:hmm, looked better at normal scale as usual - large blow up doesn't do it any favours

[Steve Jones]

It's looking okay from here Mr T. I know blown up 1 72 scale photos don't always do the builds justice. However I do find its a good source of pointing out those glaring mistakes I make. I hope you have had a chance to move this one on a bit more.:thumb2:
