Icm wot 8

[Mark1]

Thought I would make a start on this, liking icm kits so far, nice detail without being over complicated, only a few etch parts, main front grill ,number plates and that's it, no tiny pointless bits.

Oh good,been hoping you`d start this soon!
As i said previously Mark,i`m interested to both,see what you think of the kit itself,and see how you interperate it :thumb2:,
I agree about the recent ICM kits in general..... very nice,and vastly underrated....IMHO.
Good luck with it mate..... following all the way,
Andy

Well as I'm still pretty much a novice compared to a lot of you guys here I'm just hoping not to end up over painting and over weathering it to be honest lol. Might attempt a based for this as well,that we'll be another first so cheers I well probably need that good luck :smiling:

Mark!..... Don`t get me wrong here......
..... I`m not coming at you from a big "I AM" angle....... that`s just not me at all!:thumb2:......
..... I am in NO WAY AT ALL an "Expert",(No-one ever truly is in this modelling Lark.... we are ALL,ALWAYS learning),i`m really looking in as i have the same kit,and am interested in your thoughts and take on it:smiling: ,NO pressure meant mate.....
.........It`s just a hobby after all,and you should enjoy what you`re doing,otherwise there`s no point!!
EVERY ONE of us had to start at some point,......
Enjoy building it and put up pics whenever you want,we`re ALL here to help,learn and be prepared to experiment:thumb2:,
What i`m trying to say,in a very round about Devonian way is.......
Enjoy your model,do what you want with it,ask questions,(NO Question is a silly one!!),we`ve ALL asked anything you can think of in the past!!
Crack on mate...... Have fun,and welcome to the "Forever Novices information society"..... EVERYDAY IS A SCHOOL DAY!!

Hi Mark
Love these old trucks. I have not made an ICM kit but they have some nice reviews.

That truck looked familiar as I had seen some D-Day images of them wading in the surf towards the beach with a tractor on standby if any get stuck.
That could be a good base if you're looking to do one.

Cheers,
Richard

No worries mate, :thumb2: just saying this won't be as an exciting a build as some, and im glad to have your interest:smiling:

[GerryW]

All builds are interesting, just some are way beyond my meagre skills - will be great to see another 'normal' human doing the building (rather than the 'supermen' that are here!) :upside: :smiling5:

:smiling5: nicely put Gerry! LOL

Saying that, I've learnt loads in the short time that I've been here - and I've 'pushed' myself to try new things (not sure if I've done these folks justice with them though!)

I know what you mean,just put some colour on my t55 and tried some black and white preshading for the first time,far from brilliant but practice makes perfect and I think it looks better than my normal colouring in!

Mark,
I've got the WOT 6 in the stash, so I'll be following this with interest. I've made quite a few ICM softskins, they can be a bit complicated, but worth the effort!
One thing I would say is - ensure the chassis is square! - I always let mine really set overnight - that way you have a fighting chance to get all 4 wheels on the ground ( at the same time ).
Enjoy!
Dave

Cheers Dave, last one I did let set with a little bit of weight on it.
