What's on the Bench 2024

[PaulTRose]

I look forward to seeing the CR42 go together.

[PaulTRose]

Hull upper and lowers together

[PaulTRose]

Basics together and had a waft of white primer

Get some colour on tomorrow

[Andy the Sheep]

M1A2 received the main paint coat
AK Real Sand with a drop of Zinc Chromate Yellow to change the too brownish hue of the Sand paint.





Tomorrow a clear gloss coat then a week away from the bench (family calls). Weathering and external loads will follow.

Looking good.

Plan is to leave the stug in plain dunkelgelb.....and give the scurzen armour some camo stripes in dunklegrun and rotbraun

[PaulTRose]

Since idont have an airbrush at the mo i had to get creative with a rattle can to do the camo on the scurzen

Scurzen is still on the sprue in the pic......i just wanted to see what it looked like

Next step is a clear coat for the decals and then a wash of some sort

[Steven000]

It's a shame to admit, but I've never cleaned my airbrush behind the trigger-seal... The seal should have been replaced about 2 years ago, but I've kept ignoring it because the airbrush still was able to spray paint...

But lately I had more and more troubles (with the vms varnish etc) so today I finally took it apart and replaced the seal, took me 2 hours to clean all the inside bits, lots of caked paint...

Is it too early to get festive?


My mates idea, he sees loads of them when over in Spain at Christmas time. Rather than paying to have his used tyres removed he might actually make a few quid if he can sell some.

Still WIP, the top tyre (hat) is now gloss black

Pretty cool.

[PaulTRose]

Still plodding away at this

Been messing about with some humbrol washes......wasnt happy with them and in the end went back to making my own

Picked out details on the stug and the scurzen now needs a coat of matt varnish to tone it all down then assemble the tracks and wheels and look at it from there to decide if some mud gets sploged about

Also had a go at a few figures.......something im really not good at doing...my hands arnt steady enough....my hat gets doffed to any one who can do figures

[scottie3158]

Coming on nicely mate.

[PaulTRose]

Wheels and tracks on

I need a break to think how im going to do some muddying up

[Jim R]

Looking very nice indeed.

[minitnkr]

Looking very Stugly.

I'm planning a little scene that will need a nice sturdy base, so I was back out to the shed and sliced up two pieces of spare 18mm MDF with my track saw.

I may end up trimming them a little, but so far 800 grams of wood ought to keep everything planted.
