May 26, 2019The tank itself is composed of only 5 resin parts: the turret, main hull, two sponsons, rear, and exhaust pipes. The fit on all of them requires a lot of work.2
May 26, 2019There is no floor to this kit at all!3
May 26, 2019The engine deck is rather bare of details. Presumably everything will have to be scratch built.4
June 26, 2019Kit parts installed, except for tracks. The gun mantlet was missing, so I'm going to have to make the tank even more beat up than I originally intended to justify its absence.5
June 28, 2019Added some bits and bobs on the rear deck. I think it's ready to paint.6
June 29, 2019First stage of paint is down. A subtly modulated coat of several tones of rust.7
June 30, 2019Camo on.8
June 30, 2019Second colour of camo on.9
June 30, 2019Thick black lines between the colours help hide the mask shifting.10
June 30, 2019Battle damage!11
June 30, 2019This is the other side, the one that's supposed to have caught fire.12
July 1, 2019Some decals from the spares box. The kit did not include any.13
July 2, 2019A bit of pigments and it really comes to life.14
July 5, 2019Tracks are on. As with the rest of the model, they were very challenging to assemble..15
July 7, 2019Tracks are on. The iron oxide effect isn't as pronounced as I expected, I'm going to have to weather them a lot more.16
July 8, 2019Rubbed some pigments into the tracks and fixed up a bit of the fire damage. It's gradually fading as I apply more layers of varnish.17
July 12, 2019Starting out with the terrain.18
July 12, 2019Applying damage from the tracks and soot on the ground from fire.19
July 14, 2019Planting all this grass took forever.20
July 14, 2019The tracks left by the tank need more work.21
July 14, 2019The opposite side, with even more grass.22
July 14, 2019Blended the boundary between completely burned grass and the untouched grass a little. Going to have to work in a lot more pigments.23
July 14, 2019Added more mud to make the impressions appear deeper. On the other hand, the track prints have been irreversibly lost.
