David Taylor
Must have built loads of these as a kid.

Guy Rump
Wheels and ancillaries added. Additional camouflage colour added, Hataka Dark Green No 4. 🙂 Next will be the final decals for the ambulance and the figures supplied with the set. 🙂

I remember building at least one set David but then painted the fire tender red. Having done a little research, for late Battle of Britain, I decided to paint it green and dark green more in keeping with tenders from that time. 👍

Many thanks mate for your interest and like Bernd G. 👍

Awesome work.

Build completed so far. Still waiting for the metal barrel. Quite challenging to attach the Zimmerit- PE parts. Was annoying when it comes to round shapes on the turret front armor. Treating those metal parts with some heat, made them much more handy to shape. First time using Friul tracks, very time consuming, but the best track result I´ve seen so far 🙂

Spanjaard
looks certainly good already🙂

coporado
Thanks bud!

Lower part of the tank was painted and received weathering. Tracks were mounted and connected. Rear fenders were the installed. Next is masking lower section and painting the upper parts.

Christoph Kunz
Nice job. I'm taking a seat.
Is it going to be some "Magdeburg-stuff" again?

coporado
Thanks, Christoph! This time its Normandy subject 🙂

Christoph Kunz
Next time I'll read the headline.
Stupid me...

coporado
The tank received several rounds of paint. Starting with red brown primer, followed by dark yellow as base color and finally the camo pattern. Next is detail painting, and weathering.

coporado
Initial weathering steps were conducted; chipping the Zimmerit and the metal surfaces.

Weathering of the exhaust section using acrylics and enamels.

Spanjaard
looks fantastic

Neuling
I agree. Very interesting dents and battle damage.

coporado
Thanks, Gentlemen! 🙂

Nick N
The exhaust looks awesome! How did you make that?

coporado
Thanks, Nick!
The exhaust was painted in a medium grey first. The parts having armor plates underneath were left in the original painting, as these area is less affected by heat and corrosion. Then a warm white followed by a reddish brown was applied using the sponge technique. Next was rust tones painted and blended with enamels. Colors of the original camo scheme where then applied with a sponge in the areas with less corrosion, to turn out the different stages of heat impact. Finally the upper parts received a slightly black shade to simulate the exhaust fume grime.

Nick N
Thanks a lot, this is very inspiring 🙂

Tank completed, time to start the dio 🙂

Kick off for the base. Styrofoam is the desired material for house, road and pavement. As the road and pavement is covered with lots of dirt and debris, I added cobblestone only randomly. For the road thin sheets of styrofoam were shaped using a 3D printed rolling pin. In order to create more texture the stones were carved with a pencil. For the pavement an old brush was used to shape the small stones. Everything was painted in several greyish, brownish, sandy tones with acrylics.

The shape of house was cut with the Proxxon hot wire. To make the facade more interesting I added some "decoration" around the upper windows. A border seperates the upper and lower floor. Next is closing the gaps between the decoration elements at the upper windows and cover the lower floor with wood.

Just found this. Stunning work with great narrative!

coporado
Thanks Doubtingmango!

Slowly taking shape. Lower floor fassade updated with some wooden panels. Dirt and debris was added to the road and pavement and painted with the airbrush. I used the same colors I used for weathering the tank tracks. Next is windows and door installation and of course detailing the interior.

Christoph Kunz
good work, in speciall the wood paint, tip top

coporado
Thank you Christoph! 🙂

Pietro De Angelis
Great work, congrats!

coporado
Thank you, Pietro! 🙂

Lower and upper floor and walls were detailed using Balsa wood and wallpaper. Added windows using Balsa and lasercut as well as some transparent plastic for the glas parts. Also the infantry miniatures arrived meanwhile.

coporado
Scratch built some interior from balsa wood and plastic residues. The attic floor was installed. Next is finally building the lower floor entrance and preparing the roof.

More detailing on that house and a testfit with the first infantry guy.
