Very nice build, Dirk... Like the extra weight in that big "Beast" 👍

Time for some Filters with Oilcolors ... not exactly what I wanted but ... well let's see how it works out ...

Looks like the tracks from AFV Club don't fit properly to the M88. :-/
Am I the only one with the problem ? Does anyone have a hint how I can fix this without trimming the sprocket with a cutter ?

Instead of just using the AFV Club cal.50 OOB I wanted to pimp it with a RB Model barrel. But I'm wondering what the part to the red side of the red line on picture 79 is ? Has anyone an idea ?

The M88 is slowly coming to an end 🙂
I'm not sure if it's dirty enough or if I should keep it like this. I think I'll check again in a few days.

Excellent work Dirk! The weathering, particularly dust effects, is just perfect! Did you "painted" the dust effects with the pigment/ water mixture? Will the tank have it´s place on a dio? 👍

Very nice!

nice work so far... do love the weathering...

Jonns Pfeiffenberger
sehr geil! Du weisst, ich mag es gerne schmutzig, wobei mir die Hülle gut gefällt, aber die Ketten sind noch zu sauber. Oder kommt das mit der Verschmelzung auf dem Dio? 👍 👍

Love the subtle weathering, blade in particular.

Thanks a lot guys !

@coporado : Yes the dust effects were "painted" with a normal brush with pigments and lighter fuel. Of course the M88 will have its Base with some GIs and a Watchtower 🙂

@Jonns : Sagen wir es mal so : Ich hab vergessen die Lauffläche der Kette mit den Pigmenten zu behandeln 🙂
Die wird auf jeden Fall noch eingestaubt, aber ich denke langsam, dass ich dem M88 komplett noch mehr Staub & Co. gönnen werde.

with a normal brush with pigments and lighter fuel ????
lighter fuel ?
not something I've heard of before.....
29 May 2015, 19:23
Dirk Fries
Uhm .. it's the translation for the german expression "Feuerzeugbenzin" according to dict.leo.org 😉
Well it's this fuel you can fill your zippo with. What's the correct expression in english ?
29 May 2015, 19:29
Dirk Fries
"Lighter fluid" ? Is this correct ?
29 May 2015, 19:35
Rui S
I use Lighter fluid with oils, it doesn't dry so fast...😉
29 May 2015, 19:39
Dirk Fries
I have to admit that I appreciate the fast dry when it comes to pigments. This allow me wo work pretty fast.

Spent some time to do a new Watchtower. I just love oil colors 🙂

Dirk , the patina is great, 👍 but I think you should, some how, simulate the fixing methods of that wooded structure. In my bridge, I used some nails and staples😉

Love it.. the weathering is just amazing

Bart Goesaert
Tower looks nice, with a sharp pencil it is possible to add the nails/scews, just by making a black point on the wood...
2 June 2015, 07:02
Dirk Fries
Hi @all, thank's a lot for your comments. I got me some pretty thin steel wire ( 0.3mm ) and I will try to simulate the nails with this wire.

Thanks a lot, guys ! 🙂
Today I worked on a M60 by plus model. 12 parts for the MG, 6 for the Ammo-Box. Took by about 2-3 hours to get this one finished. Im not satisfied with the Ammo Bet, yet.

vehicle is looking really fantastic. lovely old verliden figures, i have some of those too 🙂
16 April 2017, 17:49
Dirk Fries
Yeah, it's a pitty that we have to say "Good Bye" to the good old Verlinden Stuff. Maybe those figures aren top notch for todays standards, but to me this Verlinden stuff is the stuff that I watched with big eyes as I was a kid.
16 April 2017, 17:54
Spanjaard
we all did! it was a shock when i read the he had closed down and all. he was maybe not the best, and maybe he used some dubious practices to keep himself on top when we has one of the only ones... but he certainly made a difference when he started selling his superdetail kits, and resin figures.... the beginning and the end of an era
16 April 2017, 20:26
Rui S
"dubious practices"?
17 April 2017, 23:13
Spanjaard
yes, i am afraid that when other people started selling resin kits etc, mr Verlinden tried force stores to sell only his own stuff. "if you sell theirs, you will not have mine". basically blackmail stuff.... he did a lot for the hobby, being one of the first, but on the other hand he wanted to keep the business for himself only.
18 April 2017, 09:11
Dirk Fries
Ooops - I wasn't aware of that. No Mr. nice Guy ...
Anyway I can not understand why all of those forms were destroyed. I'm sure sooner or later someone would have bought those forms and the brand "Verlinden" to proceed with the tradition. But now it's too late and as far as I know all forms are gone ...
18 April 2017, 20:39
Spanjaard
absolutely agree with you Dirk. a shame those are all gone.
