And now that I'm back on, um, Track, They fit ok but note to self: Never glue and finish the drive sprocket before using indy links to make sure the teeth are parallel and even. A slight bind has been detected and quickly swept under the rug before anyone ( Especially the SCM folks ) notices it. Hahaha!!

Well seems I over cured the first batch of track making them so fragile they disintegrate if a rat farts in Detroit so I made a whole new set. This pic was taken at 3x with my digital microscope, yes I bought it just for models. I cannot recommend the Elegoo Saturn 3 Ultra resin printer enough, as seen I added a wash and sure enough the casting numbers are on each link. Very tiny, but there. I'll be assembling these lovely track runs forthwith 🙂

Some may have noticed the lack of Tiran 4 pics lately, I got into some side projects for friends and family making resin statues of our little one's and also my step son and his wife. Theirs was ready just in time for the wedding a week ago. So I thought Id at least show everyone a few examples of what I've been up to. Now Im changing gears back into tanks.

Id love some honest feedback on my attempt at the canvas mantlet cover, it started out the base early IDF sand, then brushed with Ivory. Then numerous washes and drybrushings of many colors, finishing with a 3 colors mixed together of soft pastels lightly brushed on. I think I've got it close but the pics do appear a bit darker than it looks in person.

Primed, base color sprayed in 3 light coats, clear coated, and decals in place. Next is details and another clear coat, then off to weathering and still working on details.

Working away with the 50's, I decided to try to spruce them up a bit. I use my hold and fold to hold the edge of pe to clean up the attachment points with a diamond file before bending. Makes it so much easier and keeps the carpet monster at bey.

It's been busy around here so sorry for the lack of updates but I really haven't done much in the last 2 months. I'm hoping to get back into it this weekend but I'm also learning 3D printing. My grown kids all chipped in and surprised the hell out of me getting me a Elegoo Saturn 3 Ultra printer for Christmas. I was floored and still have rug burn on my lower jaw. I then had to double my pleasure and get an Elegoo Neptune 3 Pro to make automotive parts and toys for my granddaughter 🙂 She loves watching it do its thing Hahaha! Anyway, this weekend Im hoping to finally start using the Saturn to create tank parts, especially track for this one. I just have to have track with pins like the real thing. Ok, Im off to fix a washing machine, then maybe a lil tank time. There will be pics soon.... I hope 😛 (edit becuz old man cant speel )

I think it looks convincing. It looks "dusty" like pores in fabric have accumulated dirt in a way the surrounding metal would not. I think that's why it works well. If you could get it to be more flat that would help, but it might just be the lighting.

Thanks Ben, right now the rest of the tank is still glossed for decals and washes, so a few light coats of matte will be coming soon.

I hope no one minds me sharing a couple non tank pics just to show what I've been up to for a month. I got carried away with my resin 3D printer. lol
