Steady progress. Did you light the stern?

Thomas Wirsching
Great job so far! I would love to get an explanation about how to do these LED lighting in detail as I have no idea about this.

Thanks Tim, Villiers, and Thomas. I did put a led for the trolled sonar bay back at the stern. It is apparently not bright enough to be really visible. Probably not noticeable after finished.

I prefer to use Led tape light as it has build in resistors so I don't need do calculation to figure out the resistor value. Once that is sorted, what left is just connect the led unit with a battery and a switch. I think it is better to ask a trained electrician as the circiut I built don't last long and I don't really know why.

I expect modelling of the highest quality from your bench. So far I am not disappointed. 🙂
Keep it up.

Hm, how long did it take to make the nice looking ocean surface? It certainly looks like a fun project.
I wish I knew how to make such ocean surfaces, as it really seem to complete a model with such a diorama.

I am no expert on led's but my impression is that one has to be careful that the voltage to the led's is controlled to specs, so they don't burn out shortly after and end up being un-repairable inside the model. Also, something about connecting led's in parallel, pattern iirc, to avoid one dead led blacking out all the rest of the leds in a serial connection, iirc.

Your build is already mindblowing; 漂亮]!

Tim
Your sea base is looking really nice.

Hang Li
Thanks Treehugger, THomas and Tim.
As for the sea base, you can check a YouTube channel called ''studio blue ocean'', I basically followed his videos. And treehugger did a pretty good summary for LEDs. The voltages is very important and it is always needed to put some resistors in series to potect the LEDs. The size of the resistors can be calculated with ohms' law. There are small circuit boards for LEDs which can be used to make everything easier.

Impressive amount of detail

Have decided on my next victim, so pulled this one out of the stash this morning and gave the parts a rinse to clean off the mold release agents etc. Hope to make a start on it in the next day or so once dried. Similar to the Panzer 1A that I built previously, but this one is slightly longer due to having an extra road wheel, as well as a modified rear engine deck and exhaust due to having a different engine. Haven't decided if it will be based in France or Greece yet, but definitely leaning towards the grey and brown camouflage per the box art.

Man good luck, hope it turns out well

Thanks 🙂

Another 1/16 scale tank 👀
Count me in, James 👍

Sebastian Meyner
Great work so far James 👍 Following 👀

I'd recommend adding the superstructure from front to back as you can have alignment issues. You can get decals for the fire extinguisher, which are not in the kit.

James C
Thanks guys 🙂

Really enjoying the larger 1/16 scale, and finding them much easier on the eyes to assemble.

Thanks John and yeah, that's what I did with the "A" version I built previously.

I got quite a bit more done today with both track runs mounted for a test fit. They worked out quite well in the end, being much better than the plastic links that come in the kit. Far easier to assemble as well as only took a couple of hours versus several days for the stock plastic parts. Adds a nice bit of weight to the model as well. Still need to adjust the tension a little to get them sagging properly but pretty happy with how they turned out. Started to loose the natural lighting so will leave the turret assembly and smaller detail parts for tomorrow.

James C
Finished off the assembly a little while ago. Just needs a little clean-up in a couple places before I tear it apart again to airbrush a coat of black primer on it. I'm hoping it will be a little warmer tomorrow which will help with drying times. Am also considering adding an extra link to both track runs as in hindsight the tracks look a little tight at present with 97 links.

Mr D
Really nice.
. like it 👍👍

Very nice result. Fantastic job 👍
Enhorabuena, Luis!

Highly impressive 👍

Mr D
Fantastic 👌👌
Love the paint job and subject 👍👍
I've been waiting to try and Eduard kit .... and this is right up my street as a Soviet era fan.
Brilliant 😁👍👍
