Another masterpiece.
There is an A7V in Australia.
We Aussies are good at pinching, I mean acquiring things

Thanks mates. 🙂
Wim: I wasn't impressed with the Gasoline range either and certainly not impressed with the prices. Mine cost probably 1/3 of what that kit cost and I enormously enjoyed the built – probably more so than any kit I've ever done.
Wilky: At least the Aussies had the sense to save one – I'm glad they did.

Holy s#*t Gorby. This is AmazIng! I am about halfway done reading the brexit thread and... the rivets, THE RIVETS!!! Very educational, and definitely very entertaining. Not surprised you left this boring lot for the "others"😉 😄. I am starting a scratchbuilding project myself, but it will be of kinder garden variety compared to your undertaking. Cheers 👍

Wow, impressive work Gorby. The build log on Brexit is awesome. I'm going to use that rivet idea for sure! Oh and I did get the Kryten reference. I saw an episode filmed!

Thanks very much mates!😉
The rivets were far from the most enjoyable part of the build but these early tanks would look naked without them. I'll look forward to your scratch-build Alec, no doubt it will be astounding.

Thank you for your nice words gorbygould, but I think they're a bit exaggerated. I've still a lot to learn with Mates here, including with you 🙂

Scott: I was well impressed with your build and I referred to your photos to help with mine, so thanks.
Bart: Yes that bugs me as well. I did put a load of lead inside the tank, but it isn't heavy enough to weigh it down sufficiently. I'm going with the experimental super extra heavy-duty barbed wire excuse.😉

Thanks very much Frank, your praise has made my day! 🙂
Up until this, tanks were of little interest to me, but I thoroughly enjoyed this build, probably more than any model I've ever done. It kept my brain working right to the end. I'm not saying that there will be no more aircraft from me, but there will certainly be more AFV in my near future. 👍

Thanks Capt & Pietro.
I would have loved to add some figures Capt, but certainly at the time this was built there were no WWI British troops available in 1/48.

I did do a full build report...on another site, a site which has now unfortunately died. It was only yesterday I removed the dead link to the report - I don't know if that pushed this post to the top of the feed, I though that just happened when you added more photos.

Thanks Kesa. This was my first full scratch build - I only built it because there wasn't many WWI vehicles or tanks in 1/48 at the time. It sort of got me hooked on scratch building. 🙂

Well man good for you. I assume scrach building is pretty hard so you've definitely outdone yourself. And with all the small details i assume you've got a pretty steady hand for a man your age (no offence ofcourse)

It's easier that you think Kesa, although it probably best if you start with adding small bits on kits.

So I just finished this little Italian job. The decals came out with a lot of the edges showing, which then got a lot worse when I added some washes. I used Microset on the decals, and then sealed them with Tamiya semi-gloss before the washes, but it actually looks like the washes got under the decals. Any thoughts?

It looks like you haven't spray gloss coat before you applied decals. Or decals didn't set well. There are two solutions. One is lacquer thinner. Put the thinner with fine brush in dots over the place where you have silvering. Thinner should destroy the film. If it raises paint under, just leave it, it will settle back. Important thing here is that, once you applied thinner, you shouldn't touch decal for something like 20 minutes, at least. Second way is mix of sugar and water, half - half. You make a hole with a needle on the decal, than you put mix on the top. It should enter in the space between decal and paint and, when drayed, make a gloss film in between them which will act as a gloss under the decal. Wipe excess mix with wet cloath and you are done.

How annoying. I've never heard of the sugar water trick from Bogicevic. I'll be interested if this works. If the thinner, sugar trick fails, what else can you do but use a scalpel to cut around them, since you've sealed it,

Thanks mates! I believe Bogicevic is right. I think I did fail to gloss coat before the decals. I think I'll try the sugar water first

Ok. There are few small tings I should add then. Heat the water first, when hot it will disolve sugar beter and apply it while it's still warm, it will have more viscosity. Make small hole or slice with modeling knife, put few drops of mix on the top and let it dry. You will see emidiatly if it's penatrating. When dry, wipe carefully excess mix with moist cloth. Repeat where neaded. I know it sounds ridiculous, but it worked for me many times.

Thanks Bogicevic! I'll give it a shot. If it doesn't work I'll try the lacquer thinner technique. I love this site!

Thanks Mark! So I punched some holes in the decals and applied the warm sugar water, but unfortunately it did not seem to make a noticeable difference. I decided my best shot was to just grab the scalpel and remove the decals, which was very easy. Bogicevic said the solution would get under the decals! I have successfully applied new decals, and my little Italian job is now base-worthy. New pics to come.

Well, you find a solution, which is the most important thing. I can not know why something that worked for me many times does not work for you in this case. Maybe that what I think is silvering is residual glue from decal paper. Who knows... Anyway, good luck with your project.

All's well that ends well. 👍 Mango, your builds have me hankering to do some armor but I still have commitments to do a couple more a/c. When I do get a chance, part of me wants to start small with a Pz IV, but another part says go for broke and do a Maus!

Thank you all! The palm tree is badass, but I can only take credit for the placement. I got it off an Ebay seller from Thailand, Thannan Diorama Exporters. Not cheap, but I had to get one to see if they were as good as they look. They are! Also need to give a shout out to Value Gear for much of the stowage.

I enjoyed the discussion of fixing decal stuff as decals are always hard for me. One thing to add, I have been adding tamiya gloss clear (X-22) to my paint mixtures when I paint tanks. This gives the finish a slightly more glossy surface and I find I can do decals and pinwashes/oil washes without a separate gloss coat, and I do a flat coat after to dull the surface. I first tried this on my M3 Lee build. I should take better pics of that one. I think I got the idea indirectly from uncle nightshift (someone told me it was in one of his videos, didn't see it myself). I don't get joy from spraying endless coats of clear on models, I find it's hard to get all the nooks and crannies, so mixing the clear with the color coat makes it easier to see what I'm doing. Maybe an idea for the future.
That's a cool little Italian tank and the diorama is great as well! Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for the tips and comments Ben! I have always been hit or miss with decals. Sometimes they come together like clockwork, and sometimes it's a hot mess. This M13/40 is a perfect example. First set of decals required a full do—over, but the second try went off without a hitch. Sometimes the decals aren't so good, but more often than not I think human error is my problem.
