was my first try on welding seams, it`s pure fun
main assembly is straightforward, but Alan has again included some time consuming additions for the ambitious modeller😉

How did you make the weld seams ans what were the " time consuming" additions and btw looks nice 🙂
23 October 2013, 21:26
Fabian D.
hehe... those additions were sink- and ejector marks, which I had to fill/remove😉
making weldinglines is easier than it seems... I used a pice of stretched sprue, glued it where the line should be and waited a bit. Then you have to dissolve the piece of sprue again (with glue or better paint thinner) and wait a bit. Then and use a cutter to bring the pattern in. You´ll gett quite good results when you hold it in an agle about 45° to the surface (from below).
If you don´t like it you can sand it away copletely, (or just parts) and try it again

Ups, I guess, for the time being I leave mine in the box and get the Bronco one instead.
But, thanks for your in progress pics, Fabian. I'll follow this!

Looks interesting! Very strange vehicle though...
You mad already? 🙂

Hunter Cummins
He was mad when ever he opened the box lol😉

Fabian D.
Me? Mad? Insane? ... no way ... I've just ordered a Tristar 38 (t) with 2cm Flak, which features a 12 Part PE gear changer stick ... 😉
Well, I quite liked the bathtub style Hull and as I bought and started it, I didn't know there was an alternative ...

I just like it, it looks good. Will have an eye on it. I have so many plans for building tank destroyer models, especially the Marder and it's versions.

Thanks... been quite a time since the last update... but paint is on and stencils are on aswell... somehow I must have picked either the wrong inner or outer stencils for the german crosses as they didn´t lineup properly. tried to corrrect it... well there must have been some even such unprofessional markings😉

"been quite a time since the last update"... well again...😉
but we´re getting closer to the finish, just dust and dirt are missing now.

Looks very nice, I like how you made the wood grain. Did you preshade before painting it gray? I see different shades of grey and that gives the model more depth.
3 September 2014, 15:17
Fabian D.
Thanks Patrick. Woodgrain is just a bit burnt umber oil color on a yellow base.

I´ve never been a fan of preshading, as it never worked as I wanted it to... This tank is one of my earlier trys with color modulation with just using "lights". I´ve started with a standard panzer grey and added only lighter tones (by mixing a bit light grey in the original color) on top surfaces and in the middle of larger surfaces. Might be one or two additional tones in there. I don´t use "shades" anymore as washes and filters tend to darken the entire paintjob already. What I´ve learend afterwards is, it looks even better if you´re getting lighter the more you´re moving upwards:
running gear: "dark", a few lights
hull: more lights on big panels and brightest tone on top surfaces
trurret: lighter as hull, birghtest lights on top surfaces
I hope it gets clear, if not: I´ve used this technique on my T-34: T-34/85, Yugoslavia, around 1995 | Album by nng (1:35) (Painting starts at Pic 48 )

Patrik Spett
Thanks for the advice. I have never used color modulation but when I build a one-color vehicle I will definetly use different tones.

Finaly, after almost a year, I´m done. The bathtub is completed. Just a little dust, nothing fancy.😉

Thanks... but I just realized, I forgot to install the plug in my tub 😄
The poor crew will drown as soon as it starts raining..

Looking good... It's a ugly tank but your build is really nice!
