cobraman Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 Great detail. How much will be seen when build is complete ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ferrarijoe Posted October 4, 2014 Author Share Posted October 4, 2014 I am leaving top of hull removable. Then I am going to make a stand for the turret. I cut the top of the turret off since it has full detail of gun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim B Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 That's a lot of detail. Almost a shame to close up the hull. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mustang1989 Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 That thing is rich in detail and is gonna eat up any weathering you can stand to apply onto it. Nice! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ferrarijoe Posted October 6, 2014 Author Share Posted October 6, 2014 Been working on turret and trying to get rid of ejector pin marks, there are a ton. Here is the turret how it is supposed to look but you cant see much in side. So I cut along the weld on the top to open it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim B Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 The Soviets sure kept a lot of ammo out in the open in their turrets, although this was probably common practice for all armies during WWII. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ferrarijoe Posted October 9, 2014 Author Share Posted October 9, 2014 (edited) Alright done with everything to get paint started. Had to order paint so it wont be here till Tuesday at the earliest. The tracks are 31.5" long. masking and this is what happened while shaking my Alclad black primer. Primer went everywhere. Primer and pre-shading done. The suspension works on this model.

ferrarijoe Posted October 19, 2014 Author Share Posted October 19, 2014 Started weathering. this is my first attempt at weathering. I used Testors CreateFx enamel stains. Which are just enamel washes.. they are on clearance at Hobby Lobby for $2.15 a bottle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ferrarijoe Posted October 22, 2014 Author Share Posted October 22, 2014 Finished it up. I liked the way the weathering came out. Made the mud with baking soda and paint. Probably should of done more on the tracks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
