Mine too. I'm twisting my own and probably making the end fittings as well. Cheers, Rick H.
I don't blame you, I didn't attempt the end fittings on either of the sets. Shall be interested in seeing your results Rick.
those tracks..... i can't wait to see the paint and the weathering..
John
Option B for me as well, looking good.
cheers
Ross
Cheers RalphOption b for me.
Anyway it's coming along nicely.
Having showed your reply to management she said its a pity the wheels are on then, some coffee stirrers and you'd' be finished.Option C for me mate. That would be the replacement of wheels with ski's and two mechanical arms coming out of the side turret to hold the poles
OPTION B..
Jim, have you been on the Sherry again ??? thanks.Hi John

Cheers DirkGood morning John, I'd say take a link out of the A side and take a picture again. Me thinks it will still look great.
followed by much swearing no doubt. Thanks Paul.A hard left turn or a hard reverse to the right? Nah. PaulE
Thank you Peter.To my untrained eye the tracks look perfect to me John. You've done a great job.
Mike If I could have got 1/2 a link out it would have been ok,Option 'B' would look the norm, but if you could get one more link out that would match most of the online photo's I have looked at, although there was one crew possibly from Outer Mongolia that fitted your subject A but with a minus... slack was not the word...
Cheers, Mike.
Love the Zombies, adds a touch of reality - just get my hat and coat. Mike.Came out well , much better than I imagined. Painting has gone well.
Thanks Ross.
Cheers Ralph

Thanks for the comments, B was the one voted for so A was reworked ad they are now waiting some final weathering. They had the Mr Hobby metal primer on and a couple of coats of browns.
The last couple of days I have been gainfully employed doing the dio base, suppose that means another page , so will post that bit later.
Both the models have been through the primer and top coat stage, I did a dark mud to the lower sections of the hull, will lighten that up as I do the weathering.
Decals, the KV ones were fairly new and posed no problems.These days I merely put a decal on the tile, followed by couple of drops of warmish water from a pipet. No more decals rolling up, thanks to Jim who I think mentioned the use of the tile.
As for the German ones......... just fell apart, old age. No comment from Mr Jones please

That was how they looked, the next time they went in the bin. SDo I looked In my decal store and found a few crosses and a couple of numbers plates, probably they didn't have them but they are very small , in fact from a 1/48 that I never finished because we all moved here..

The figures have made an appearance, that guy in the turret,, is from 3 seperate kits, his head and torso and one , and each arm for some others I had. The driver is from one body, one hand and one arm from the spares box, his head will be from Hornet.
The KV

Tried some lighter and darker mixes of paint as suggested in a book I have by some Spanish guy. Noe the decals are on I shall spray the models in acrylic varnish tomorrow ...........................................................................................................................................................................................
and then much to Steve's delight I m going to have a crack at thes oils. Suppose I should fit the fenders to the Panzer and get those tracks on the KV first.
Thanks for following.... of to do the dio base photos now , see you later. Coach leaves in 30 mins.
John.
A head less driver, no wonder they went in the river, Thanks Mike .Love the Zombies, adds a touch of reality - just get my hat and coat. Mike.
Yes Peter , me as well. not used them much before, just those ready mixed AK engine oil, and light mud. Going to take my time. Plenty of help on hereAll looking very good John. Very interested to see how you get on with the oils...
