Building a 1/6 Scale Tank

Hi Ian and John.

Do a model at this scale is curious, enterteining and exasperating simultaneously.

When it starts taking size it's gratifying, on having started painting one despairs... The painting dries off in the airbrush, dirt gets up with so much air and the painting doesn't remain perfect.

I don't repent, but it's becoming very long al....

But I'm happy you like it friends!!

Ps. Thanks for your comment Jeff, I don't exactly where I will show yet...

Regards

Polux

So are you going to have a go at the Sherman after this one then... :smiling:

If I had one of them I would probably end up putting RC in it...Hmm.

Richard (Bunkerbarge) gave me this idea too. But you can believe me, it's a tank of paper and carton.

It's more 'strong' a little one than this.... :lol

Hi friends!

I have been worked at this model last days.

The tracks are ended, 3 days with them....., and now only rest paint and weathering the turret. If everything is OK they don't stay more than approximately three days than work to finish it!!

Another finished project!! Probably today it could publish some photo, and shortly open a thread in compled tanks.

Thanks to all

I have seen some review of the Sherman, where there is some that have the opinion that its pretty much assembled with only a few small bits and bobs to add. Don't take my word for it though. Before splashing out on it, have a good read of the reviews and such. I for one would be disappointed if it is ready built.
