Churchill...

[MikeC]

Lost all the build log due to playing around in the settings and trying to clean the blog up - note to self - leave well enough alone!!! fool.
Apart from adding the in progress tracks and a couple of other bits, this build is now complete. I am thinking about a diorama setting, but that will be for the future.
Many thanks for your contributions, comments and any other remarks - enjoy.
Cheers, Mike.

Really good weathering on the Churchil Mike. I like the fact that the there is a color contrast between the bridge and tank even weathering wise.

Cheers,

Si,
Many thanks, I wanted a different contrast between the two, as painted in different places by different workshops. Still not right but working on it.
Cheers,Mike.

Looking very good, and interesting that you’ve built it as having a working launch mechanism. The bridge deck shows the advantages of laser-cut material for this kind of subject very well too.

Jakko,
Agreed, but the 'disadvantages' are that you have very close tollerences and there is a set of 'ridges' along where the laser has cut to be removed but nothing major.
