Thanks It was fun (eventually) to try and figure out how all this actually went together from just one often-poor–quality film as a reference, but I’m quite satisfied with the outcome.That's excellent. A totally unique model - we ain't gonna see another
I certainly hope soThe build thread was great to follow along with although I'll bet a lot of people spent time on the web trying to figure out what the h*** you were building
ThanksA splendid bit of work there Jakko.
One goal achievedFollowed this from the outset,and really enjoyed the entire build blog Jakko
That was actually @Steve Jones who found the film eventuallyI had absolutely no idea of what you were actually building until you revealed it yourself!
To tell the truth, I think the real thing was probably olive drab, since this was an American tank and it appeared in a black-and-white film, so there would have been no need to have it colour be representative. But it looks more like what it’s supposed to be in Panzer grey.What i DO have a completely 100% view on,is the way you`ve completed the paint scheme!!..... To me,it looks absolutely spot on ,
It`s EXACTLY how i would`ve expected to look ....
It’s also the rivets, I think. Without that, the drybrush wouldn’t have brought out as much detail as it did. Unfortunately I then had to cover much of it back up with that dirt wash, because as you can see in the film, the real thing wasn’t exactly spotless.and,(dare i say it),just like the dry brushing techs that suit this type of German stuff SO well!!
