Jakko,
Looking good.
Looking good.
That’s what I’m aiming for The hull front was just too empty, and too obviously so, to leave it aloneNice additions certainly gives the interior a busy look.
Thanks Though it’s not that great, as it’s all actually a pretty quick bodge job — even if I walked away from that winch transmission a couple of times because I couldn’t get my head around a good way to build it. This afternoon, I took another look at the technical manual (most of the relevant pages:nice updates and scratch work
Now I know why I should stop building models with an interior …Now I know why I 'tasked' you mate ...
There is a Dutch saying that translates as “He who keeps something, has something.”
I'm sure we have all done similar. I once tried to sort out all the hundreds of left over kit parts. I gave up and they are back, jumbled up, in a big plastic box.Maybe I should have looked at that a week earlier
Looks mighty fine for a 'bodge job' to me mate. A true mage of the scratchity for sure!
It could be done a lot better, I assure you But as I mentioned before, the front bits are there more to give the impression that everything is there, rather than to be truly complete and accurate. The stuff at the rear of the hull and inside the turret is more important because it’s much more obvious.That interior is looking much more than adequate.
I did persevere with that, to a fair degree. I have separate boxes for several subjects (M113s, Shermans, M26–M60-series MBTs, German vehicles, ammunition (all of these 1:35 only), propeller aircraft, jet aircraft, 1:76–1:72 vehicles and more) but all the rest goes into one large “miscellaneous” box. Yes, I have too much, really … And then, with a model like this, I’m happy I didn’t throw out an insignificant little part like that round thing I used as the oil tank lidI'm sure we have all done similar. I once tried to sort out all the hundreds of left over kit parts. I gave up and they are back, jumbled up, in a big plastic box.
It actually needs a little more work The real thing has a lip around the top and tiny bolts on the round lid, which I intend to add, as they will (hopefully …) show up well after washing and drybrushing the interior.The oil tank looks excellent.
