I have just finished my M26 Pershing. I do not know how to get the images on this site, but i have posted them on another site

PLease let me know what you think of it.

Posting pics is simple. Below, in the add/reply to a post box, there is a tab that says [i m g ]. Click it and it gives you the following code [im g ] http://put.url.here/image.file [/i m g] (without spaces). Simply copy the url to your pic and place it between the [ im g ] ... [ / i m g ] code, like it says to do. Thats it and your pics show.

To host them here, go to the Photos tab above, and then to my gallery. Upload and follow the above directions.

Here it is:






It looks pretty good to me. I like it. Might want to tighten up the tracks though, they look a little loose. Good job on it.

GIno- Thanks for posting them. And thank you for your kind words, it definatly means something to me. Also, i do agree that the tracks are a bit loose, unfortunatly it would require too much surgery and i dont want to ruin what is already pretty good.

Reall like your M26 Jon!!! Now where is your TL entry?
The dusting job is very realistic. Though I would have to agree on the tracks.
A nice clean build!! Great Job!!

thxs,
John

hi jon

your pershing looks really good.
ive just bought this kit with the accurate armour super pershing up date and would like to know what paint you used...
also your pictures are great but is there any chance of any close ups.....
neil.

I used Tamiya Acrylics, which made me cringe several times. I first did a pre-shade of flat black, then Olive Drab, and then i hit the centers of the panels with OD mixed with Buff. After all of that i misted on OD to blend it all together. For the textured mud (which isnt really visible in the pics) i mixed Squadron Green Putty with MM Metalizer thinner and stippled it on. Weathering was acheived by spraying the bottom of the tank with Tamiya Flat Earth. The rest was done with the Tamiya weathering masters set A, applied with a stiff brush.

The more i use Tamiya Paint, the less i like them. I tried to get some close ups, but that would only show my mistakes, and, more importantly, my camera is only a pocket sized digital and candle it.

Thanks for all the praise, it really means alot.

Great kit, you did a good job

nice, you did well on your build..and clear images too. you're pretty good with cameras. thanks for sharing.
