Hi Sal !

Let's see how that one turns, for sure not a Tristar or Dragon's but it sure looks like a Pz IV, hoping for an easy and quick build.

This is how this kit was stored for the last 9 years... unloved, unstarted.






A weekend's work. (I decided to hell with the instructions; whatever I could figure out I'll use, the rest goes to the spares box.)

Nice progress, Iain. Coming together very nicely.

Andras, great to see what can be done with an old kit. Looks great so far.

Looking forward to see more

Nice progress guys.

John time is running out, best be quick

My MP4/4 is done and a pic is in gallery.

Here are the final pictures.
































Great campaign. Look forward to seeing the rest finished.

Pete

That is outstanding Pete.
Almost makes me want to do something other than my usual military stuff.

Beautiful build in all aspects, Peter.

Looks great, Pete!

Thanks for the comments guys.

Pete

One step closer to completion with the black/green colour and a clear gloss coat.





"Mickey mouse" camouflage is a little rough due to uncontrollable airbrush spatter, but I managed to fix most of it up. Probably shot the clear gloss coat a bit soon as some of the paint has some slight bubbling. Hopefully weathering and a final flat coat will obscure most of the issues.

Next step, decals.

Nice work Iain.

Pete

Awesome result, Pete. Looks nice and striking in all its colors.

Lain, nice job on the camo. The Mickey ears might be a bit soft in some of the edges, but will look great when weathered.

Peter, fantastic work on your Mclaren MP4, as a senna fan, it's great to see something different being built as well.

Made some more progress on my corsair, doesn't look like much, but it's a huge win!

Nearly there, still needs a flat coat and weathering but decals are all done.
The convoy marking on the front bumper is done with white chinagraph pencil, as the decal was a little too stark and regular for chalk markings.



Body is just sitting on the chassis for now while I effect some repairs.

Calling this one complete. No weathering until I determine setting and its prime-mover.






Mike

Looks good Iain nice work.

Nice work also Mike, you planning on a dio for it?

Pete

Except for the tracks, it took me a looooooooooooooooooong time to get everything.
Still waiting on RB models gun

Good clean build of cute lil' gun, Mike.

excellent work and progress everybody ... especially the formula one, really love it ...

my 'late' progress ...


because this is an old type Bradley ... 4 options for the painting: OD, desert, MERDC camo, and NATO camo ...


ouch ... I'm out of paint ... next, I need to purchase some paint ...

Tom, I am building the same kit. What camo are you going for? I think I am going for the four color camo. Trying to do it freehand, but might not succeed.

Some progress on my build. There are still some colors that needs to be added and a lot of touch ups.

More to follow

Hi everyone. I have not posted an update recently but I have made some progress! Really liking the builds you guys are putting together. As a noob modeler it is great so see such a variety of kits! I still have a considerable amount to do but am getting there. Please comment/ critique/ offer ideas as I will improve more slowly without your input! Hoping everyone the best.

Nice work Jesper, what do you use to to tone down the camo?

Bryan for a newbie that is an outstanding build.


Pete

Having some airbrush issues so can't finish the paint yet.
Instead I am working on a few details. Kit comes with a winch but no cable, so I am using some steel cable fishing leader as a tow cable. The 54kg stuff is perfect thickness but not flexible enough to wrap around the winch drum, so have gone with the next size down.
To go with the cable I am also making a cable thimble to wrap it around and be more realistic.

Made from the thinnest brass tube I have, I annealed, slid some cable through to help prevent crushing and bent it. Finally I filled away the outside edge and it's ready for trimming and terminating my vehicle cable.


For reference, excluding the unfiled portion of tube still attached, the thimble is about 3-4mm long.

Cable us glued to the thimble, now just need to make it look spliced and wrapped.
