Hi all,
It's been a while since I posted something here , this has more to do with my poor knowledge of the English language :?
Currently I'm working on a T-70 from MiniArt , updated with some Aber sets and barrel.
The kit is not so bad but not the quality we expect these days !
Here are some pictures of my work so far , It's almost ready to paint.
My basecolour is Humbrol 102.
in between, I also started the wheatering :wink:
So just done with the drybrushen of the turret.
But it's not good for me to shoot a decent picture of it with my pocket camera
here a picture for the size of a T-70 tower.
T-70 vs king Tiger !!!
Cheers
André

Looks very neat Andre, in fact it´s great. Just one guestion, what colours did you used for dry brushing? Humbrols?

Love the build Andre. Great work with both the etch and insulating material on the exhausts ... very clean and neat. If the painting and weathering on the turret is anything to go by, this should a be a stunning model when finished.

slow and steady wins the race. Still cant wait to see it done.
Only suggestion i have is to clean some of the paint that clogged itself into the engine grills. But you probably already plan to fix that.

I like it! The weathering is subtle but very convincing. Good Show!

Hi Andre!
You are doing great job with that little model. Personally, I like very much the weathering you have done. Not too much but not too little either.

Hi all,
The pin-wash of the hull is almost don, so that we can start with chipping.
