Hi, Tony...thanks, again....

I'm a fan of the old saying:
"A picture is worth a thousand words"

BIG HUG !!!!!!!

Hi Marcos
Very nice build, certainly be getting one of the CIRD when TWS release
them. just one thing, is'nt your churchill missing the stepped armour
plate on the drivers face plate
Barry

Uops !!!

INDEED !!!!



Man, you save my day !!!

I forgot this armour...Incredible....Thanks for alerting me ... this shield was forgotten in the box ...

Thanks for your hawk-eye !!!!


About TWS kit, I recommend without reservation ... Superb conversion kit...

The only concern is with the alignment of rollers with the tracks. The biggest trick is to increase the inner diameter of the holes of the supports of these parts, to allow a perfect fit in longitudinal and transverse directions:


Thanks, again, Grievous !!!!

brilliant work so far, looking to see more
nice to see that i wasn't the only one to forget the frontal armor part

Matan...

This is a great shame ...



I'll stay a week without looking me in the mirror ....

hehehehehehhehehehe

My father had a saying:

Leaves the blood, enter the experience

And this made me bleed

All the best, Matan...
Thanks for the solidarity ...



You Churchill is a beauty, too

Well, lads ...

After this latest revelation, I found the missing piece...
She was quietly forgotten in the parts tree, in the AFV box ...

Here's the runner:
More protection for the Besa gunner...


Now, with paint...


Since I was using paint, I'll continue painting ...





Well... there this...

My redemption !!!

Gents, help !!!!!!

The decal time is approaching and I have a
problem...

My intention was to make this the AVRE CIRD with the
markings of the 79th Armoured Division. But in this book (AFV Profile, number 20) in page 18, I found this:

"Though issue, however, the (Churchill) CIRD does not appear to have been used in action by 79th Armoured Division."

Oh, crap...I hate not to put marks in my tanks ....

Someone would have a reasonable suggestion??

Thanks in advance.....

Well ..

As long as nobody gives a hint of marks and symbols around here, I'm applying the "generic" decals and will start weathering ...

First of all, the gloss layer: I do that yesterday, at night ....


While the varnish dries, I paint the exhaust:


...and in the rear deck:


Decals:

The pads of turret hatch...

New advances;

After washes and filters, flat varnish:


Turret in close:


...and:



Tomorrow, pigments and chipping...

Stay tunned...

Another steps:
Chipping, tools and ...








Uff...

Truly superb work

For those who'd like to follow Marcos' example, the new conversion set can be seen:

I recommend !!!!

The conversion kit is easy to build and superb...

The CIRD is coming along nicely! I like it! Looking forward to the next installment.

Cheers!
Stefan

After that, pigments, dirt and mud !!!



..and start the tank comander:


Tomorrow, new steps....

Panzerserra
