Here another update.
It's been a slow month on the bench.
I hope I'll get the pace back soon..it's the Dragon kit 6416, more than 2 yrs away in the box, I hope to get it finished soon




Next step: decals on the turret, weathering wheels & lower hull, weathering the turret too...
With a steady pace at the bench, I hope 2 weeks will be enough to call it done.

Alan- thanks for the feedback..the Merk was a fun kit, I wouldn't advise the ball-chain though!
Great work on the wot-3, the scene looks excellent, the figure has a typical waiting around look.. nice job!
John- looks like your first time was a success! The AK streaks look like photo's, and the chipping is spot on!
How was the kit to build ?, I want to build something from WWW2 ..this looks like an interesting kit!

Thanks Jeff !!!
It's a nice kit, great detailing, PE, and it wasn't as expensive as the other Dragon's Tiger.
Here are a couple of reviews & a build log.

Thanks again for the kind words !

Hi everyone,i have to say there have been some great kits finished during this campaign. Congrats to all who got 'er done. unfortunately it looks like i won't getter done. reno's in my house have kept me away from my work space and weekend Army tasks have also kept me busy. at least i got some progress done and she's at paint stage, maybe i'll be able to finish it in the Getter done 4 campaign (hint hint).

Hi all,
Calling this one done. Bit of a problem with the front wheel being placed on the rear resulting in a bit of damage caused when changing it back over.

Cheers.

sorry guys - I have not posted since page 11 - just tried to catch up with all the stuff thats getting done. I will try and support a bit mote - just got tied up with stuff.
I actually painted the interior masked it up - and im onto the painting the exterior.
not so exciting but

tracks were biggest PITA - and they dont fit so well around the drive sprocket. they are supposed to be working - but i find these things way to delicate so i just cement them as much as possible.
best
Mark

I found my way back to this thread.

Of all the going projects on my work bench, I pulled this one out again, the Dutch BARV...

I'm trying now to lay down tulle fabric as the extruded metal walkway. It's tricky to handle, stretching and warping however I hold it, but I'll post photos again as it progresses.
Cheers!

Oh, and Mark, yes, that lifted paint is painful to see. I hope those repairs work out well for you!

I have pretty much all assemblies done.
I preshaded it, then a basecoat with some modulation on the edges. Some of the preshading was too dark. But, this build is to work on and learn about techniques.
