Well on the final stage with my build now added some dust using Mig pigments and chalk pastels

Looks nice, Keith. The tracks looks suspiciously clean, but I assume that is the next step of the process.

I see here a really great tanks gentlemen, just so forth.

Gents,

Here is my progress, my MKIII is ready for paint.
I have removes tools from the engine deck (I don't think Dieppe Churchills had them stowed there), thinned the armour plates on the inner sides of tracks at the front, relocated fire extinguishers (from engine deck to turret sides), added turret stowage box mounting points, deleted flags? stowage tube from the side of the turret, drilled out the MGs muzzles, added waterproofing canvas below the vents on the rear and replaced exhausts 'straps' with aluminum foil.

Ready for paint:







And components brakedown before painting:


Cheers,
Greg

am at the Paint and decal stage

Pricklehead that's a good looking Churchill tank,

I chose to do a winter finish on mine should be done by next week.

sascha(Ironowl)

Thanks Sascha,,,looking forward to seeing your winterised Churchill.

Here she is finished
I may try a few more things with her at a later date but I am happy overall its the first time I have done the winter style pattern.

sorry about the pics my camera is not doing any pics justice as of late

Here is my old venerable Matchbox Churchill bridgelayer. Construction is finsihed. It was a b***ch and the overall fit was poor. Unusual for matchbox kits actually.

I used copper wire for the rigging of the bridge. That was a mistake by me. I should have used fishing wire instead. Now I know for the next project.

Next is painting, decals and weathering. More to follow.

hello all just a friendly reminder to post a finished build pic in the Gallery..

Jesper that is a good looking Bridge layer I like the rigging as well.

Sascha(Ironowl)

I have been able to find the gallery, but I still do not know how to upload my images to it
If anyone could help me I would be very appreciative

Thanks for the comment, Sascha. I am semi satisfied with the rigging, so I am considering to replace it after the campaign. There will not be time before.

This one is coming down to the wire for me.

Here is the Churchill - nearly finished. Just some final weathering and it is done.

More to follow soon.

Here is my Churchill Crocodile entry for the campaign.
These photos are also in the Campaign Gallery









There are a lot of Jolly Good Models here in the campaign mate!

Beautiful build, Tom. Very clean and nice build.

Here is my finished Matchbox 1/72 Churchill bridgelayer. A nice kit, but the fit is not that good especially around the track guards.

I did not do the kit any services by using copper wire instead of fishing line for rigging the bridge. I never managed to get the copper line to have tension and stay 100% straight.

Comments welcome

Last few pieces to go and a trip to the paint booth.

Hello all the builds are looking great if Anyone could Help Alan out with Downloading pics to the gallery that would be great I tend to over complicate instructions

we are getting down to the wire glad to see the vast array of churchills completed .

Sascha(Ironowl)

I have finally managed to upload to the gallery, amazing builds everyone, it was great fun!

Well, by the hairs on my chubby chin chin, and some repair work to fix an unfortunate dropping incident by my wife, my Churchill made it in the gallery. Great builds all around. Thanks Iron Owl for putting this on and keeping us motivated.
