Here is my new Chally II, I used Picture Wire for the Cable and This Metal Antenna Stuff from Japan. Tell me all what you think (the MG is not done). I also tried a subtle wash (but I still suck at it) and gave it a dusty look with Tamiya Buff.









Comments always welcome.

Overall I think you did a good job. One thing I would consider doing if I was you is painting the ends of your smoke grenades that are mounted on the turret.

Looks great. Which kit is it? Tamiya or Trumpeter? It just needs more stowage (helmets, bergans, bedrolls, cam nets etc). Most Challys had cam nets stowed around the front of the tank. great work though

Thanks for the comments so far, I seen that to I will paint the grenade covers, Also where I a good place to get British Infantry stuff for the Rucks and such, one more thing... What whould their camo net be like. Solid or the other kind ( Guaze or tissue paper)??

very nice,

the overall effect is excellent,

just a few things;

the inside of the hatches should be green,
headlights need to be painted.
the non slip surfaces on the top weather quickly-maybe add some paint chips?

accurate armour is the best place for stowage, but bear in mind tankies dont often carry large bags like bergans on the outside of tanks, maybe daysacks or webbing would be better, and these could be easily scratchbuilt from putty and lead foil.

the cam nets are of a new design, and in this scale would look quite smooth. i would try rolling putty into sausages, then press gauze into it.

hope this helps

What color Green? And they would have white padding right???? Thanks Guys so far.

Id paint the restraining straps a drak green like humbrol 150 or similar I belive these are just regular straps used for securing loads on wagons ect

Jeremy, other than what has already been mentioned, you might want to repaint the end of the muzzle. THe black seems to be too far back along the gun tube. It shouldnt go that far back. Just the front of the muzzle and a small portion f the MRS would be discolored. Other than that, looks like a good build. "Q"

It looks awesome. I'd add a little more weathering on the turret as - at least from the pictures - the upper turret seems much less weathered than the rest of the turret. But the overall subtle weathering is great. I'd implement the other suggestions and you will have a prize winner.
