Hi!

I decided to share with you the second kit i built.
It´s a dragons Hummel built OOB because it is really hard and not to mention very expensive to get any aftermarket parts here.

I would like to thank you all in advance for your help in pointing out and giving me pointers how to improve my skills and models.

well anyway here it is.








The base is a diorama i am bulding. You can see more pictures of it in my gallery but its a long way from finish.

Anti:

That a nice clean build u have there. The tracks look great. Might just be the picture but the fighting compartment looks too clean. Perhaps some rust, mud and scrapes. Other than that, looks good.

Keep it up

Looks like there is a nice long seam on the gun tube, you might want to fill it as well. No big problem and they are a pain for me too.

Thanks for the good words.

Well about the big seam. The kit was bulit before i found out about this place and didnt know anything about fillers and such. So now i dont know if i dare to put my hands on it because it would mean i would have to paint the whole gun again.

And how can i make realistic mud that isn thick. I would want it to look like dry mud and only in thin layers because its going to be in my diorama and there will not be much mud there.

Thanks for sharing your photos. The seam around the barrel is pretty noticable. What I try to do when assembling long panels is to use liquid model cement, applied with a fine brush. I hold the two pieces together and apply a bit of liquid cement down the seam, allowing capillary action to draw the liquid down the entire length of the seam. I hold it together and allow the excess to ooze out. I use sandpaper later to clean up the dried glue/plastic.

Also, paint the inside of your gun tube a dark metallic color.

Also, the poles on the rear of the hull, beneath the rear doors should be painted red and white. These types of poles were used in the aiming of the howitzer.

Hope these help.

jea i thought it over and decided to correct the seam on the gun barrel.

And i will get some red paint to get the poles right too.

Good Job! Just what the other guys already mentioned is the only things that I see. One suggestion though, try painting the tracks a flat black and then drybrushing them with metallics. It looks like they are a bit too shiny from the picture. As for dry crusty mud use a bit of "spakling" is what we call it in the U.S.. It's the stuff you use to fill holes in sheetrock walls. A bit of that and then slowly blend in color. It works well for me. Again, OUTSTANDING job for your second kit!

Tubli töö! Kõik, mida oleks vaja korrigeerida on juba eelnevalt mainitud.
Muda saad teha nii, et segad pastellipuru natuke white spirit´iga. Jääb parajalt õhuke kuivanud kiht.

Kui tohib küsida, siis missugust aerograafi sa kasutasid?

Hi
I did the tracks that way but i think the flash from the camera might have made them look in lighter colors in the pictures.

Tere estonian.

Tore näha veel ühte eestlast siin foorumis.

Aerograafiks on mingi järeletehtud asjandus mille nimeks on Yama seerianumbrit ega midagi sellist ei ole. See on reguleeritav. kui fotoka üles leian siis panen ka pildi galeriise üles.
