All of my tanks get the wash down now, so dirty looking after that happens!

so here is a quick dump on you with updates pics of the grey^^

will join in your discussion tonight^^


















cheers, vik

Looking good Vik! All those lovely rivets deserve to be washed around each one! It's a lot of work, but will add so much depth!

Sorry I haven't been posting recently, but I got new broadband that's faster... when it works
It can go on for about 2 minutes, then it dies again for another 10 or so.

Coming along nicely vik.

I'm thinking the sponson guns could do with a support band around the barrels, didn't think of it before, but now I've seen them with a lick of paint attached...

ok since dantay has anounced to support my efforts with some of his washes i will do so as you suggest dstein...

at shrike... the more things change the more things stay the same...lol... well i cross fingers for ye to be a regular from when your bandwidth is finally functioning^^... and we hope to see some updates in pictures then^^

at monkey... i knew something had slipped me when going priming the tank... this was on the list...do you recon i can fix it with paint still on?

Shouldn't be a problem - a strip of very thin card, a coat of pva and paint, jobs a good 'un

will try that tomorrow...i think there is in my profession little that pva couldn´t fix^^

Oh so aged looking a tank with the washes there Vik.

thank you kindly sir!^^

These look like they have been ready for a fight or used in battle, not just fresh off the assembly line tanks, so you have accomplished much! Damn fine tank!

*blushes*^^

and i am off for now... tomorrow is another day^^

cheers, vik

And he's gone again till later! Now who will chat about my tanks with me?

me^^, once you are back^^

so i have uploaded the covered sponsons guns...i used blow out paper streamer as a material to cover the barrels like a vickers would have looked...this cased look that i have at least in my mind^^

also a good deal of PVA as a cover mender/sealer so that every thing looks like it was made from steel...







i will now begin to paint these to match the rest...

vik

Now that looks like a water cooled MG vik! nice touch that will be covered by paint to hide what it is made of.

Between the stack and the round flat turret, it really looks like a land ship btw, they used to make warships with such style of gun turrets.

Nice work vik

I was thinking of a single reinforcement band, but the covered look works really well for those - as shaso stated it has a nice watercooled vickers look.

See? not just me! good work!

thats waht i wanted in the first place... the next tank gets vickers in that fashion for sure!!!

paint will hit the tank tomorrow... was a bit obsessed by a certain other project....there is a painting and modeling contest and for this i added an entry of my own...a steamknight....yup... i put yet again something new on my plate and i wanted to do some unique stormtroopers anyway^^ so this competition was a nice excuse^^










what do you think???

vik

Nice concept! And another distraction for our dear boy Vik!

you can follow the built on this thread by the way^^

yep my attention span has yet again produced some diversion^^

Hhhmmm, I may have to put Magnotz in there

a new mini? thought your magnotz was done quite some time ago?

I have the wip picks to show his retro fit, first time I ever entered a contest at all.

me too.... guess i wont win, but well after all i can make mre minis and keep them for my uses^^ so it is a win either way^^

Oh come on, that piece is looking good! you just have to getthat brass and copper and steel work look maybe with some rusting for the steel, and the verdigris for the copper

yep that sounds quite like a good idea... i have some parts to even make a second one...some major parts like the somekstack and the legs and the frontorso...and lots of SM shoulderpads^^ this model has five already^^ i might even make one with an opened helmet...i picture them like the old deep divers from stories like 20.00 miles beneath the sea... did you see the smallish "V"?

Thanks for the promotion Viktor, glad its coming together well!

Cool steam armour! Liking the new tank as well, the treads are particularly ace.

well i was a bit in doubt if i was allowed to do that unlucky...

well it has sure been quite a long time since your last visit perkustin^^ glad you like my work^^ the treads were an ache as well^^ as they took quite some time... but all is well that ends well^^

I saw the GS "V" there, I wonder, maybe have a pic section for the WIPS of Father Orlov and have him face off against Magnotz?

Just remember you also have to paint the tank a bit more buddy!
