Waffentrager - Done!

[modelfreak72]

Coming along smartly! I like the repair shop, more stuff to play with!

Nice work on the wheels... they look pretty realistic!

Thanks Guys!

I've just added the decals and a clear coat (it same out too shiny, but the ww and eventual finishing flat coat will fix that. Pics:






As you can see, I finished the gun cover. The borders of the decals are also slightly visible - the WW should fix that though.
Next, I'll add a light misting of white to tone things down for the WW (EX the decals ) , then HS and the WW itself.

I've also made a start on the dio - just added some wall plaster. I'll take some pics tomorrow after its dried and I've sanded it.


On a side note, has anyone been having trouble getting on to Armorama? it times out when i try (for a good day or so now), and i've tried on 2 PCs and different internet connections (wifi at school as well as home internet). Hmm.


Thanks for looking!

Nice progress there Oli! As for Armorama being accessible, it's been down all day today for some reason. You're not alone.

Alright, after a bit of a break from posting about this, I think it's done. The idea with it is that it has been in the midst of heavy city fighting, hence all the dust and rubble (wood, wire, etc).

Pics:









As of now, I think all I have left to do is a clear coat, but I'm open to suggestions! I will also be using the description of the tank from the box that the kit came in as a plaque (will cut it off carefully).

As always, thanks for looking.

Looking great! Can't get enough of its long gun! I only have one feedback... is the wiring supposed to be rope or steel cable? I would wrap it around one more... it would not be hanging like this up in the air at far left as the gravity would be pulling it down. That's my only thought... it really look good.

[noll]

Thanks Andy! Changing the cable makes sense - ill do as soon as I get home.

I may make a proper base for this sometime, but I want to have it done for a hobby club neeting this thurs. when I get around to it, I'll probably make a mini scene in the midst of rubble, etc.

[wbill76]

Nice progress on this one Oliver! Ought to look good on the base when you get around to it.

[Leon]

Awesome finish Oliver.One to be proud of fella.

[bbd468]

Fine build Ollie! Your paint and chipping job is excellent....not to mention just plain COOL! Well done.

Thanks Guys! Glad you like it . I'm petty happy how it turned out overall, despite a few minor mishaps (the gun broke in half after all the dust was done, but some superglue and another layer of dust there fixed it ).

Anyways, some "finished" pics:




I ended up cutting the desc of the waffy from the box and superglueing it on. The 2nd pic shows how much better it looks after a flat coat compared to a original sample of the box.




Again, thanks for the responses and compliments! I think I'll give this a go in the MoM .

Nice Job on this Oliver!! Love that huge barrel!!! Great camo work!!!

[deafpanzer]

Much better now as the ropes looks naturally hanging now. Nice touch with the name tag on the base!

[wbill76]

Congrats on completing this one Oliver! What's next for your bench?

[noll]

Thanks again guys . @ Space, glad you like it _ I just try different things and then mess around until it looks OK.

As for what I'm doing next, My immediate goal is a Tamiya Challenger II Which i need to have done for my little brother's Birthday (may 19). He bought he kit, and he's wanted me to make it for him for a while. I will be doing it in secret though .

After that, I think I'll repaint the Waffentrager (again) and then try to finish it and the dio. I also have a M10 Wolverine and of course the M26 dragon wagon to do also.

Oh, and before I forget, I'll also be picking up a Maus soon. last month at the hobby club that I go to, Someone offered to sell me a barely-started one for 20$ CAD. Then next meeting is tomorrow, so i"ll get it then.
