New Friend to the site Rob K poor sod lives about 4 miles across the water from me.
There is a bridge so its about 15 mins.
I invited Rob round being like minded chaps for some model time after Andy A pointed Rob my way.
Rob has just started out but is a fast learner so we have gone for a joint effort.
In this case a Panzer IV late war Hard edge.........nothing like starting at the deep end.
Robs round later so we will post some pictures of our progress that's if he does not stand me up.
I have put on a special little black number gents! what are you thinking......I have a panzer commander on the go and you thought?

Well rob tipped up this morning for a few hour s in the man cave we had a direction for the IV but soon went another way bring on the cam change were going spotty. .  DSC08282 by macmcconnell, on Flickr. We think it looks better like this we have also been doing some chipping using the brush and sponge method on a Sherman pics of that will follow later.

Heres the dust effects we still have to do metallization and sort that track joint ,we also did some blue filters on the rubber. .  DSC08284 by macmcconnell, on Flickr. .We do have some trimming to do as well as detail work Robs homework is to build spare track link for the front. .  DSC08281 by macmcconnell, on Flickr. .Well we will finish with a pic of the rear Rob says its my best work not sure which rear hes talking about. .  DSC08285 by macmcconnell, on Flickr. Well that's all folks I will post Sherman pics later we may be heading for a dio......mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm |
