While you're doing all the little details you can always add the lifting eye on the mantlet for the 75mm. It's shown on the box art but has been left off the model. Here's another picture of one.

Paul, speedy, quite indeed Thanks mate!

afvfan: thanks, glad you like 'm ^^

dupes, yeah, agree with you...did you post yours here?

Andy, thanks dude, and yes, the chains came with the kit

Bill: thanks for that, and paint ain't too far now

Tony: Thanks

G, thanks glad you like it!

Dan, thanks bud, I'll do my best ^^

Dave, thanks for that dude!

afvfan: yeah, I've been thinking of adding the 'pigs tail' but in the end I decided not too...not all of them were in place and I wasn't sure if I could copy the look of them.

Well, the lady is ready for paint now . I have three weeks leave so should be plenty of time to do (unless my wife decides to go in labour faster )



Cheers

Well, two excellent news mate. The first is that we see progress and will see more in the future on this nice build.

The most important, tho, is that you're going to have far less sleep time in a close future

Congrats on the up coming new comer, and this lovely build of coarse!

Cheers

Thanks mate, and that will sort out...I'm a good sleeper. And my wife stays at home untill the end of the year and she breastfeeds so when the little bugger cries at night, she'll be up. As with Amélie when she was a baby, I just slept through it most of the time

John, glad to have you here mate, and thanks! ^^

Possibly a bolt head where it's supposed to go? Even if the eye wasn't attached, the hole for it would be there.

Congrats on the impending arrival there Wouts! Nice progress on the Char, get as much done as you can while you can!

[deafpanzer]

Can't wait to see it painted next... looking sharp! Am excited for you... looks like I have found me a perfect sleeping partner. I sleep thru anything too...

[wouter]

Hey gents, many thanks, glad you like it so far!

Well, the new forum seems to be down so I though I'll post my progress here as well.

Painted the thing in Tamiya German Grey. A day later I sprayed on Lifecolor Panzergrau mixed with white.
Dan got me thinking about doing color modulation...intially I didn't plan to, but heck, why not ey
So today I sprayed on the color modulation. And used spray masks for the balkenkreuz and turretnumbers. 3 out of 4 worked out fine...1 was a mess. All my builds have at least one cock up, so this is no different. Nothing I can't handle though ^^






Hope you fellas like it a bit

Cheers

Freaking beautiful... now I can see MC work.

[tonylee-Rest In Peace]

Oh OK I see what you're doing now Wout.
