<br />
Next up is the hull and attaching the sponsons. Nice detail on all the parts and a small PE part added to the machine gun makes it stand out. Good fit of parts as well makes this and easy and enjoyable build.<br />

Another AFV Club model, this time it's a Churchill MkIV. Great kit and i 'm building this out of the box. excellent detail and a small PE fret adds to the detail. We start as usual with most armour models with the suspension. i have built a few Tamiya Churchill's before (there is one on this blog) and as they are rather old kits they go together rather quickly due to the simplicity of the parts, this kit however is state of the art. The suspension and sponson units are multiple parts and i found a bit tricky to assemble in places. Once built up they are robust and very well detailed. The springs and careful gluing enable a moving suspension and wheel arm for rough terrain. I may incorporate this into a base for the finished model. I'll look into this when base construction starts. Here is a photo build so far.<br />

I'm going to start with a model i finished for the IPMS Edinburgh December competition.<br />
Dragon's Panther G 1/35 scale. I had started this model some time ago and it was sitting half built so i decided i would now finish it and get it ready for the club meeting. As it had been started and with my enthusiasm to finish, there aren't many pictures of the build. I built it straight out the box and only added Fruil metal tracks to enhance it. Here is painting described by photographs and captions. The base is formed from a thick cardboard core from my work. I cut this at an angle and filled it in with house insulation foam sheeting. This product is great as it can be cut and sawn without too much mess unlike polystyrene. Once fitted into the cardboard, i cut and formed it to shape and added a layer of polyfiller. I undercoated the base in a grey primer from an aerosol can and then used my preferred texture paint to hide any blemishes and add texture at the same time. Paint was added to the polyfiller layer before the last of my teddy bear fur stash was glued on and painted. I finished the base with the same pigments i had used on the tank to blend it in.<br />

Very pleased with this one as i did this, start to finish in two and a half weeks. A personal best i think. Sorry i've missed a few of the last stages out but i was on a deadline to finish for IPMS Edinburgh competition (see link to the club blog for photos of all the entries)<br />
Weathered with washes and filters. pigments mixed with plaster and resin for the mud effects then once dry i added some pigments over the plaster mixture using different colours to add tones and a more realistic finish. Stowage items are form the spares box. Italeri, Tamiya, Legend and Blast models items all helped to bring the model to life. I paid particular attention to the painting of these items to enhance the model and i am delighted with the outcome and will spend more time from now on with the smaller items of a model as i now see the benefits of extra painting time. I used some ship rigging line for the ropes and tie downs. It comes white but i stained it in cold tea to give a hemp look to it.<br />

<br />
I have now sprayed on the highlights and a few lowlights. In my haste to get this finished i forgot to photograph it at this stage. However i have photographed it half way through a dark wash to see the difference it makes to the model. I used Mig dark brown wash straight from the bottle as i had let the highlights/modulated colours become very light, in fact i thought i had over done it. The dark wash was perfect and the results speak for themselves. When the wash had dried, i dampened a brush with thinners for washes and made downward strokes on the panels to simulate rain and dirt streaks.<br />
Wheels have received a coat of NATO black and then had a diluted wash of Tamiya buff added in several coats to give a dusty look to the tyre walls before adding pigments. The interior mask has also been removed. Detail painting is next and painting of the stowage items as well. More soon!<br />

Having undercoated the M20 in Halfords automotive grey primer, which in my haste, i forgot to photograph. I then proceeded to put on the first coat of olive drab. For this i used vallejo model air olive drab No.71043. I will use this as the base colour and lighten, darken the colour appropriately.<br />
There has been a lot written in books and online about Olive Drab and what constitutes the correct shade and which brand of paint is the most accurate but in my opinion it's up to the person painting. If it looks right to you then that's all that matters. I like Vallejo air as it's pre thinned and i like Tamiya as well. I use both to give a slight variation in colour.<br />
Here is a couple of shots of the base colour on. I had previously sprayed the wheels in black. Olive drab has been sprayed onto the hubs and i will now proceed with the detail painting of the wheels. fitting will take place at the final stages and then the guards will be added. This way i can give the wheels my full attention and try and get the look i'm aiming for.<br />

After finishing off the interior, it was time to close it up and mask off, ready for exterior work and undercoating. I'm looking to achieve a lived in look for this project so there will be lots of crew stowage added. First up is a home made tarpaulin. I rolled out a blob of Milliput and then covered it in a piece of foil. The foil is from the top of a butter carton. It's not got any pattern on it, thin and malleable and best of all...Free! i added a couple of masking tape straps and tied it on to the brush guards and finally pressed it to conform to the plate of the M20. I have added the aerials from stretched sprue and glued them on with liquid poly. I used to add the ariels last but gluing was a problem. this time by using the liquid poly, it has melted them on giving a strong bond, less likely to break or fall off due to the tiny spot of glue i have used in the past as i try not to ruin the paint already applied. More soon.<div>

Still working on the KVII diorama and i now have the tank undercoated, tracks complete. Painting will start soon. I have a club competition on this coming Thursday and i knew that i wouldn't get the dio finished so i've went for a quick build.<br />
Here it is so far, Tamiya's M20. Nice little kit. It's a few years old now but it is still a great model and subject. I got this by swapping with someone in my local club, good call!<br />
Simple build as with most Tamiya kits. I added some wiring to the sides of the interior walls, quick and easy job and gives a better look to the insides. Under coat from a rattle can then detail painting can begin. The floor is painted olive drab as it could be seen from the air and a white floor would make a good target. walls are painted in white with some sand added to tone down the brightness. I applied some washes to the whole of the interior and a light dry brush followed. Once everything was dry i added a mixture of pigments to dirty and dust up everything up.<br />
I would assume with an open fighting compartment it would be fairly dusty and with crew boots bring in mud it would be quite dirty.<br />
I then closed everything up and masked off to prevent any overspray later on.<br />

I have reworked the turret hatch as i wasn't too happy with the results and the rest of the tank is now built. Working on the brass stowage bins at the moment and trying to make them fit into the space on the fenders. Proving a bit tricky! I'll post some pics in the next few days. Here's a picture of the new turret hatch.<br />

I was hoping to start the painting of the Simca but it's too hot. I never thought i'd write that sentence. Anyway here's a few pictures of the turret hatch with the etch parts replacing the one piece moulded kit part. I just need to add one part onto the arm of the turret.<br />

Some progress shots of the KVII. I will be fitting the grab handles to the side of the turret next with brass wire. This will further enhance the finished look. The stowage bins are also in the process of being built. More pictures soon.<br />

A knocked out KVII and a german staff car. I have started the KV, it's the Trumpeter version. A good kit and goes together very easily. I have added a Lionroar etch set. I got this mainly for the gun barrel but as it was going cheap i've decided to use the main etchings. I will also be using Fruil metal tracks as Russian armour always benefits from sagging tracks.<br />
The staff car is the new Tamiya Simca 5, just had to buy it. It's tiny and will look ridicules next to the Behemoth that is the KVII.<br />
KV pictures to follow so in the mean time here are some pictures of the staff car. 1 hour 30 mins of model making gets you this.<br />

Last post for this one as it's finished! been a busy few days working on it and the base but it's ready for the competition. In the last update i had started the ground work and was starting the weathering on the tank. I used a lot of pigments and some very thin coats of acrylic paint to replicate the dust on the vehicle. The pigments used were a mix of earth tones and greys to give a different approach to the eventual outcome. I worked over the tank in several sittings and made light coats and then repeated myself until the desired effect was obtained. I sprayed very thin coats of light coloured paint over the pigment and then applied more pigments of a lighter colour to give a sense of dust layers. Metallic pigment was used for the track contact points, this works very well. easy to use and very effective.<br />
Base work.<br />
Small stones from the garden were placed at the bottom of the slope and a mixture of white glue and water was dripped over and allowed to dry. I followed this up with some washes to give some depth.<br />
A mixture of 5 static grasses were added to give different colours to the grass areas and a few dried out pieces of moss were added to break up the scene. Once the tank was in place, i worked more pigment onto the ground work and sealed it with fixer. Last parts were to add the aerials, these are very thin wire painted black.<br />

I made up a structure from plastic card, then filled it in with polystyrene. I then mixed up some plaster, sand and poster paint to colour it. Slap it on and push it around with spatula and a 1/2 inch paint brush. Looks ok. I do like adding small bases to my vehicles as it adds another dimension to my models. They certainly look better with some ground work.<br />
