Well here it is. After 3 long weeks of work on it the big beast is finally done [:D]. This is one kit that is definatly a must get [^]. The whole thing just goes right together like a dream. Only thing that gave any problem was the exhaust cover. It is definatly an eye catcher sitting next to the other stuff on the shelf. It is OOB with the exception of adding tie downs on the roof, and oil tubes for the chains on the rear drive. Still a few little things to do to it but other things are crying for some glue. Now on to the pics. [:D]
So much detail in the kit it needed a few more pics than normal. Now on to smaller things that should feel easier to build after this one.
Micheal- I don’t think I havethe room for a 1/16. Anyone even know how big that would be for one of these? I’m thinking along the lines of a small Ford!
Chris,
great work!
i like the detail w/ the cut and flat tire hanging in the spare spot after the change.
my only critiques are from the pic of the front end.
there is a discolored spot under the left headlight (the right side as it faces me in the pic)
that looks like it might be cement.
if it is, just a bit more mud around there will hide it nicely.
(believe me, the mud on my Panther and T-34 serves a purpose much like this!)
in the same picture, the I - beam looking pieces between the headlights
look a bit shiny. but that may be the wear you modeled into the edges & the lighting.
i have been fiddling constantly w/ my camera set up, lights, etc
because it was making my Panther look like it was washed in Future! [}:)]
that’s all the nits i have to pick.
a terrific job on a very big project! [tup]
3 weeks !?!?! you did this since you finished the Panther?
or did you sneak a few more in there? [:D]
Excellent Chris! The mud looks great (but the Captain says that driver better clean his vehicle or else!)… The photo with the Stuart is very cool indeed! Keep up the nice clean builds and muddy weathering!
It looks great Chris! You’re definitelty improving witih every build and in leaps and bounds! The blown spare is a great touch, weathering looks great, over all great job bro!
