WIP first armour build

Ok its not brilliant. Im near enough at the end but not sure what else needs doing. I’ve tried to go for a dirty look rather than a rusty one.

Ive not done any sealing yet as Im not sure what to use or why.

Hi Antony,

Looking good so far, and a pretty good job for your first tank.

I’m not sure about mounting the training accessories ( Hoffman device and “hit light/beacon” at the same time as having the mine roller mounted. BTW The dome of the beacon (turret top, front near the left smoke grenade storage box) should be an amber/orange colour.

It may be the angle of the pic, but it looks like the left skirt panel is slightly high at the front. The bottom edge shouls be parallel to the ground - the right side looks ok, but the left one appears crooked, but as I said, it may just be the angle of the pics.

It’s difficult to see anything more than general details because of the quality of your pics. If you can take some better pics, it will be easier to assist you.

Antony,

Congrats on completing your first build! Agree with Phil that better photos would help evaluate it, check your camera settings and see if you have a macro feature (usually indicated by a “flower” icon) and use that. Looking at some of the photos, the background elements are sharp and clear but the foreground and model are blurry…that’s a typical indication that your camera is auto-focusing on the further objects instead of what’s closest to the lense. [;)]

thanks - I’ll take a look at the camera. I have a feeling it may have a fault as this is the second batch of pics Ive taken that Im not happy with.
