Hi guy`s
Progress from the weekend, some areas need a little tweak here and there, but still a long way to go yet.

Hi Andy,

Every time you show this it looks better and better! A real labour of love obviously? How do you manage to add just the right amount of various mediums here and there without totally overdoing it as many others of us would!? How did you achieve that torn remnant of gun mantlet cover? It's a really cool touch!?

Cheers

Glen

Looking good. You ought to post up an album, you know where.

Keep it up, Andy. Dave

add expletives here!

Really great job. You are my hero!! Keep it up.

Bob

Wow Andy! Thats just superb, this really has got to be one of the most realistic abandoned tanks ive ever seen, if it werent for the model desk in the background on the second pic that could easily be a real tank. Hope you bring this to euro-i wana see it in the flesh

Rob

I just read your article too- very well done Andy- the pics in the mag were awesome.

Very well done- the rusty areas are very convincing-


JD

I like that front dented fender. You are one hell of a painter.

Wow!!!!

Great model! Keep us updated!

All the best,

beautifull piece of work! how did you do the rust, with the sponge method?

regards,
frans.

Your kind words keep me hoping i am going in the right direction with this.
Glen i made the torn mantlet with using some very thin silk material cut roughly to shape, superglued on and then a couple of coats of Mr Surfacer for texture.
Gary, how do i get a gallery up on your site?
Frank, i did utilize that method, also used a very small brush, cotton buds and toothpicks.
Rob, yes hopefully i will have it with me for Euro. Catch up with you there.

Thanks again for all the responses
All the best
Andy

Hi Andy,

I've been watching this since the beginning and all I can say is that this is one fantastic model.
I like the way you don't rush into finishing it up..your patience and attention to detail is amazing!
it's just keeps on getting better all the time

Best,
NickCortese

Great to hear from you, hope my patience doesnt wear too thin just Yet. Think i am just about on the home stretch.

All the best
Andy
