New technology for me, posting from my mobile in Witherspoons, with the in-laws after visiting the cemetery.,
Got some priming and PE done, removable turret without the 105 mm howitzer
Some small cameo pieces to add some depth to the scenario
As these are the spare parts from just one Pz IV A kit, I think I will need a bigger base for all the bits that will be scattered round!
and discovered some shortfalls in the kit and the Voyager PE set
There just aren't enough ammo storage bins in either the kit or the Voyager set, so you have to use both!
Lots of little bits of PE to add to the Grasshopper. Some of the early ones
I have glued up all the wheels, cogs, and lifting stuff, the Dragon kit has "forgotten"
Probably As they used the Aberdeen vehicle as a base, which has none of the lifting gubbins!
I should have soldered them! but "NO "
As there was no damage to be inflicted, glue will do! Big mistake!
Even dropping any one of the wheels or cogs onto the cutting mat caused it to completely dismantle!!
The glue stuck to me, the mat, and absolutely anything else but the 2 pieces of PE.
I got there in the end, but will need some proper heat sinks for next time!
They arrived too late, and don't look anywhere as cool as the ones Adam got from Jamcar
As the garage is habitable, I got some paint on the walls of the factory too
I am sure you are asking why it is red outside and sand inside
I shall try 2 different ways to doing brick,
one is to use pigment to add the cement between the red painted bricks
The other is to dry brush in shades of brick red, over a cement coloured base.
We will see which looks best
next for the factory is to get the handrail on the stairs and prime them
Next on the Grasshopper is the fenders and which will be soldered not glued!
Then paint???
But what hue of dungelgelb????
Choices choices???
Thanks for popping by
