The Official Armortek Forum - World leader in one sixth scale metal kits

Nice to know you all enjoy the build photos, trial fitted Mike Stannard's MG34 Mount. What a lovely after market part this is, the level of detail is un-rivaled.

I will concentrate on the motion pack now for a while.

Many thanks for your posts

Simon Manning

As I join the rest of the brethren on this forum some time ago, you have my admiration to your skills Simon. SUPERB TO SAY THE LEAST.

Robin

side tracked again on the paint, the superb Steve Winstone rear hatch, gave it a bit of treatment.

Wow Simon, that looks superb!

I wish someone like you would do a tutorial on painting/ weathering at 1/6 scale.

I think a number of us have some experience at painting/ weathering at smaller (1/35 scale) and there are quite a lot of excellent online tutorials covering the subject, but not sure how it should be translated to work at this much larger scale.

Best regards

David

thanks david,i think its easier to paint at this scale,you can use plenty of options,and retouch detail easier, an airbrush is a must have item, many thanks simon manning.

Tracks on at last, motion pack fitted. Everything seems ok, some adjustments required on front mud guards and side skirts for clearance of the tracks. Not far off a good test run.

Cheers Simon Manning

Awesome all the way around Simon!

I can see it on a grey December morning, 1944 creeping towards La Gleize.

Outstanding in every corner of it Simon!
Very well done.

Not only are you a wizard in detailing but also in painting.
It looks awesome.

is there such a thing as nearly finnished, sound to fit ,a bit more paint detail to add,and general tweaking, and tension the tracks up,and then put it somewhere to collect some dust, very enjoyable,thanks for looking simon manning.
