Hello,

thanks for looking and the comments,

meanwhile I arrived at the priming, time to think about the crew.

In the case of Sockelshop http://www.dersockelshop.de/catalog/adv ... 29d9c68456 I ordered a figure from Maim in 3-D for testing purposes.

Unfortunately, despite all the caution when removing from the support corset three fingers and half the binoculars broken off, but everything is to mend.

take a look at the product .......

the commander unfortunately does not fit in the early tiger hatch, let's see if I even use it here. First, I'll test how well the material is to be rebuilt.

Greeting Guido :wave:

The detail is there. But how about the texture? This is a printed figure.

Hello,

@Soeren:this figure is garbage, I disposed of it, I was expecting more quality.
I got a few other figures, I'll show you pictures of them later.


Now the desire for model building has returned. :clap:

I primed the model with primer from vallejo, which is very good and very fine.
I've tried AK colors, so far I've always worked with Tamiya colors, these colors surprised me positively.

The model has received details, I will add some parts after painting, with the right technology you can do that.

Now I am very sure that I will really finish the project..........after so much years :{

The lower hull is now complete with the basic color, tomorrow the turret is at the start.

I will of course show you a few photos of the progress.
