A fine tank,great build.
The 3D printed gun,does it bend like the plastic ones you get with the tanks.?

Hey,

I'm happy to be corrected but I don't think plastic barrels generally flex, however if there is slop in the elevation and it can move up and down and create an optical illusion like when you wobble a pencil.

Mines plastic with a brass rod down the centre. The elevation uses cogs so less slop than usual and to my eye doesn't bend

[tomhugill]

Sorry mean the machine gun

Oh! That's resin, no bending

Hey folks,

I’ve finally finished the construction part of the build and am starting paint.

I scratch built the tow cable holders I had missed and added welds where needed

For colour I am using xtracrylix deep bronze green , modulated with Tamiya duklgelb. Filter is a mix of burnt umber and lamp black.

LOL! How many tie downs did it end up being Tom? They look great on there! boy I am tempted to build a Canadian one...

Did all the tie down types come from Dean, Tom? I particularly liked the brass clamp ones with butterfly nuts. The Comet needs several of those for the tools on the side of the engine deck.
Overall, some masterly detailing there; but then, that's what we've come to expect Alwyn has certainly graduated from plasticard master, to printing maestro, in the meantime.

Tom that is one fabulous tank The paint finish and detailing is awesome and I've run out of adjectives I suspect a looming TOTM entry is in the offing.

All in all a masterful modelling exercise, very well done.

Now we’re sucking diesel! Got the decals on last night, thanks to panzerjaeger66 for supplying! Had a little issue with the micro sol reacting with the future but it’s easily fixed. I always think things start to come together when the decals go on, especially on single colour camo schemes.

Next up pin washes.
