Wonderful zim work!

Did you use putty?

[PainlessWolf]

Good Morning,
This was the first time that I had tried adding Zimmerit to a Tank. I ended up using the excellent ATAK set. I was really happy with the way it turned out. I only needed to add putty at a couple of corners where the pieces did not align correctly.

Wonderful zim work!

Doesn't it look fantastic? So tidy and crisp. A real zinger!

That is the way I build them, "tidy and crisp". Thanks for looking in. ;0)

Hello,
I just saw this "MAGNIFICENT" tank and I'm speechless. No superlatives exist to describe this amazing work, and on top of that, the workshop (?) is as spotless as an operating room I'm going back to knitting.

[PainlessWolf]

Good Evening, Jofaur86!
My Workshop is on Off Days, the Kitchen Counter. ;o) I have to take care of the environs so Dinner can be cooked. ;0) I do have a Hobby Room but it is full of Tanks on Displays. I have plans to add another Standing Shelf so that might give me room to model sitting down at a Desk. We will see. Thank you for looking in. I've seen your work. Please stay with the Tanks. The Hobby needs you, eh!
regards,
Painless

You're getting the hang of this tank building caper youngster !
I have a nook assigned for my spot to build, and as Im the King Of The Kitchen(do all the cooking) its off limits to everything not related to the production of sustenance
I'd really love to see you try a proper roughie !..........let it all hang out & get your 'munted' on
Just cause I reckon it would be bloody epic.

You never know! There was a Pink T34/85 once upon a time in Prague. Lots of flowers as I recall. Hobby Lobby always seems to have sales on their Pink Enamel Rattlecans so we'll see maybe soon. Thanks again for checking out the end result on the Early Production King Tiger.

We all have one of those pink skeletons in our tank-closet , me included with the Barbie Pantiger.
Ole Alpha used to spring the odd weird ones on us without warning & the shock was palpable back in the day!
Now ??....... meh, Its like Howard Stern never existed !

I have tried over the years to stay on a neat & tidy course for a build, as all tanks began their combat lives as such. I just dont have the tidy mind it seems.
Perhaps decades of bouncing from one crisis to another has molded me into a messy mind - clean results , I shall never know.
My Misso reckons "you've got ABCD you have"
I like your examples as they are well narrated, well photographed and extraordinarily executed with no fuss it seems.
Im sure its chaos in reality, but it sure dont show mate .

"I'm speechless. [...] I'm going back to knitting." I know this feeling well; indeed, it happens every time I log on to RCTW. But no matter how inadequate my many half-finished efforts, I just cry a bit, sniffle, wash my face, and plug away as if I were an automaton.
