Love the Sherman and Panzer really cool, very well done. Love it!Rad_Schuhart wrote: ↑Sat Jun 29, 2024 7:31 pm Yes, I mean the spare tracks. Give some dry brushing with another colour, like grey, or dark metal, or even rust. It will look much better and will take you seconds.
Thanks for the kind words about the tank. It looks OK, but not entirely happy with its reialiability, so I dont use it too much.. I installed the Henntec tensioner years ago, and I cannot remember if I had to drill something. If I am not mistaken I vaguely remember enlarging some holes I already had.
From all the toys that you can see in my website, the one I use the most is the Sherman: https://radindustries.wordpress.com/201 ... erman-105/ followed by the Panzer IV: https://radindustries.wordpress.com/202 ... r-iv-zorn/

Buy a Challenger, just the basic all plastic one, as you will be throwing most of it away. It will keep you occupied for ages, and you skill set will escalate exponentially. You will end up with almost a hand built tank, and you will wonder why you struggled with a Tamiya kit. There is not enough modern stuff being built.Michael151722 wrote: ↑Sun Jun 30, 2024 1:35 am Next tank need to save and go to Japan and see what they have preferably Challenger or Abrams. Or might go for a RC Tractor lol
I heard it is the newest tank of Tamiya lineup if I am correct?Meter rat wrote: ↑Sun Jun 30, 2024 10:25 am I’m another who lurks on here and gleans information, asks dumb questions, takes ideas and inspiration from others who have pioneered techniques. What ever problem you have, someone, will have encountered the same thing and solved it. This is why I love this site, you get sensible answers and genuine help, unlike the drama queens over on FB.

I prefer entirely hand built and than painted so I guess Tamiya is the only option than, but I have seen something like this tho and manual shows a lot of assembly am I rightJib wrote: ↑Sun Jun 30, 2024 6:19 am I think Taigen has like one or two kits, but mostly deal in RTR. Pretty much everything else outside of Tamiya is RTR, although I think Hooben has a couple of kits, but I’ve seen mixed reviews on the quality of them.
I think you can get a lot of them unpainted, if thats your thing.
Hello Mate I checked out your website and loved your basement diorama set up could you detail how you did it and how large of an area is needed and materials used? Also in a basement I am not the person to run my RC all the time maybe once a month how do you prevent dust from gathering, and how to make a smoke generator. Sorry for all the questionsRad_Schuhart wrote: ↑Sat Jun 29, 2024 8:05 pm Good point. I also hanged tracks, but spare tamiya tracks that a friend gave me. I had no idea about the manganese thing, makes sense!
