RC Tank Warfare community hobby forum

I'd not normally brag about something which is not my own, but I am sure that you will understand.

As many of us, I have a very understanding spouse. This is because I am a modeller. Not just tanks, nor just trains, nor planes, ships, figures, 40K, dolls, houses etc.

I love making models of any and every sort.

This has resulted in great clutter, expense and other matters over which any reasonable lass would have good grounds for violent, terminal divorce.

Yuka, on the other hand has not only tolerated my tickle-minded attitude to models, but has increasingly taken to the hobby herself - starting with large scale dolls, then dolls houses, then 1/16 houses for our WWII Tank Club and finally to her own tank. *_*

She hi-jacked one of the Heng Longs I recently acquired and has 'had a go' at a scheme provided for her by my old mate, Yosuke.

Now, be nice, ladies and gents. This is her first time on anything like this. Her first time with sprays, washes and airbrushes; which she forgot to clean and now is gummed solid with acrylic.

Anyway, enjoy - because I know I enjoyed watching her work.



I like the generally mucky air she has achieved with a sepia wash.



I gave her the wrong clear-coat at the end - giving her Enamel instead of Acrylic - but I think we have escaped largely unscathed with just minor bubbling.



*swells with pride* That's ma gal!

Thats a fantastic job for a first timer, she must have been practising in private
I wish my wife would take an interest in my modelling,
perhaps if I started making shoes or handbags

And NOW you know exactly what Oddball was going to show Crapgame that night!

But seriously... Yuka's a quick study and has the patience of a Saint. We are going to do the next one together - as soon as pennies will allow. She wants me to do a Stug IV, if I can source am Asiantan body kit. Though, I think that is so she can hijack the Tamiya PzIV body and grade-up the other HL Pz.

Great work there. I know what it's like to have an understanding partner. Mine has promised to buy me an armortek model as soon as she gets a job. Does'nt know I already have one on order. It takes a lot of understanding when ypur partner is engaged working on models for hours at a time and hijacks holidays to visit tank museums. She should become a forum member now. Not enough females here and I know there are a few around.

Here we go then. I might as well have my own account, so I do not have to read over the fatty's shoulder all the time.

Anyway, though I do like this Panzer, I am declaring for the Allies and joining the Ronson Boys!]

M4life!

Great paint job.

My better half wanted me to paint my Tiger pink, I said no. So she said camoflauge pink. I'm not one for sticking to realistic detail but even I thought that was a push too far. Told her I will get her, her own so she can paint it pink.

It will be a short war. I control the fuel reserves (He's barred from the kitchen after the Yorkshire Pudding incident) and the while he has the lines of communication (PC in his Den) I have the advantage that my English is much better than his Japanese.

THAT'S HER FIRST ATTEMPT?????????? I think I need to find another hobby....That thing is awesome!!!!
