This was the first styrene attempt of mine, and to also open and hinge hatches that are sealed on HL tanks.
I also added tow rope holders, made my own vent covers, and added the chain and pins too.
thats about it I guess

Here are some more build pictures

The next pictures are of the paint job.

I was actually going to leave it as dark yellow and red brown but after posting on Hobby Havoc a forum member showed me the light and posted a pic of what she should look like so I added dark green and it's proof as to why a second opinion always helps

And the last batch of pictures are of the final weathering

normaly i'd post progress pictures but since i'm new here and never posted a build i've dumped it all in one

Sorry

Great stuff.Just up my alley.

I have a Tam JP on the way, and I would like to know what type of material you used to make the track hangers and chains(what size)

Thanks.

Great work diverfrost, you have an eye for detail. Well done.

Thanks guys,

Maxmekker the hangers are out of styrene shaped by me.

and the chain i bought o e bay and here is the link

Or PM me your Address and i'll send you some as you can see by the link i have plenty

I used standard sewing pins which fit perfectly in the links then used liquid solder to fix them and trimed the pin to length.

Dietrich cheers mate and yeah sure i'll paint your tanks

but it's not the same if someone else does it.
to get the hard line for the camo i used blutack and paper to mask off, it works well

Here are two pictures of making the spare track chains.

liquid solder has a low melting temp and you can even use a lighter

I used my butane soldering torches naked flame and it literally takes a second!
