Nice one, think it'll need the modifications the Tammy kit needs?
Regards,
Mark

Thanks guys! I appreciate it.
Mark, no; that's why I chose this kit. Dragon did the stance right so I don't have to lower anything.

I know I'm very late, so here is the latest on my Patton I've been doing for my tribute. I don't remember what I'd posted before so here's the most recent work I did. I think I left off with this pic of the Patton where the main hull and turrets were built up:  Next I added the fenders and the turret bustle rack:  Next I built the TC's cupola shown here dry-fit to the turret:  Finally, I added the mantlet cover and the main gun to this. The mantlet is made from the DS Styrene so it is flexible, allowing the gun to move:  I'm calling this puppy ready for paint. |

Thanks Robbo! I'm sorry I missed your post. This week I did manage to get some more work on my 1/35th scale Patton for this Tribute Build/AMPS Group Build, despite all the drawbacks and obstacles. First I masked off all the vision ports in the cupola with Tamiya tape and Silly Putty so I could paint it:  Later when the airbrush came out, I shot this with the OD color:  Next I shot the hull. Lower first:  The the upper hull:  They are attached, by the way.... Then I shot the turret:  Here's a shot of everything together:  After that I brush painted the mantlet cover with Field Drab. The DS plastic made it look gloss even after it dried:  That is where I left off on that. I'll do something about that mantlet cover later. I have a few ideas for trying to make it look more 'fabric' and dull. Thanks for looking in, comments are always welcome. |

Hi Mark
Personally I'd have painted the DS with gloss varnish first, let it dry a week or so and then painted it with whatever colour it needed to be, I've had that gloss from DS plastic before and that's about the only cure for it I'm afraid 🤯
Best
OB 😉
