Of course our dog is horrified by a car ride, I dare not imagine what a tank would be like :lol:

By the way, I happened to stumble across this photo. Photographic proof of an Irish Setter with a T-70 unit somewhere on the Eastern Front :mrgreen:

Thank you gents! :)

Still a base to make and a figure to finish, besides dusting up the T-70 itself. Possible to do that within the remaining week, but it will be hard fight... Oh well, that's how I got through university :roll:

Current state of affairs: Crewman primed , crewdog finished :lol:

Image

I have something planned for the Great War GB, but I won't start anything new until the T-70 is done. In addition I might yet build the VW Beetle as an extra for my Tiger dio, since it's not insanely large enough already :o

Let's have a little dust....because we don't have enough dust outside in Hessian Death Valley (up to 36C are expected this week...)

I wanted to get the tracks weathered as well, but these things just keep snapping apart at the slightest handling. Oh well, tomorrow...

I started fitting the tracks this evening and once again they ended up exactly one link short despite having been fitted without problems before painting. I really don't know if I should call a physicist or an exorcist to solve this mystery...

More results tomorrow I hope.

Did I mention it's still 26.5 C (~80F) outside at 11:30 PM? :?

Hot stuff Philipp

What the ****?

That has happened to me before too, figured I lost a track somewhere and moved on!

Perhaps the cumulative effect of a micro layer of paint then washes and pigments on dozens of tracks
makes it just that bit thicker and requires an extra link?

Its quite mystery :?

Still time to get over the finish line

See you there

Oh well...must be some quantum entanglement side effects on the subatomic level....they explain everything with that these days, right? :lol:

Anyhow, I didn't believe it myself but it seems there is a slight chance of actually finishing it in time:

Image

The tank itself is mostly finished, the lower hull could use a little more dirt though.

Image

The base is making progress too. I'll put some ground up soil on top to get a realistic surface, worked fine for me in the past.

Philipp

Note to self: get more dirt.
