Here's another build log. It's not in chronological order because it was my second kit after a 20 year period of inactivity.
I decided to do the tank I always loved. And what better than a resin conversion
.
I got frustrated, angry and happy everyday. But I managed to do it with the little knowledge I had.
Hope you like it
The start. The turret was a massive piece of resin. I decided to hollow it with a Dremel. Needless to say that a made a huge mess in the house. Everything got covered with white powder... and I got a little tipsy
... and the nightmare
There were 60 of these little ball and chain pieces that had to be done one by one. The first section took me one day. The carpet monster took many many little balls...
and the end result
Again (it was a tendency of mine back then) I managed to get the color wrong. IDF colors are terrible to reproduce
but I saved it at the last minute
The rear baskets were another challenge that somehow ended nicely
The final painting and the beggining of weathering. Imagine yourself doing your second kit (in which you spend a pile of money on tracks, conversion set etc etc) using pigments for the first time
It turned out like this
Hope you like it
