Hello all.
Using Woodland Scenics ST1447 Foam Putty as a filler between the bricks the mortar line has been done.
Next will be another coat of the brick colours to enhance and a thin coat of grey for the mortar.

Thanks for looking in .
John

Yes indeed Steve.

 

[JOHN R]

There's more. Today sat and painted the mortar line , then redid the brick colours and another wash on the rendering.

Thanks for looking in , comments welcome, good , bad or just plain abuse

 

[JOHN R]

Need to add some sponge work with a slight colour to the render sections.
Hopefully get that done tomorrow afternoon .

Confession time.

I just saw an email alert for this thread. It said "Marder 111" in the subject. It has been bothering me.

It is just the font used I guess, but viewed as a webpage it shows "Marder III", which this is NOT.

Carry on!

That keeps mildly bugging me as well I don't know what it looks like on John's screen, but to me, the title looks like the top of these two when the bottom is what's meant:

Easy enough to fix by editing the title, which John can do if he can still edit the first post in this thread. If he can't, it needs an admin.

Just caught up on the brick work, and as usual better than before. Such a pity it cannot be seen in real life instead of photo's as the finish is so much better...

Who is worried... We all know what it means and so if John gets a 'D' for the mistake, are we really that bothered.
You should see some of the spelling and grammar mistakes, but who gives a dotcomma, we are here to model not do graduate English...
Please, we had to put up with such pedantics on the last forum, let's not have it here as well.

I was only bothered in trying to determine if this Marder III was a smaller variant of the Marder III that I was pretty familiar with that used the Soviet 76mm.

I understood it was just a typo when it came in via email and the font showed they were Arabic numerals not Roman.

 

[JOHN R]

Yes it was just a mistake putting the 111 , in stead of III.
Shall I continue ?

 

[Jakko]

Please do!

More tomorrow, looking much more like a building , windows in, and some weathering on some ricks from a leaking gutter ( well it will be when the gutter goes on )

No problem, all sorted out now and back to the model...

Evening to UK viewers, and good day depending on where you are in the US and other countries.
Spent the last few days working on the buildings, esp the doors made from plastic sheet .

From this .

Looking good John.
