It looks to me like the tracks are upside down..........

Lookin’ good Ken……….. I’m sort of glad this topic came up………… I just ordered some AK Interactive Dark Steel Pigment (AK-086) after reading of its virtues on another recent thread……..I’m just having a hard time envisioning just how to apply this product……. What do you...

Great thread!! You're right about the crowding. I'm building a diorama now (about 12" X 10") with a t-34/85 and a gaz vehicle.........and NINETEEN figures.. I thought that this should fill things up, but no..........I'm scrounging my old kits for stuff to scatter about.....

Tidy indeed....my area usually looks like a burnt out rat's nest..... Your compressor looks like mine (Harbor Freight special)............ Me? My eyes suck........I'd have to move the assembly area directly in front of that window.... Have at it! WF......

Getting close……….The actual construction sucks. But the build was/is a success in that I wanted to learn winter washes and to this end, I am well satisfied. Whoever steered me to those AK products had it right! That “Worn Weather Effects” was quite easy to use; it only took a short...

Man oh man Tony……… I’ve been going over some of your stuff again,,,,,,,,makes me realize that I’ve got a loooooooooonnnnnnggg way to go!! Oh well, practice, practice, practice………. Anyway, after much kicking and screaming, I’ve arrived at this point in my Suchka…. She is...

Yeah, After the gun assembly there were still errors here and there but nothing of real consequence. The main things these errors do though, is erode your confidence in the instructions. Many, many times I’ve encountered some problem in assembly that was made immeasurably easier to solve by...

well tony,,,,,takin' a little chill on the assembly and kicking back doing some detail work on that cantankerous gun assembly and am finding the photos of your build most helpful........good interior shots! Thanks! WF......

That’s a good way of putting it Tony! Anyway, I “hammered my way through the gun assembly” (see attachment; how do you like my version of your jig Tony?...cowboy carpentry, the foam board is 3/16 inch thick and the popsicle stick is about ¼ inch thick)…..its roughed out and I’m...

More fun & games..........Step 9 check out these mistakes.......... I'm getting used to this though........in a Dragon kit, if something doesn't fit smoothly; you've probably messed up somehow..........in this mini art kit, if a part doesn't fit smoothly; feel lucky you've got the right part at...

The fit, that's a stretch calling it that... Take a look at the putty on the upper assembly in the attachment!, that's how the fit has been! Commonly the pieces don't even look like those depicted in the instructions........(see my notes on the background instructions)...I'm really looking...

This build is finally underway.............. Man, if this is the best SU-76 out there, I'd hate to see the worst! I've gone over all of the reviews and builds online (at least the ones I can find, 3 I believe; Thanks Tony!) found a mistake or two here & there......... Unlike the builds I...

Well………………………. I have two Soviet builds on the map: The impending SU-76 which is going to be in a winter wash scheme……I believe I’m going to be shooting Vallejo and Tamiya paints here………. After this Su-76/Marder build is done, I’m going to build a Trumpeter...

This build (Mini Art SU 76 #35036) is about a week out, taking a break after the Dragon Panther........I'm getting ready to drop some cash on some more items that were suggested in the Jimenez DVD............ Looking around the purveyor's site to see if there's anything else I might pick up...

I picked up some AK products and love them……..the washes are great. I was a little dismayed when I discovered that I had overlooked the fact that they are enamels but they work fine, superbly actually. I’ve employed them on my current build (Dragon Panther G). Anyway, I got the winter...

So…………I go to the AK site and pick up the products I mentioned above: The DVD, the two chipping fluids, washes (Panzer grey, green and I think yellow)…. While I’m there, in order to defer future shipping costs, are there any other products they have that you fellows...

Again, Thanks guys! I guess I should have mentioned that I’ll be using acrylics…….. (oops) Okay………so forget pastels…….I’m good with that; wasn’t in love with the idea anyway. No one seems to like the Vallejo liquid mask and sponge idea……….disadvantages? Speaking of...

However.............I can't go tooooooooooooo wrong.......check out this photo...... [attachment deleted by admin]

Thanks guys…………….. Per usual, one question brings a passel more questions……….. I am building the MiniArt #35036 SU-76M………… Okay, Tony……..you state; “Fritz it's not that easy my friend but it's the best of what's out there.” I’m not sure what you are saying tony...

Hi guys!! Not many women do this, do they? Wonder why……. Anyway, I’m relatively new here and thought with my next build slowly appearing on the horizon I might as well start the thread ( I just got a camera). I’m currently finishing a Dragon Panther G and when that’s done I’m onto a...
