Re: Char B1 bis

fellas, thanks for all those great comments!

Well, my son was born on Sunday April 17th, so I have 10 days fathers leave...of course this means helping my wife and such, but it also means I have some spare modelling time ;D. So, a couple of sessions later the hull looks already a bit different than before






Cheers

Re: Char B1 bis

thanks a lot guys

Sleepless nights, well that's alright, the little chap sleeps quite well and mum breastfeeds so dads nights are fairly good ;D

Dan, about things more to do...not too much, but still a way to go: jack supports need to be painted, final touch ups using dust and oil stains here and there, chains and a box need to be painted and weathered, some tarps will be added and the turret will need weathering as well. Tracks need to be done too...so you see, far from finished

Cheers

Re: Char B1 bis

Great paintjob and weathering!

 

[Wouter]

Re: Char B1 bis

fellas, many thanks for the congrats and great responses, pleased that you like it

Got some more OPR sessions behind me, the turret is weathered, but much more restrained. I also weathered the tracks using pigments, MIG oil and grease mixture and some oils








I think the tracks need some more weathering, not sure. Very glad that the deadline has moved a bit btw, in that way I don't need to rush things, which never is a good thing anyway

Cheers

Re: Char B1 bis

Incredible finish, that is a beautiful paint job!

 

[Leighbo]

Re: Char B1 bis

Top notch Wouter, nice finish

I think the tracks look great as they are, but its your build....!

 

[Wouter]

Re: Char B1 bis

thanks a lot guys, always nice to read such awesome comments

I added some details to the char: chains on the back are in place (real pain in the but...don't get how people can paint those metal chains decently without accidently chipping off some flakes of paint :shock: . The jerrycans are painted and weathered and glued in place, as well as the frontal additional armor in the form of spare track






slowly getting to the finish line. Need to add some pigments here and there, weather the chains a bit more and try to make a tarp on the engine deck work out

normally I should get it finished before the deadline of June 20th

Cheers
