Re: Char B1 bis

thanks a lot for the heads up fellas!

Well, haven't been sitting still I must say ;D

I added some extras which weren't provided in the kit: mudscrapers, rivets, weldmarks, texture and track hangers...


the rivets are courtesy of Archer, they come on a carrier film, pretty much like decals.
I also filled the gap on the driver front plate, since it wasn't there in reality. Holes on the sponsons were cut out, this was to divert mud coming from the tracks. Doesn't look too neat, but not much will be visible afterwards

The turret received a weld bed and texture was added by brushing Tamiya Extra Thin on, and immediately I started dabbing with a short stiff brush

I took a photo with the chains on the back, because it just looks cool ;D


That's it so far, almost finished buildwise ^^

Cheers
 
Re: Char B1 bis

thanks a lot mate :)

finally a small update.

Gave the tank yesterday a basecoat: Tamiya German Grey

After that I sprayed Lifecolor Panzergrau, mixed with some white on top.


hard to see any difference, ain't it? ;D

Cheers
 
Re: Char B1 bis

Yeah boy we got paint going down will we see any colour modulation going on?

Re: Char B1 bis

Dan, thanks bud! And initially I didn't want to go color modulation...but you messed up my plans, thanks for that bud ;D

So a bit color modulation (not as heavy as I sometimes go) and I sprayed on the balkenkreuz and turretnumbers using Voyager Models masks. 1 out of 4 didn't go well, but nothing I can handle :)





Cheers
 
Re: Char B1 bis
