This should take awhile...

Whoa! Looking forward to watching this one.

I'll be watching as well.....
I've done two kits with full interiors, Tiger II and Panzer IV. Very interesting builds.

 

[Rob]

Wow..I knew what I was getting into but the amount of detail they can get into a small part is amazing

Been thinking about getting a Rye Field, so I'll be watching this one with interest.

I've got the RFM M4-E8 in my stash, still able to resist getting started, for now.

Definitely gonna be watching this build. Please keep us updated Rob!

All right I'm back. Been busy with Father's Day and 36 year anniversary. Holy poop, I'm not young anymore. Okay just working on it slow mainly because I don't know what the heck I'm doing. And I want to get it right. Give me an airplane kit with no instructions and I'll get it built. But I've only Built one tank before this and it wasn't with an interior. So right now I'm going through the interior panels and sanding down raised sink marks and filling in the indented ones with super glue thick. I usually use basic putty but I saw something on YouTube where he used super glue and sanded it down so I think I'll try that. Also I think the seam in the back end? I think if I roll out some two-part epoxy super thin I could make a respectable looking weld joint? So I'll get all the sink marks worked out and use some thinset and a brush and get some texture on the walls and go from there.

The more I get into this build the more I learn from researching a little bit and looking at pictures. This is my attempt at textured Steel

Nice! Anxious to see how that looks with paint!
What did you use to apply the putty and give it texture?

That's just a white basic putty with thinset applied with an old paintbrush I usually use for dry brushing

Looks and sounds like you've been watching Night Shift on YouTube.

Nice work so far.

Thx. Night shift? Maybe. I don't pay attention to who is making a video. I look at one thing before I watch. How many people watched it? If it's been out a year and only 30 people watched it? I'm not going to bother. And once I start watching it I better be able to understand you. There's one dork building a model on YouTube that I couldn't watch. Now I know there's paints out there that shouldn't harm you but why the hell does he have to spray paint all over his hands like he doesn't care? It's ridiculous one thing. The other thing it's totally a put-off to watch. It's like watching a guy build a model with a booger hanging off his finger
