Not sure how to use a translation app on my phone. Do you take a photo of it and the phone translates it or ?? -
What words of advice can you offer those of us who have never built a card model now that you have some experience under your belt. What parts of it seem the most challenging? The fact the instructions are in a non native language is intimidating to me. What steps are you taking to solve that issue or are you fluent in other languages?

With the exception of a set of deck crew figures not yet in my possession, this project is rapidly coming to a close. I applied a blue-black wash to the deck then masked and painted some random deck planks in a darker wood color. Next I intend to give one last wash then add a few missing pieces to the deck along with a little detail painting.

Thanks Yves. I painted the blast bags with Mr Color bone. Then applied liberally a Tamiya brown detailing wash. After the wash dries in about 20 minutes, clean away the excess using a paint brush wet with odorless enamel thinner and a cotton swab. Remove enough excess brown to your satisfaction that leaves shadows in the recesses. Next for the deck treatment, I have covered the mahogany primer with Mr Color sandy brown. After allowing the coat to dry, will continue with additional applications of oil paints and washes to detail out the deck.

For the life of me, cannot figure out how to make a pre order. Maybe if I wait a bit longer a pre order won’t be necessary. The figures posed in deck cleaning activities will help make an interesting display.

Edward the influencer. A good influence.

Thanks Ken. It won’t be as prominent with the guns in place. The flat coat tones it down a lot as well.

Chieftain tank by king derelict - FINISHED - Takom - 1/72

That's a super camo job, Alan. Looks awesome! -
Thanks Mike. I think the base will really set it off. Got to wait until tomorrow or Monday to start painting the base. Paint on order due to arrive then.

Trying not to over do it…added some streaking light rust, grime, and light gray. Want to keep it subtle. A good dull coat over everything should blend it all much better. Waiting until my guns and blast bags are finished and installed for the dull coat.

The kit provides a section of clear monofilament (fishing line) for the railings. I decided to replace it with Plastruct .3mm styrene rod.

Thanks for the comments gentlemen. Will do a little more weathering then give it all a dull clear coat to seal it all in. Saving the railings for last as I am afraid of breaking them while handling the model. I've already dumb-thumbed the stanchions a couple of times but stopped short of actually breaking them off.

Gave the entire model a blue wash-filter, then added some accent color and rust streaking.

I have hand painted some chipping effects and detailed some raised parts, then gave the entire model a good gloss coat of lacquer. This gloss coat is in preparation for washes and other effects to be added later after it dries thoroughly.

All for logical reasons 🤗

A few years ago I splurged and bought a 1:200 Scharnhorst with all the laser cut frames, photo etch, brass barrels, anchors, props, etc. Then I realized I likely bought more to chew than I could swallow. 😐

In the past I have ordered from GPM as well as from a now defunct seller in Ukraine. But I still wonder why hobby shops in the USA make no effort to sell these products. Maybe it’s a matter of no USA distributor to order from.

Are these available in hobby shops in the UK, or do you mail order the kits? I have never seen a card model in a US shop and I wonder why.
