Welcome to MSW 

Thanks everyone for the nice comments

So, did some experimenting. 

The result should represent a winter camouflage at the end of winter, with a somewhat rusty appearance. And the tank needs now an urgent spring clean up and repaind job.

Almost ready

Nice job Patrick!

 

A well worn winter field applied whitewash... just the way it should look....

Thanks,  

Indeed, Pretty okay. But I'm going to do some experimenting on this i think 

This is chapter 2 of the T26 tanks (and also the last T26 from my stash)

Only 1 prototype was ever built in 1934 and tested in 1935. 

The intention was to have a mobile armored observation post for artillery

The only info i found

Loving your work Patrick    - so hope there is a part number  (T72)  in the kit   😉

 

OC.

Thanks OC (but, no T72 in this kit 😉)

All part are on the model

Painting

It's been a while since I've done a winter camo. So a green base coat with a thin white wash.

Base coat

White wash

almost ready

Very good  👍

Not sure if you've found this site yet. But there is a lot of information to be found

Due to other activities there was no time for modeling last 2 weeks
But, we've started up again.
The tracks are now mounted and the turret is ready with some extra details (turret not yet glued on the chassis).

A very nice balcony 👍

Indeed, a very nice result 👍

Always nice to follow this build and be surprised what some can do on this small scale.

Great "small" work Steven

I will follow this, and watch and learn 😉

The Leopold is very impressive with the 2 Tiger tank hulls, nice work.

Ps,

This is the only i have on your project.

No project has progressed beyond the drawing board. For the first project (with the Tiger I) Henschel's short answer was: no time to build 2 extra chassis

PS. My drunken sailor seems to have jumped ship and a walled. Can’t find him anywhere.

He has a hangover and is sleeping somewhere in the hold 😇

(nice work)

Nic work,

Building a model from scrap is indeed more complex than a kit model.

The second planking was a really a fight...😕

Very nice planking 👍

The running gear.

The parts are first pre painted

Running gear in place and set to dry

making sure all the cannons are same height up and down but I will attack that when the time comes. 

An attack on all these cannons?? 

Good luck and be careful  😉

Ps

The cannon ports worked out well 👍

Nice work.

And welcome back
