indeed.

An impressive well built model 👍

Interesting model.

I have no experience with card or ironclads. 

I'm just going to watch, follow, learn and press the like button 👍😉

Very nice paintwork.

Or build a Tiger for comparison

Or a WW1 British tank 😉

And welcome back

Thanks for the nice comments.

Wheels and tracks are in place.

The vinyl tires have one disadvantage. Normally these plastic tracks can be glued with regular plastic glue. Now it is necessary to use CA glue.

Indeed, very nice work on the anchors (and the whole model of course)

Gun lifts and Turret lifts are always nice, you don't see too many of them and the images are mostly Panther turrets with a few Tiger's thrown in.... Engine lifts are good as well but they generally didn't use a Strabo for an engine lift.... There was one shot I saw a decade or so ago where a strabo was lifting the whole front end of a Pz. III but for the life of me I can't find it again...

Now I know very much and i discovered that i did wrong work.

dont now yet 🤔

 So I'm going to do this again, the right way  ☹️ 

In the US units that use a lot of captured vehicles are called a "rag tag circus"  😉

Yes, the chassis is a standard T34 (turret removed).

And, indeed, Military modeling season is started 

Ammo rack in place 

Nice work 

And welcome to MSW

What you have there is called marling.  It would be used to gasket the furled sail to the yard.

 

The problem with using that to bend on a sail is that if one piece parted the whole sail would  blow out because the whole thing is one piece of rope with a series of half hitches.

You would need to have the individual robands as shown in your lower diagrams in order to properly bend on a sail.  The proper roband hitch varied across time and also when utilized on an upper or lower yard.

Thanks,

I will follow your advice.

Looks much better already 

Welcome to the build of this unique T34.
This was not a standard conversion but a "in the field conversion" of a German unit.

brief history

UM is a company from Ukraine,  these kits have usually good details and are easy to build

The box

Plans

Parts

Rubber tires on tankwheels, very unusual

Building the chassis. And for the first time problems with a UM kit.

Where is part C47?? And... the fenders are too long 

Problems solved (a piece of sprue is a new part C47 and the fenders shortened)

drill out the exhausts

Chassis and wheels ready ( needs some more sanding here and there)

After viewing several build logs I tied my sails to the yards this way. (on a English galleon 2nd half of the 16th century)

I recently bought the book  "Tudor warship Mary Rose" ( a carrack 1st half 16th century) and there is this method  D12 and D12/1

Yes , a carrack is not a galleon, and there is little information available about this era.
My question: Is the method I used acceptable or is it from a later period?

but I don't know if I'm right

In my opinion not. The filler blocks seem to come more forward

Check out the Bounty build of DaveBaxt .

Small update (as always from October on, most of my hobby time will go to military modeling)

All sails are tied to the yards.

Bought a book as preparation for a next project.

To discover this

I think I will (have to) do this step all over again 😟

did they use RLM02 for the interior of the tanks

RLM02 is very greenish, so i dont think so.

More something ivory white (elfenbein RAL1001) in the crew compartiment 

Red oxide (primer) in the engine  compartment
Hatches can be in the same color as the outside but not always

these are my ideas 

But, It may also depend on the paint that was available. Crew interior definitely a light color for better visibility inside
