Had a chat this morning with Lode. I told him I was thinking of a bf109 as my next build. She has gained some weight! 😄

All pieces are cut, sanded and prepped for primer. Some pieces already have primer on.

This is going pretty ahead, Martin. Nice job with the mr surfacer and the damage on the turret. I liked it much

Martin Oostrom
Thank you Lode. I started with some preshading. Some work left 😉

Quite a lot of preshading. That is going to come nicely out in the painting

I recently bought this model too. I'll replace the turret with a Blackdog hessian camo one. I wonder if it will all keep up to the AFV model I made earlier. You've already advanced far! Good idea to look for metal links in stead of the vinyl you got.

Well, it is time to decide if my preshading worked....

Completely missed this one, but nice work so far. The cast texture you applied to the turret looks very good. 👍

I wish my painting skills were half as good as your. Looking good!

Tim, Can we trade skills then for a couple of weeks? I want to paint some cars and you rock at that 👍
Thank you James. Currently on hold due to my Covid quarantine.

After my release from my COVID prison, I need to finish some stuff on my bench first 😉

Lode Schildermans
Go go go, Martin. We've seen a lot of starts in your COVID prisontime. Time to finish them, including this Churchill tank

Nicely put Lode.

Sure, no pressure 😄

Almost looks like you know what you're doing! LOL! Keep up the good work!

Martin Oostrom
I DO know what I'm doing! Sort of, maybe 😄
I use this magazine, which has all kinds of techniques, which I mix and match scalemates.com/press/issue.php?id=229
It is so much easier to learn when each step is detailed with pictures.
I must confess I'm pretty pleased with the result and even more with your compliments 🙂

Tim Heimer
Well then I guess you're on the right track! or maybe the left one! 🙂 Looks like a magazine well worth getting. Thanks

Dusted her a bit. Mostly to hide some imperfections😄

Lode Schildermans
Martin, which imperfections?
8 December 2020, 06:32
Spanjaard
I think it is in the rigging 😛

Martin Oostrom
See Lode? The dust hid them! It worked 😄

Spanjaard
LOL!

During my covid depression I moved this to the end of the desk. Now the lime/purple monster is done, I found the Churchill again. To my surprise all parts were glued and all decals done. So I took a jar of pigment and a brush. Now I'm declaring this one done as well!
Beter pictures to follow in sunlight

Looking forward to the final reveal Martin. The Churchill (along with the Cromwell, Centaur and Comet) is on my "todo" list for later this year as well, to finish off my British WW2 armour collection.

nicely done
7 March 2021, 23:05
Tim Heimer
That'll work! Looks good!

Thank you all for riding out this looooong build with me

Lode Schildermans
But the result, Martin, was worth the long building time
14 March 2021, 20:01
Martin Oostrom
When I typed long build, I was thinking of you actually 🙂

Lode Schildermans
Martin, impossible to beat me on that point 🙂

So true!
