Holger KranichMeine Fresse, wie machst Du das? Da kann sich ja selbst MIG noch was von abschneiden... A hell of a great weathering!
23 June 2012, 21:20
Erik Francisco Zimmermanndas möchte ich auch können, 🙂 . I witch I can do that. 🙂

Frank KrauseWhen I start my M26 I'll paint it in pink, because whatever I would try, I'd never be able to compete with you. Great job! Looking forward to the final result.😉

Markus Kutsch The Plastic BenchThanks for all your comments.It makes me very proud (blush). 🙂
@Duncan Hah hah ,thats a good one.
@ Holly. Perhaps Mig will read this and i soon be working at AK Interactive.It will make a richer person out of me (inside,of course) 😉
@ Frank Dont worry .There are Pink Jeeps too. So why not. 🙂

Aghis BarberopoulosThis is just superb Markus, love the weathering, dirtying and chipping techniques! Lovely !!!
24 June 2012, 08:59
Markus Kutsch The Plastic BenchThanx Aghis.Dirt (pigments) will be subtile ,because i dont want to cover the chipping work and the stressed surface.On the turret will be more rainmarks and less chipping,i think.
24 June 2012, 09:25
Markus Kutsch The Plastic BenchA little of the chipping work on the engine deck will be covered with the stowage (see Pic 13.This pic. was shot before the weathering).
But it must be put on.An American Tank without Stowage is like Mickey without Minnie or in german"Hinz without Kunz " and so on 🙂

Wilfried BogaertsAre this pictures of the real thing?
Nice work Markus, very realistic finish, well done!

Markus Kutsch The Plastic BenchThanx Mates for all your Comments.
@ Willfried
Of course it not the original !Its just a piece of plastic that we all try to look like it was real steel! 🙂

Markus Kutsch The Plastic Bench@Acki
Ha Ha ,my family will be thrilled if i tell them that i got still less time for them,as i am already have.They say that iam even now a little pale in the face,because i havent see the Sunlight for Days.🙂
But i worked on the Turret today .Perhaps i will take a few Pics.
And thanx for all your amazing comments.It push me forward.

Markus Kutsch The Plastic BenchHi Mates
Here a few pics from the turret.I worked only on the upper half.The sides just need to be done with rainmarks and stains,not so much chipping as on the horizontal surfaces.
See turret from pic 14 on.

Aghis BarberopoulosThis is a real work of art, Markus! You are increasing the standards with every photo!!!
27 June 2012, 18:14
Markus Kutsch The Plastic BenchThe periscops are made from exposed 35mm KB Film.Its a little work to cut them to the matching size but its worth the work.It looks a lot better than painted,i think.
S .Zaloga did it in one of his books,so its not my Idea!!!!

Holger KranichSag mal bitte, ist die rauhe Oberfläche so, oder hast Du die erst erschaffen?
27 June 2012, 20:09
Markus Kutsch The Plastic BenchHi Holly
Dremel mit Fräskopf lässt grüssen.Langsamste Geschwindigkeit und dann vorsichtig "titschen" lassen.Falls zu rau ,nochmal mit en bischen feinem Schleifpapier drüber!
27 June 2012, 20:26
Markus Kutsch The Plastic BenchRough turret surface is done with a Dremel tool at low speed with a milling head.If too rough,redo with sandpaper the surface.

Markus Kutsch The Plastic BenchHi Mates
I going to use Friul Tracks for the first time on this Tank.Although it doesnt make much sense,because you dont see much .There are sideskirts.But i think they look much better,even if the tamiya vinyl ones arent bad.I have the tracks already assembeld and blackend.
28 June 2012, 05:34
Markus Kutsch The Plastic BenchCheck out the turret pics! (from pic 14 on)
Thanx for you comments.
28 June 2012, 05:35
Markus Kutsch The Plastic BenchThanks Mates.

I am happy with the result.
All your comments push me really forward !!

29 June 2012, 12:19
Frank KrauseYou still have the Sunday...! Keep 'em rolling! Thanks for the progress pictures. I'm enjoying each of them...
29 June 2012, 13:11
Markus Kutsch The Plastic BenchOn sunday i am on a school leaving examination(Abi Fete)!But in the evening.
Maybe i can do some work over the day!

Markus Kutsch The Plastic BenchHi Mates
Here is the turret on the hull.The barrel isnt weathered yet,because its only put on temporary.Its easier to weather the turret without Barrel,i think.The turret isnt also finished ,i need to do the sides with Rainmarks and stains yet.
See from Pic.19 on!

Markus Kutsch The Plastic BenchHi Michael.
Thanks a lot.
I hope that i will finish it soon before i get "the Modelling blues".
30 June 2012, 07:05
Markus Kutsch The Plastic BenchHi Mates
I choose to add the tracks next.Because the sideskirts must be put on to do the final weathering(dirt ,streaks rainmarks).I dont want to touch it to much when this work begins.
2 July 2012, 16:45
Markus Kutsch The Plastic BenchHi Wilfried !
How its going!!
Hope to see you on the next modelling show.!
Thanx Mate!

Markus Kutsch The Plastic BenchHi Mates
Today is the day to put the "Shoes" on my Pershing (Friul).
Pics. will follow when done.
4 July 2012, 05:53
Markus Kutsch The Plastic BenchI love the Sound of my Airbrush,and the smell of Tamiya colors in the Morning. 🙂
4 July 2012, 08:14
Markus Kutsch The Plastic BenchHi, Mates
I did the sideskirts yesterday.Iam a little afraid to put them on because the CA drys to fast and i got no time for corrections!
Any clues?????
Perhaps white glue.???
7 July 2012, 19:52
Markus Kutsch The Plastic BenchHi Steve
Do i get this product in germany.??
I think an equal product should be available in our DIY market.
Thanx Buddy!
7 July 2012, 20:18
Steve WilsonIt should be available in Germany, there is a great model shop in Spandau, that I saw it in. So other shops in Germany should stock it as well. DIY shops over here sell it and similar, so should be the same over there as well... I can post a picture of it if it helps...
7 July 2012, 20:24
Markus Kutsch The Plastic BenchYes,Steve post a pic.On monday i will search for it!
7 July 2012, 20:44
Aghis BarberopoulosGel type cyanoacrylate glue does wonders. Dries slowly, but for light assembies it has enough grip to hold them in place while you make adjustments.
7 July 2012, 21:24
Markus Kutsch The Plastic BenchHoliday is Shi....!
I got no time for my Pershing.Sideskirts are done ,CA gel is in place ,but no time to add this things.
But every 5 seconds its ringing in my ears...."pappppaaaaaaa!!!!"
Man,after this Holidays i need Holidays to recover me 🙂
11 July 2012, 17:58
Aghis BarberopoulosTypical family holidays ? Sounds like some of you (at least) had lots of fun haha 🙂
11 July 2012, 18:18
Markus Kutsch The Plastic BenchThis time we are at home and not in the Netherlands(greetz to all my Nethelands mates,it a very fine place to be.)Just right at this moment a 2 year old "wild hog" is attacking me from the right!!😉
11 July 2012, 18:30
Timo HonkanenSo far that model looks more real then real thing.
Fantastic paintjob.
11 July 2012, 19:06
