Some more of my stuff and modifications.

Thanks all.
I think I keep those old tanks around to remind myself of where I started. Either that or I’m just lazy, and they’re pieces that didn’t need paint. Of course now is when I notice the British ones missed out on their wash. Just when you think the punch list is done.
@folewnik. Can’t wait to see them, I can imagine the tragic scenes. One warning, to much list makes them hard to pick up.

Mech. Infantry

“Meanwhile, in the basement of Doom.”
Was staring at a pair of twisted G-8Ns when I started to notice a few similarities to another bomber. Figured since I had a little time, went to work.

Plastic left over from control tower job made fuselage plug, milliput filled the nose. Still can’t believe I got the fin to stick.

Not perfect, but I think they’ll pass as B-29. Still debating how I’m going to do the windows.

@DMcLaren
Don’t forget straightening ship hulls and tank gun barrels. Although, now you mention it, I think these wings were forgotten.
You’ll have to forgive an old man with CRS. HaHa.

@folewnik
82 and tail letters decals, circles drawn.
Normally I’d draw black numbers and such but I ordered a set of white decals, was sent black by mistake and told to keep them.

Thanks for input. None of my metallics really fit. Remembered I have a Vallejo gunmetal blue to late.

In back is a sanded down B-17 I was using for testing that didn’t turn out to bad either. Dress it up as a Russian copy Tu-4.

Finally a Jagdpanther! I guess 3rd time is a charm.


First 2 attempts were with the current Panther hull, couldn’t get the symmetry right.
Went back to the first gen. panther for this one. The hull being a bit longer and the lack of skirts might help.
Also, I think I’ve found a good cannon barrel replacement material. This is the bamboo core from an incense stick.
Stay safe.

I love the smell of sandalwood in the morning!

Been bringing my artillery and AA pieces up to current appearance standards. Got bored with that assembly line work, made these.
Have a heavy transport house tech. rule, normally a small tape flag on aft mast is now this.

Since I had the U.S. naval colors out, I pushed through with the Lexington rebuild.
Here’s the previous look.

Reused everything but the rear structure, boosting the fwd. island about 1.5mm. Rear section fabricated with styrene stock.

Think I might have gone a little to big? Still 100% better. That’s what I get for trying to use the rear of a classic tank turret the first time.
Stay safe all.

Greetings.
Has it been a rough few months or what? Hope everyone’s doing well.
Since my set has been trapped in a buddies basement since last summer, I haven’t been able to work on or get pics of what has been finished.
I have been dipping into HBG’s 3d printed selection, picking up a set of Crusaders; a Nelson; an Eagle CV; some Iowas and the Graf Spee.

Still not 100% sure about my Royal Navy color palette, but they should be close.
I also liked the Indiana enough to put her in with Missouri.
Oh I found a WIP of some US. dudes.

Stay safe.
