Global Scale Modeller

Hi fellas

Its been a while since i posted anything(busy time at work) however things have eased down, so i can get some more time at the bench!
Its a bit late but as soon as i saw this group build i knew i had to join in the fun!

This is the Hobby boss t26 the kit itself is very good and lightyears ahead of the Zvezda the only problems i found was a fit issue with the turret fitting onto the hull and the poorly casted tracks. I added cast texture with the 'Tamiya cement method' as well as a set of fruil tracks, i used a 0.6mm pin vice and 0.5mm brass rod as i find the wire provided to be very flexable. The final modification was using solder to wire ip the turret lights and the front headlight. I will post some painting progress soon(hopefully)

Nice, not seen one of those before.

Thanks for the reply

I usually build more 'obscure' subjects such as early German and Russian armour, I must say the T26 has quickly become one of my favourite tanks

Now onto the painting, here I'm aiming to achieve a varied(messy) base-coat , a mess i know, but it will provide an interesting foundation for my whitewash.

Cool! "Cute" liitle tank with great details. I'll keep an eye on this build, hehehe! Greetz from Germany. Jens

Thank you! I am truly honoured, it certainty felt very small to start with but once I got a 'feel' for it was fine
