OT-34/76 Flamethrower Tank Complete!
Finally! The model is complete. I guess it turned out ok and as always I learned a lot to say the least.
This model is finally coming to an end. It has given me some unreal bad luck and hardships to cope with. So i’m glad I’m finally through it. The tracks are still left and I have ordered metal tracks from Friulmodel instead of the plastic ones loosly fitted on now. In Sweden the number 13 is for BAD LUCK so it rightfully received them on the turret. I find it really hard to righteously recreating the model on images but will try to take better pictures once the new tracks are fitted.
Finding 15 minutes here and there adds up quite well. Color-modulation is now done on this OT-34 from Dragon models. For those of you that have followed this blog, knows that construction on this model was completed at the first week of the year. But a massive series of misfortunes have really tested my temper on this one. Therefore it will rightfully receive the number 13 on it’s turret. Let’s just hope that the rest goes well now. Weathering and detail painting is up next. It’s hard to take good pictures of it, but here it is:
This is the Dragon OT-34/76 built with some extras from Voyager and Aber. I built this as a quick project to try out some new painting ideas I have. The tracks are just temporary fitted here.
This is my Guam Sherman M4A2 that I finished a couple of weeks ago. It’s the Dragon Tarawa M4A2 kit with wading stacks from Tank-Workshop and hand crafted stowage. The wading stacks were not prototypical so I had to modify them to match the real prototype. To be correct the wading stacks were welded flush on the hull instead of being separated from the tank.
The idea with this model was to try and heavily layer different oils to create variation in the base color. I believe that not much of show through the weathering dough but I will definitely try and take it even further next time.
A quick update on the painting progress.
The construction phase is now complete. A lot of work went in to the wading stacks.
