ZiS-2 57mm Anti-tank w/Limber

[Solander]

Man, these detailing is insane! Absolutely awesome! Keep up your great work

 

[TRM]

Sorry for the little delay Sol...thanks buddy!!

A quick update....

Inside of the Splinter Shield is complete. I will need to make a couple adjustment to things I am not too happy with, but I will sort these out and then onto the front side! If you keeping track : I am not even 1/3 the way through the PE frets. Most of the shinny little stuff is apparently concentrated into the gun carriage and limber....

Thanks for stopping by!! ;D

 

[spud]

looks pretty good for somthing your not happy with.....

 

[TRM]

LOL..Thanks Spud! Thinking I am just having a little "tiny-blindness"... stare at something to long and too close up and you go a bit blind!! Or Mad, not sure about either!! ;D

Correction...I was a little off in saying I was complete on this side. Realized after posting earlier, I forgot to add some rivets. Thought I finished, but when I just took some pics....missed 3 Back at it in a little while. Giving the eyes a rest and tackling a pin wash on the Panther!

 

[NecronautDrummer]

Looking pretty sweet on that mantle!

 

[spud]

[TRM]

Thank you ND!!!! ;D

LOL..Yup Spud...was thinking the same thing!!

[Myke]

Stellar construction work mate! That PE stuff is not for the impatient that's for sure.

 

[TRM]

Thank you Myke! LOL, Every so often tho, you just feel like ripping along!! That's pretty much break time at that point! ;D

Minor update, just showing where she stands...

The front of the shield...minus the rivets...

Placed it in place just to see how it fits...

Still a bit rough in that top right corner...me and some CA had some words over that!!!

I cleaned up a couple axle pieces for the carriage...not really looking forward to the PE leaf springs, but then again, "nothing ventured, nothing gain"...right? :

Thanks for stopping by!!

 

[Chris S]

I was just thinking .This would look good left unpainted with a painted figure beside it ;D ....Excellent madness my friend

Chris.

 

[spud]

looking good Trm, i would also think unpainted would be Good, be a shame to hide all that hard work

 

[TRM]

Thanks guys!! Funny, I was thinking of painting it and leaving an unpainted figure next to it... NNNnnnoooo! But I had thought of making a figure in patina bronze style. : Do a little museum-y thingy Vig?? ???

Cutting pieces for the carriage after I am done checking what everybody has done over the weekend!! ;D

 

[Texaslobo]

That much PE makes My eyes hurt. What type of CA are You using?

 

[TRM]

Thanks Tex!! A combination of Mercury Adhesives Thin and Medium!! Mostly thin on the tiny, tiny stuff! LOL!! ;D

 

[Texaslobo]

Thanks. Never thought to mix thin and medium together. Going to have to try that on the rest of the PE work on the Dragon kit I am building.

 

[Myke]

That corner that you had fits with..., well that just a weathering opportunity. That's the great thing about PE, if you bend it, it still looks natural.

This is looking awesome though. You using punch/die set for the styrene discs I take it?

 

[Bizarre]

it looks better and better. PE shield is awesome!
