Trumpeter E-10: Update July 6: filter, wash and scratch

I still haven't posted the final beauty shots of my E-100 but things are going so fast with the E-10 that I decided to post some shots of this little beast. It is nearly finished for weathering (meaning still pristine and squeaky clean). Okay, without further jawflapping:

Now I am quite sure that the camo isn't correct and that the serial number is probably wrong, so..........................Smile,Wink, & Grin [swg]

Cheers,

Julian

Re: Trumpeter E-10: new project
hey julian, you did a good job i think (not a ww2 guy). the tracks and the paint job look great. the only thing i think you should redo or do differently next time is the tow cable. i dont think you'll find too many that are "straight silver"/metal. but again...maybe they are and im the guy who doesnt know it so i dont want to sound like im comming down on your build. i like the tank and the figures in the first pic!

She's a looker for sure.  I do like the camo myself so don't be too hard on it!

Re: Trumpeter E-10: new project

Thanks for the feedback, the tow wires are hideous at the moment I agree. Everything still has to be weathered so the bright shiny steel is a very temporary thing I can assure you Smile [:)]

Re: Trumpeter E-10: new project

Looking good Jullian, I can't wait to see it weathered. Sure is tiny compared to the E100.

Re: Trumpeter E-10: new project

Thanks Guney, have added the filters and plan to do the "dance of the oil dots" today to fade the paint. Seeing my experiences with the E-100 I will leave "Indian Red" in the tube this time Blush [:I].

Re: Trumpeter E-10: new project

Thank you Joe, the build does need dirtying up, much too sharp and clean at the moment.

Re: Trumpeter E-10: new project

You got me to reading Julian.  I had never heard of this vehicle.  Very cool.  I love tank destroyers! 

I can't wait to see this one finished.  Consider yourself saluted with 14 Thumbs Up!  Thumbs Up [tup]

Re: Trumpeter E-10: new project

First round of filters, oil dot washing and first scratches have been added. Wheel hubs are too dark at the moment due to layer of Lifecolour "oil" which will be toned down to fit in better. More scratching and dirtying to follow this stage. Herman the German version II gives an idea of the size of this little monster.

Thanks for looking,

Julian

Re: Trumpeter E-10: new project

Looks great Julian!!   Did you create the weld seam across the front of the upper hull?  If you did that was a nice touch.

Re: Trumpeter E-10: new project

Hi Edmund, yes, treated myself to a micro soldering iron and this was my first experiment in touching up a weld seam (and something I will do on a regular basis with the following models) The seam on this little guy just screamed for attention Smile [:)]

Re: Trumpeter E-10: new project

 Julian, both of these are really nice builds and weathered very realistically. Are there any plans for the E-25 to add to these two paper panzers? Keep up the great work.Thumbs Up [tup]

Re: Trumpeter E-10: new project

Nicework on both pieces. 

You know at first I didn't care for the design but when I saw a build up with the skirts in place - totally changed the look and my mind. One now sits in my collection.

Again, Nice job!
