Heller 1/72 Somua s35
Posted by Griffin25 on Sunday, August 13, 2017 5:35 PM

I have been trying to build some quick builds so I pulled my 1/72 Heller s35 out of the stash and got it done in about 2-3 weeks. That's fast for me! I got this cool base from Taiwan and I'm going to make a little diorama vignette out of it. The kit is quite nice. No real issues. I might add some stowage but it's tough for me in this scale. All Vallejo acrylics and some Tamiya weathering stuff. Those little make up type weathering kits are so convenient and easy to use. Thanks for looking.

Ohh, nice work. Great job painting the camo, did you mask and air brush or brush paint her? 

 

And are you going to yell at me if I say she's a cute lil' thing at that scale?

Thanks bud. I taped it up with Tamiya flexible tape and sprayed it with my Iwata Eclipse with Vallejo model air and then I did a couple of filters over that.

Wow, that's a great job on masking. I've gotten to using Silly Putty on 1/35th due to my trouble with masking over the curves of a AFV. On something 1/72nd with that many complex curves my hat is off to you sir!

Thanks guys. I used that white Tamiya flexible tape in 2mm and used standard Tamiya tape behind that.
