Looking very nice, Julian, I can't wait to see this one painted and weathered.

Weld seams and plate textures added, more grey ground to see what it looks like. Needs some sanding IMHO:
Ugliness power !

Thanks Terry, very kind of you !
Hi, Julian maybe a single colour but your more than capable of putting the icing on this cake. Good luck.
Terry.
Thanks Panzerguy, superglued and puttied the Thing into submission so far Thanks for the kind comments and yes, the Friuls alone will make a world of difference to the build.
Julian if you ask me ugly can be very pleasing to the eye.
For a Zvezda kit it looks to be going together rather well and those am goodies will bring it to a whole new level.

Psstoff995's lbro: thanks for taking a quick peek.
Bodge: yep although its an E-10: /forums/1155956/ShowPost.aspx and the E-100 is here: /forums/1135642/ShowPost.aspx
mg. mikael: Your build showed what can be done with Zvezda kits if you take some time so here I am
Thanks Bill, the montone scheme and weathering are going to be a bigger challenge on this build. Just finding the right shade of green etc. etc.
cheers,
Hi Julian,
THis is looking nice, I like green, ever since my SHerman, I like monotone a lot more than I though I would.
Thanks Bill, a challenge for me in more ways than one (all green finish, so different approach to weathering). I have just given the Thing a spray of gray ground to see if the sanding, puttying etc. isn't visible after painting and I must say that it turned out pretty well ( if you don't tickle yourself no one does ).
Still have to add the cast effect to the crew compartment and the welds still need touching up with the trusty pyrogravure so still "light years from home".
Cheers,

Thanks Manny, MgM, Ron and Tigerman, drilled and cut out the engine covers on the upper hull and added some evergreen strip for the PE covers to sit on. Blanked off the mudguards so that you don't see the tracks through the engine covers, so far so good . Problems arose with the lower hull box consisting of three very warped pieces of plastic and a rear engine bulkhead that, as far as the fit goes, would appear to have been made for a completely different kit. Have got it together thanks to the brute force of superglue, clamps, evergreen tube to strengthen the box and deft use of a varied selection of curses aimed at Zvezda . Going to have to use a lot of sanding, puttying and Mr. Surfacer to get this thing ready for spraying . Certainly not Tamiya or Dragon quality (can hardly expect that for this though). Challenging build? you bet

Back online after a holiday in Morocco. At the moment putting the finishing touches to my E-10 but have already decided what the next project will be:
The ISU 152 bought for 8 euros at a sale of Zvezda models, the 152 mm metal barrel and the metal engine covers from "der Sockelshop" in Germany and the Friuls from JB models. This is the first time I have bought a set of Friuls and I am hooked................ the weight, detail and feel of the tracks is unbelievable. Will start up thread when the build gets underway. Two weeks holiday and I seem to have missed a lot: Panthers and Jagdpanthers all over the forum and a very nice looking Challenger II I see at first quick look.
