                        bronco a34 comet this time with (pic's)
                        Posted by Rob on Monday, February 25, 2008 11:04 AM

                        hi all, my laters project, the bronco a34 comet.

                        the kit went together verry good, only where the upper and lower hull at the front joined needed a little gap filling putty. i painted it with tamiya nato green, al light dust coat with tamiya desert yellow, and the wheels a light coat of nato brown, i drybrushed with the tamiya makeup set.

                        i will add some fig's, but i can't decide wich ones, the resin ones are quite expensive and plasic ones, i cant find what i want. some stowage and camonetting will come with the fig's.

                        hope y'all like it.

                        Hey Robbioo, maybe it's just me, but I'm only seeing a bunch of red squares that say Mijnalbum?

                        Just picked this kit up myself...interested to see how yours turned out! Big Smile [:D]

                        Very effective use of drybrushing. Really nice and subtle weathering. Fine job.

                        I think I need this kit--I have a great picture of of column of thses moving through a town, in full color, blown up across two pages, and I've always thought it was such a cool-looking tank.

                        You built it up nicely, robbio. Enough to convince me that I need it! Nice drybrushing!

                        There is a nice scene in "Band of Brother" in the Market Garden episode when the 101st boys were moving in front of a column of Guards Shermans and Comet when they were ambushed by a tiger and I think, a jagdtiger.

                        indeed it was a cromwell, and a tiger (on a t34 chassis)

                        well the 101st knew where it was the tank driver was saying he couldn't bloody well shoot it if he bloody well cannot see it....lucky for him I think the tiger hit a sherman behind him then he put it in reverse most Rikki-TikSmile,Wink, & Grin [swg]

                        tnx everybody for the nice comments, i think this one goes to one fo my best models yet.

                         the tracks and wheels where a first for me to do in this way and i took some exampels from the other forum guys.

                        the kit tracks where black and i simply gave them a verry thinned tamiya flat earth wash to go in the downed area's next a drybrush with dust pigments.

                        the wheels, they where overall dark green or olive green, i sprayed them as new, with tamiya dark green and the tires with black. next as i dit with the entire model a coat of dust (tamiya buff) with the hull a bit more than the wheels. and next only the wheels with several light coats of tamiya nato brown and one light coat of tamiya flat earth. last a drybrush with dust to highlight the edges and bolts.

                        happy building everyone
