Re: KellerModeller's chaotic cellar
I always liked the misproportioned look of the AT-1 it looks like it should have been larger. I love weird armor like this.

You are keeping busy KM! I'm not familiar with the AT-1 - it looks rather like the Italian Semovente to me. Cool project.
The past, present, and future walked into a bar. It was tense.

Re: KellerModeller's chaotic cellar
The filling and sanding will be more efficient if I do it on two similar projects in parallel, so I started to assemble the Emhar A7V. There's lots of painting ahead when returning home..
What a great place to have a mold step
That was 1h of sanding for one side, luckily the tracks are mostly hidden anyway, so minor imperfections may remain

Re: KellerModeller's chaotic cellar
Crikey, an A7V as well! Your paintshop is going to be busy when you get back to it. The Emhar kit isn't bad as I recall - maybe a bit heavy on the rivets but that's WW1 armour for you! You can always display your cleanup work on the tracks by putting the model on it's side - the real thing toppled over quite frequently so I understand... I ought to dig my old kit out one of these days to see if it's worth doing anything with.

Good work on removing that step!

Re: KellerModeller's chaotic cellar
Yes, I also saw many pictures like this, it seems you need to shift the center of gravity when you put tracks under a medieval fortress.. I always liked the look of this tank since seeing it the first time around 1996 in a computer game (Wings of glory, a WWI fligtsim)B4en wrote: βMarch 19th, 2024, 7:00 am Crikey, an A7V as well!

Thanks, that`s a modellers workout I guess

Re: KellerModeller's chaotic cellar
Great work on some incredibly small subjects! The figures in the back of the half-track really makes it look interesting and lively.

This is it. The moment we should have trained for.

Re: KellerModeller's chaotic cellar
Thanks, yes the figures show how small the 250 in reality is. I prefer small scale subjects, this gives me the illusion that my stash might fit in a reasonable amount of display cabinets once it's finished...
Some progress on the A7V, filling and sanding still missing. A medieval castle on tracks...

Re: KellerModeller's chaotic cellar
Very cool A7V. A lot of Lucious rivet detail to bring out with a coat of paint and a wash! Kind of reminds me an old caboose! They were not thinking low profile when they came up with this design!

Re: KellerModeller's chaotic cellar
Now I'm back home, medical leave successfully finished. I have built so many tanks during my leave that now I want to build an aircraft instead of finishing what I started .
But the tanks will be finished later.
Now I want to finish a Revell F-16 that was started in the late 90's by around 15 year old KM. I did not finish it at that time due to lack of airbrush colour and masking tape,I was planning to do the prototype scheme.
I really like the look of IAF camo and wanted to have a modern IAF model in my display cabinet, so I decided to finish the F-16 as F-16A "Netz" in IAF service. On AliExpress I found a cheap decal sheet for IAF F-16Cs, but without any stencils. I will also be able to use it to create a F-16A, using the kit stencils, I hope.
It is so old, the glue has yellowed...
Next to it is a F-16 wreck that donated the more modern fuel tank, which currently has it's colour removed.
The landing gear is repaired using plastic rod material:
... and that's it for the moment....

Re: KellerModeller's chaotic cellar
Yes, nothing serious, only "maintenance", everything closed/passed successfully .
Was lucky enough to have a single room where I could do some modelling (all tank pics above with a wood desk, 250 to A7V), but no airbrushing or painting of course, only minor assembly works

Re: KellerModeller's chaotic cellar
Cockpit completed (no complete rebuild, only assembling what 15yo KM prepared), airbrakes & engine nozzle assembled, drop tank ready for rework.
Next step is canopy masking, the old Revell Tool does not have a lot (means: no) of engraved lines as guidance and also major gaps...
But still better than being forced to use a vacu canopy that will yellow between two times looking at the model
