RMweb Gold Market65 Posted May 18, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 18, 2014 Yes, Nelson, I think that I would varnish the wood, and that would be the finishing touch - it already is excellent( must remember to make one myself!). All the best Market65. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nelson Jackson Posted May 27, 2014 Author Share Posted May 27, 2014 Hello everyone, This is my recently finished Dapol coach kit which has been painted into the UTA livery, although not 100% accurate it is close enough for me as I have no carriges to run with my engines. I'm sorry for the bad cropped photos, I only took quick shots, next to come over the next number of weeks are 6 more GNRI resin kits and a NCC U2. Many thanks Nelson 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Market65 Posted May 27, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 27, 2014 Hi, Nelson, the photo's do not look that bad to me - I've posted much worse than those myself! The repaint of the carriage is very well done, with a good even and consistent finish. Looking forward to those other projects which you have mentioned about. All the best, Market65.

Spitfire2865 Posted June 22, 2014 Share Posted June 22, 2014 Anything new on the bench? Surprising its almost been a month. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nelson Jackson Posted June 23, 2014 Author Share Posted June 23, 2014 Hello spitfire, I'm ashamed to say that there's been nothing new on the bench since the UTA carriage and the reason for that is because it's just far too warm to concentrate and model although it has started to cool down lately and I've started a panzer III project, I will post pics here if people are interested? School finishes this week so i'll be back in the modelling spirit very soon. Cheers Nelson Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twright Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 I'm interested in the panzer Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nelson Jackson Posted June 25, 2014 Author Share Posted June 25, 2014 Hello everyone, Here it is, the Panzer III (3) by italeri, this is a nice simple kit, there's nothing really hard to do it but ther is a large scope for detail. Last year I built one (as seen below) and I think it turned out quite well, but now I've got another kit of the exact same model but this time I'm going to see if I've improved in any way and see if it can be better than my first one. I've modified the commanders hatch so that it is now open, and I've also added battle damage but I'll show yous that when I've painted the tank in the next update, I'm going to leave it unmarked that way if I have a plan for a diorama in the future the. I won't have to worry about incorrect markings. To go along with the tank I've got 3 German panzer crew figures and they will be painted and placed on the tank to look as if they have stopped and are talking to eachother. Last years attempt at the panzer III Modified comanders hatch. Thanks for showing interest, I know it's not something that everyone will be interested in but I promise once this is finished then It'll be back to railway modelling. Thanks for reading, Nelson 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nelson Jackson Posted June 25, 2014 Author Share Posted June 25, 2014 "Would ye not have anything from the Allied side at all?" Believe it or not I don't I've got 1 Sherman and 1 Cromwell tank in my collection of 20 or so german tanks, reason is I prefer the German armour, they were very well engineered and far more advanced and superior to anything else at the time. So apologise if your a fan of allied armour Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium jjb1970 Posted June 25, 2014 RMweb Premium Share Posted June 25, 2014 I dunno, the Soviet T34 outclassed the German tanks in service prior to the Panther in many respects and their KV was a powerful tank. And whilst the Western Allied tanks tended to be not as good they were massively better in one key respect - they could be produced in large numbers where German tank production never met demand with the result they relied more and more on self propelled guns.

Nelson Jackson Posted June 25, 2014 Author Share Posted June 25, 2014 I agree, I reckon if the Germans had produced far more weapons in a shorter time scale then today would be a different story. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Londontram Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 They should have concentrated on panzer III and IV production and not on wasting time on maybe the Panther but defiantly not the Tiger I and Tiger II and all the other derivatives. All this division of resources weakened not strengthened there tank forces Nelson don’t worry about the odd diversion I think most railway modellers have a general interest in all types of modelling and as they say variety is the spice of life.

Nelson Jackson Posted June 30, 2014 Author Share Posted June 30, 2014 Hello everyone, Here she is the completed model, it was fairly straight forward to put together, nothing to complicated. I've added some battle damage to he front of the tank. Many thanks Nelson. 12 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Market65 Posted July 1, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 1, 2014 Hi, Nelson. Great modelling of that tank. Of course, tanks were transported by rail as well, so there's another railway connection. All the best, Market65. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
