Ardennes was shortly after, so it's entirely possible all existing ones got scraped. There was concern that the material would catch fire if it got shot by something else so it wouldn't surprise me if it got filed/sanded/scraped off.MEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08086901374821838288noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7817710432110712270.post-5863404453837337532015-06-28T12:16:17.863-04:002015-06-28T12:16:17.863-04:00Cheers!

If memory serves the 40k kits had a long one for the top of the tracks, a shorter one for the bottom, and 6 (one small, two really small per bend) parts. On some of them it's too few, and you end up with a 45 degree bend right around the road wheel. Smaller pieces would be higher resolution, but that could be super fiddly for sure.<br /><br />MEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08086901374821838288noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7817710432110712270.post-90915461071890807672015-06-28T09:25:43.042-04:002015-06-28T09:25:43.042-04:00If I could find a snow-camo one from the Ardennes ...If I could find a snow-camo one from the Ardennes with Zimmerit, I might just go for snow!

The Elephant I pulled out of the pile needs 7 individual links just to get around the front wheel, and a half dozen larger sections. Probably looks great if you don't slop on too much glue and put them in wrong . . . but that's where my skill level is at.<br /><br />I liked your <a href="http://chainlinkandconcrete.blogspot.com/2015/06/a-stroll-down-miniatures-memory-lane.html" rel="nofollow">massive minis post</a>, too.Peter Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14246000382321978462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7817710432110712270.post-69956115379952842262015-06-28T00:22:01.040-04:002015-06-28T00:22:01.040-04:00For the paint job I'd go with woodland camo, u...For the paint job I'd go with woodland camo, unless you've got an Afrika Korps thing going on... http://www.ww2incolor.com/d/201946-4/Tiger+IIGreyhawk Grognardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13929743865700766901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7817710432110712270.post-44428065902514604962015-06-27T21:57:44.061-04:002015-06-27T21:57:44.061-04:00Well done!

When I played Warhammer 40k, I think exactly one vehicle did it right, as did the Rhino from my recent miniatures post.<br /><br />I've a tank myself in the miniatures pipeline when I find some time (15mm, surprise surprise), but I'm fortunate in that at this scale tracks are cast in place.<br /><br />Looking forward to seeing yours painted!<br /><br />Cheers!MEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08086901374821838288noreply@blogger.com
