Whoa awesome! Definitely going to watch this one evolve... It's great fun watching tons of scratchbuilding🙂

I made that MG myself, first time I created one myself

I'm starting to miss having access to a lathe😄

The barrel looks really good mate. I like the patches of surface structure as well!

the barrel has not been done with a lathe.

😄
Even better than, it certainly is well made. 🙂

brass tubes inserted on each other, and the "mouth" made wider with the right tool?

Mark Farrugia Forfatter
yes Spanjard, I wish I could do precise holes too but its hard with a 0.3mm drill

Hister Farjas
sir, how did you make the rivetts?

7 June 2018, 18:38

Mark Farrugia Forfatter
those are hexagon heads not rivets and I made them with RP tools hexagon punches

Rene Scheiblich
Quite nice how you tackled the MG barrel.
For small holes I usually punch a small dent with a small very pointy, hardened needle before drilling. This way even a 0.15mm drill won't slip off. 👍

Mark Farrugia Forfatter
Yes I normally do too, but since its a very small tube 0.8mm it slips off my fingers and turns sideways then the drill slips off it and I'm afraid to place the tube in a vice because it flattens.

When working with very small parts in a vise, I use PTFE sheet or pieces of Silicone to protect the parts. But I honestly haven't tried if it still flattens such delicate tubes.

First signs? That exhaust looks lovely!
May I ask how you did the bent fenders? 🙂

5 September 2018, 15:20

Mark Farrugia Forfatter
Yes first signs cause I did not yet make filter nor pinwash, just weathered the exhaust. The fenders just chew them 😄

5 September 2018, 18:33

Rene Scheiblich
They actually do look a bit as if chewed on now that you mention it 😛 lol
Wondering how it will turn out after washes and filter. I suspect all the scratchbuilding will not only have taken time, but it will also take a few breaths🙂

almost a pitty to paint all that scratchbuild detail.... paint looks really good by the way.

14 September 2018, 22:58

Mark Farrugia Forfatter
Yes its a pitty but I cannot leave it unpainted,at least I took photos of the process

Very nice, impressive 👍

Mark Farrugia Forfatter
I had to start over again, painting the side skirts (Schürzen skirts) because I ruined them on the weathering process

Simply fantastic workmanship with metal! Just wonderful👍

splendid... superb... etc... camouflage is very nicely done, build and weathering too... what more can be said?

19 December 2018, 11:51

Mark Farrugia Forfatter
Thanks, trying every time to go a step further

19 December 2018, 14:15

Rene Scheiblich
That was a good step further. I'm sort of envious mate 🙂

Thomas Wirsching
A very well balanced camouflage - one of the most realistic I´ve seen during the last time. Compliments!

Thanks once more, it seems though that I need to push my modelling skills much further becasue on my last competition I got nothing for this model in the standard open category. ( I only got a bronze for the Hellcat)

You can also see a 360 of this model here ( not on the base though) markscalemodels.sirv..PZIV360/PZIV360.spin
