MK I "male" British tank

Alan Rush
Very nice little scene Mike 👍 I have been hearing good things about the Master Box kit and it seems to be true from your experience. Are the tracks simply rubber band style? Your detailing and weathering really bring the 1/72 kit to life. 🙂

Choppa Nutta
really nice build Mike 🙂

Mike Kryza autor
Thx Alan - the tracks are simply rubber bands and it need a lot of time to trim them. The pics are not good enough, the weathering is nearly invisible... 🙁

Jonns Pfeiffenberger
Looks very good..in 1:72 😉 Das du das überhaupt noch gesehen hast! 👍 👍 😉

Christian Meyerhoff
Ha! Mike is discovering the only true scale! Klasse Arbeit mein Gudster! 😉

Mike Kryza autor
Thank you Choppa.
@Jonns - Du Schelm, but I have used my very big lenses... 😉
@Christian - Danke - aber das soll nicht zur Gewohnheit werden...;)

Christian Meyerhoff
Warum nicht? Das sieht doch vlel versprechend aus!

Choppa Nutta
this is a total guess at translation 😄

"Why not? This is what we all speak of !" - ta da ! 😄

I am either completely right or totally wrong 🙂

Mike Kryza autor
🙂🙂🙂 - Btw - one of my other hobbies (together with my wife too) is working on our modelrailway in scale 1:160... 😉 ...and the day has only 24 hours! But it could be possible to make another trip in 1:72!

Choppa Nutta
do it ! 🙂
and get a little micro RC heli and re-enact your favourite movie sequences 😄
btw how was my translation ?
still can't figure out what you said Mike 🙂

Christian Meyerhoff
Na geht doch!
@Choppa: If You would know Mike you could be sure that there will be another 1:72 model.
Mike and his wife Marina are living for modelling!

Choppa Nutta
one can tell, they are definitely getting the hang of it 😄

Mike Kryza autor
Analogously it means I have too much hobbies 🙂 - Oh and I made some years ago a trip in the RC-world. It was a Heng Long Tiger I, totally rebuild... ...and now it's a dust collector. 🙂🙂🙂

Christian Meyerhoff
Well, Choppa is it always a pleassure to meet them both.
Take a look at this link: igamf.wordpress.com/
You will find a lot of nice models made by Mike and Marina and their Mates joining the same club in southern Germany.

Joerg R.
Sieht sehr lecker aus Mike 🙂🙂🙂

Mike Kryza autor
Merci - schmeckt aber nicht so gut! 🙂

Acki
Surprise Mike! Very good.

Ulf Petersen
The model and the display are fantastic 👍 but the scene itself misses a figure to bring life into it.

Mike Kryza autor
Thank you mates.
Hi Acki, I was surprised by myself too - 😉;);)
Ulf, yes indeed - you're right with the figures, but I have not one in my stash.

George Bacon
Wow! Hard to believe it's 1/72. Well done 👍

Mike Kryza autor
Hi George - thx - it was a relaxed glueing(?) Try it - it's a kit for in between.

Choppa Nutta
it is nice to see more WW1 coming to the fore
and yes I thought this was 1:35 at first Mike 🙂
You'll have to get Marina to do some figures for you 😉

Mike Kryza autor
Yes, indeed. I'm waiting for the upcoming Skoda Howitzer realized by Takom. And for some lorries... Let's see!

Burkhard D
That's 1/72? Way cool! 😎

Christian Meyerhoff
Well Mike, the Skoda Mortar is on my wishlist as well. As far as I know this one was used in both worldwars.

Mike Kryza autor
@Burkhard - it's really 1:72... 🙂
@Christian - You're right. I think this will be a very interesting kit. Den werde ich dann sicher zwischendurch bauen... 😉

Christian Meyerhoff
Ich denke das wird schon! 😉

Mike Kryza autor
Vielleicht auf W'ooge?!!

Christian Meyerhoff
Klar, wenn der Bausatz dann verfügbar ist wäre es ein schönes Projekt.

Mike Kryza autor
...und somit üben wir uns in Geduld...

Kim Branders
I'm bussy on the same kit, you did a hell of a job. I did you make the underground??

Holger Kranich
Jo mei, wos seh i denn hier? 1:72? WWI? Mike, you didnt took your pills, ha? But leave them away, this male tank looks awesome to me!😄;)

Vjekoslav Ranec
Very nice

Mike Kryza autor
Thx a lot mates...

Mike Kryza autor
Ahhh... somtimes it works... (I've got always the message "invalid request" - crazy)
@Holger: des hoast net "hier" sondern "do". And I take my pills all day... 😉🙂🙂🙂

Mike Kryza autor
@Kim - Making the dio is easy. (Hope I find the right words in englsih)
The ground is a styrodur or styrene panel. The first layer is realized with a structure paste (fine) from a "hobbymarket".
At first I modeled a little "landscape" followed by a layer of quartz sand and pigments. In this mixture I pressed the tank, protected the tracks with a foil. Next step is the painting.
Let it dry. Then I glued the tank and added some more sand.
For glueing sand, pigmente and so on I used always Scenic Cement (Woodland, under distribution from NOCH).
A little wash and drybrushing follows... ...and that's all. Greetings Mike

Holger Kranich
Aber desch is doch hier und net do!? 😉

Mike Kryza autor
No - hier is scho do! 🙂 deraweil hier do is - 🙂 Zeit für meine Pillen 😉
