Above is where I am after cutting back the sculpting putty I applied last time. I realized I made a mistake judging the rake of the front glacis, which you can see below.
It left the model looking a bit of a mess.
I also had to realign the left hand rear track casting, because the body wasn't level. This was probably down to me when I assembled the model not being careful enough when gluing the castings together.
This setback was a bit disheartening, and made me remember why I put the project aside ten years ago.
And below is the re-profiled front. As I now compare this with my pictures, I realize that I've missed the narrowing of the front glacis at the peak where it meets the base of the tower.
After the epoxy putty has hardened overnight I will adjust this tomorrow.

You are clearly making definite progress!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Paul. I've also seen another area where I misread the angles of the plates, which I wouldn't have noticed if it weren't for Keith Falk sending me pictures of his refurbished models with measurement to work from.
DeleteReally phenomenal work on these!!
ReplyDeleteThank you. I'm pushing the boat out on this conversion.
DeleteThe process is the fun part. :-) Keeps improving. It’s going to be a unique mini when finished.
ReplyDeleteI'm going to paint it in the same scheme as my Mark 4.
DeleteNice!
