Panzer Kapputt !!! - The Finale

So I finally finished it! A long trip really, but I'm very happy with the results and will certainly do more destroyed tanks in the near future. Since the last posting on this model, all that was missing were the tracks and a scenic base, because the destroyed tank would look somewhat out of place among my other models without it. The tracks are link-by-link tracks from an old Dragon leftover project. They tested my patience to the limit as each link had two knock-out pin marks on the inner face that had to be filed off for better appearance. The patience test continued during the assembly and the painting as well as the links had poor fit and wouldn't stay glued together during the painting and weathering process. The scenic base was made from a Ferrero Rocher plastic container, pieces of  foamboard framed with plastic plate around it. Real dirt, mixed with white glue and black and brown acrilic paint was used to do the groundwork on top of a layer of car filler. Painting was all carried out with Tamiya acrilics and the soot and ash added with pastel chalks.
Bom, finalmente acabei! foi uma longa viagem mas curti muito o resultado e podem estar certos que vou fazer mais tanques destruidos futuramente. Desde o meu ultimo post desse modelo, faltavam as esteiras e fazer uma base ou vinheta. Isso é necessario porque o modelo sozinho, todo destruido, ficaria meio perdido no meio da minha coleção sem uma base. As esteiras são as antigas da Dragon e tem um belo par de marcas de pino extrator na face interna de cada elo. Colar e pintar as esteiras montadas foi um teste de paciencia adicional pois elas nao tem boa "pega" e se decompunham o tempo todo, o que so foi resolvido depois de colar tudo na base. A base mesmo foi feita com uma tampa de embalagem de bombons Ferrero Rocher sobre a qual foram colados pedaços de styrofoam cobertos de massa plastica. Terra bem fina misturada com cola branca e tinta acrilica preta foi aplicada no terreno todo, sobre o qual o modelo foi então colado. A pintura foi toda feita com acrilicas da Tamiya e as manchas de foligem e cinzas foram adicionadas com giz pastel
