Trumpeter 1/35 E-100

Post by garywintin »

Right ... so I got a new finished kit to show. Unfortunately, this is one of my worst finished kit to date. Coming in second after my failure of a Tiger I, this is one of those build that I just had to call it '' finished '' and just move on.

I do not love what I did on this kit, not one bit. I see this as a failure but this served as a very valuable learning curve. I shouldn't even be letting the readers see this failure but I figure I should show this just so people can read about the bumps I faced so that they do not do the same mistakes I did and feel disheartened and throw away their kits ( I almost did ).

I made very poor paint works, had to strip 3 times and paint 4 times on this, I did some really frustating boo-boos with the pigments and the commanders scopes are horrible.

I had a fun time putting on the extra stowage on the deck and the rust effects on the spare tracks. Those are the only satisfactory outcome from this build. The colours used were Tamiya dark yellow, olive green and red brown. Vallejo german grey was used on the wheels and chassis. MIG pigments were used for the dusts. The rust was done with Vellejo panzer aces rust and oil paints. The tarp was made from kitchen foil.

It's too long to write the whole story so you can check out the whole bumps I faced with the build and many more pictures on my blog -

awesome model, well done mate :) this one has a cool camo on it, paper panzers offer you a lot of possible ways to go crazy on the camo scheme. i have to build one of those too one day.

Thank you to hear such awesome compliment from you Herr Barkas.. I was not happy with this build but glad to know you like it. You really should try more paper panzer. IT would awesome to see you work on them.

Thanks sir. The rust effects were the best to come out of this build. I really love how they look. Thank you for following my works.
