May I present the Vickers A1E1 Independent

Keith · « **Reply #61 on:** February 26, 2019, 08:02:40 PM »

That’s lovely. I think I need one of these!

Rich H · « **Reply #62 on:** February 26, 2019, 08:12:09 PM »

Thanks
Its got a couple of minor issues but nothing significant

Next question is colour.
I'm tempted to paint it gloss bronze green like bovington.

Totally agree (although I’d probably go for a satin finish for scale)

Thats looking propper.
On the subject of colour I'd go with a lighter shade of green more in the darker Olive drab I use one of the GW colours(with my recent track record with name's I'll modify my answer with its name, once I've gone to my workshop tomorrow

) it gives a similar luster to the original. But is several shades lighter than the Bronze green of the original. But the lighter tone will show off your detailing to a greater extent.Whilst looking very similar to the original colours at scale.
The most valuable piece of artistic advice I've ever been given for display work (and it really does work) in life things appear darker the further away they are . If you reverse the principle and apply to scale .Then you'll achive a greater level of realism.
(Same colour on both vehicles only difference being natural light on the command and energy efficient warm glow on the other.)

Undercoated

Wow!

Most impressive Rich! Fair to say that looks like an improvement on the HLBSC/ Copplestone/ Empress version in terms of detail. This computery-magicky thing seems to be work well with you.

Glad you showed the undercoated version. I was going to ask if the original print was in need of a good dandruff control shampoo.

Plan is to make the STL file avaialble via wargaming3d.com for a small fee (to keep me in resin and teabags.) so you can all print your own fleet of them.

Shame you drink a lot of tea...

Then I guess I won't own this or the Grosstraktor since I don't have a printer:-(
