My first model is done!

Hi,

I've completed my first model, with one exception, and that is the tracks.
I lost a few pieces of the tracks supplied with the kit, so I used some rubber tracks that I found in my stash. And I haven't painted or fixed them since my longterm plan is to replace the tracks. If I just leave the tracks as they are I will soon be so annoyed with watching it on the shelf with that setup that I'll force myself to replace them.

I can see that the colors I've used doesn't match that good, the color difference is too huge and a bit sharp.

i think its not bad at all for a first model. well done.

well done Tiny, what I suggest just add a bit of dusting on the upper deck and roof and will be spot on ... Prosit Tiny!

Hi Tiny

Good to hear from you again and congrats for your finished model.

Now on to the next one my friend. Keep us posted with your progress and keep persevering.

Best wishes from all the lads here in Malta.

Well done Joseph

Thanks for all the comments! And yes, it could use some touchups but I took the decition that if I don't mark it finished then I'll never finish a model!
It's on the shelf and awaiting more touchups in a year or two!

I brought the model to the local IPMS club here in Sweden and I got the feeling that when they say "Well done", they just say it to be nice.
But when you guys comment my build you're never afraid to say "It looks good, but you could have done this or that better" .. That's why I value your comments much higher then my fellow Swedes.

back on the road of recovery......we will make a Swede/Maltese corsair out of you yet lol

Wish my first model was this good!

Just my 2c worth of advice I would have gone for a starker pin wash...but just my personal opinion here...

Keep it up on with the next build!!
