Urgh, we switch houses every Monday, and I left all the brushes behind >.< The small box of paints comes with a brush, but it's thoroughly shitty.

That's nicely done, Dante.
However, as for the looks of the tank itself, I like it better when it hasn't got the add-on armour.

Nice work, I'd love to build that tank.

Thanks everyone! Really appreciate it.
Both Hobby Boss and Tamiya have the later T26 E4 Super Pershing. (Though the kit for mine is still called "E4" when it's "E1" or "E1-1")
...And hopefully this kit will arrive soon. :3

One question, how do I do track-droop with rubber-band tracks? The kit has very loose tracks, so they're obviously supposed to droop...

You can sew them down with dark sewing thread or glue them to the tops of the wheels.

Oh, I can glue them to wheels, but how can I make them droop like this? It's the Testors IS-2.

That's Steve Zaloga LOL I'm betting he used metal tracks on that one. The thread technique is your best bet Coug. Loop dark thread through a couple of the inside holes in the top tread that you want to sag. Then loop one side through the space between the road wheels and hook the axel and pull both ends until the tread sags the way you want and tie it off. It's tricky at first but you'll get it. Maybe Chris can describe it better or has a better way to do it.
