My bronze Panzer tank story continues. I had much success, but sadly a failure, too. If you want to sympathize with me, read on … When I posted my last update I mentioned that I had decided to cast directly from the polystyrene plastic model to reduce cost. This means that I will get better […]
My quest to produce a bronze tank for my 1:35 scale Girls und Panzer castings has begun. I have started to assemble the Tamiya plastic model kit previously purchased, see below.
