Taigen T-34

[761st]

Thanks for the paint advice guys. The rain and humidity have been a problem for painting. Now the hurricane throws a wrench. I look forward to some booth time.

A lot of turning work, but now everything is smooth.

I used the Archer transfers on mine... If you use more than one bottle of that paint, you are probably spraying it on way too thick. I used one dropper bottle of the Mig 4BO on mine.

Roger that. Standard practice for me anyway, is several light coats. These are 30ml bottles, so I'm playing it safe. This paint is incredibly hard to get and shipping cost was more than the paint so I ordered accordingly. This paint does not get thinned down either.

I appreciate the T34 Pic, as one cannot have enough inspiration and ideas-looking good.

About the only thing left for me to track down is a 1/16 Russian Commander. Any thoughts?

Don't you just love the Hakko soldering station's !

Careful. That's from a Russian source (*.ru). You may not get them! One Russian eBay supplier I've bought from now refuses to send to the US.

[Zippersnapper]

Indeed Bob...I'll be getting from a US supplier for sure.

Thanks brother! Already had a roof leak. Not fun securing a tarp in pouring rain and wind. I just hope we don't lose power. After this passes, I am going to go get some Jack

Oh, I understand ordering in bulk to save shipping and time if things are not available locally. I would've done the same, but I also have A LOT of Russian armor so I can never have too much 4BO. :)

I do love my Hakko soldering station. It heats up in like 30 seconds and the adjustable temp is great. Not sure why I waited so long to buy it.

I've bought from Spraygunner.com before and they were good to deal with.

This is a Chinese seller.

I can see why Martin loves this paint. Man does it lay down nice. 4 light coats, 2.5 bottles used. This is one good looking 4B0.

Looks amazing!

Thank you my friend.

Back from my trip to Washington state and it does look really nice.

I was born in Renton. The Pacific North West is God's country.

My mother is in Graham. It was a beautiful drive up there. I've now been to all the states west of the Mississippi (except Alaska) as I drove through CO, WY, UT, MT, ID, NM, OR and Washington on this trip.

[Zippersnapper]

Nice. I lived in Littleton Colorado for a year. That was fantastic as well..I love mountrains, hiked a few in my younger days. Here in Texas there are no mountains per say. just bluffs..so it sux big time.

I used to live in Liberty Hill, TX and now in Elgin, TX. It was a 2100+ mile trip up there and I came home with a truck load of stuff. Trying to help her loosen her load of stuff. My full sized truck load packed to the top of my camper top barely made a dent in all the stuff her recently deceased sig other gathered over the years.

The trip home I went through Montana down to Wyoming so I could stop at that new tank museum in Dubois, WY. It was very nicely setup. I think they had well over 200 military vehicles there to include a Hetzer and a PZ3.
