E-100 by Trumpeter

Good evening all,

After completing a 1/35 Maus last year, I’ve decided to jump in and have a “go” at Trumpeter’s E-100. I’m planning on doing it in a city setting, Berlin actually, and will incorporate some soldiers around it. I mainly want to use both the tank and the soldiers to give a sense of scale.










I didn’t make too much more progress tonight.  I’m in the fine details stage of the beast so it’s coming to a crawl now.  I was going to originally enter this in a contest set for the 21 of September, but I won’t be able to make it due to a wedding.  So, I have an entire extra year to get this guy just right and the base I’m creating for it.


Pin washing, filters and oil paint rendering will be the name of the game for the next 10 or so hours of this project.

C&C is greatly appreciated.

All the best,

Jake

Really great work

Thanks, I appreciate it!

Looking good! I love these big beasts! I'm not sure what that says about me!?  

Thanks for the kind words guys; they're really encouraging.

I made some further progress on the best tonight. Not too much, but I wanted to accent the right side a little to make it look like the crew likes to sit on that side a bit.



Have a good one!

All the best,

Jake

Good evening gents!

I made some further progress tonight.  I’d say the turret is nearly 90% done now.  I need to work on the barrel obviously, but it’s coming along.  I plan to make some further progress this week, but we’ll see how it goes.






Next up: the rear portion of the tank consisting of the exhausts and other finicky engine bits.

As always, C&C is greatly appreciated!

Good evening gents,

I made a bit more progress tonight.  I added some further white-wash splotches around the hull and deck areas.  I then went to town with pin washes, oils and some filters.  I’m getting closer to working on the wheels, engine bits and the tracks now.


As always C&C is greatly appreciated!

All the best,

Jake

Perfect work............love it............

Hey all,

It’s been a while since some updates, but I’ve made some further progress.  Tonight I went to work on the engine deck some more and also on the exhausts.


As always, C&C is appreciated.

All the best,
Jake
