So tonight I decided to get the Somua S35 completed.
A nice French Medium tank…
Nice flowing lines etc….
Sadly I returned to this!
To be fair there are some nice flowing lines in there too…it must have popped off the bed the second I left the room. Interestingly enough. I tried again, instant failure. I decided to give another Matilda a go…
Worked fine, I went for another Char B… last time I looked at it an hour in, all systems were go.
The one that failed was front left, the ones that succeeded rear left. It could be that the front left has lost the level or that it is a bit greasy. Either way I will give it a wash and a re level tomorrow.
As can be seen from the photo above the Char B came out spot on! Below is how it came off the plate.
As with some of the other tanks the 37mm gun was a little fragile and snapped off.
So tomorrow we try the Somua again (possibly in a different place 🤔).
Well, I do see the tread in there. 🙂

It was when France went through their surrealist period of tank design 😉

You’ll get there and probably have your Somuas done before I paint the two I have!

This 3D printing sounds more like a dark art than a science sometimes….
Cheers,
