Now that's some nice detail they've added...not only different casting/foundry marks but als in different positions on the three piece housing! Sweet!

Hey Hey Hey Birds eye view: Working toward the same view: Not as many parts as the Bronco 25pdr. DML molded three or four parts into one assembly, still looks pretty good though. The End Checking the fit of the rear deck and side armor plates with the attachment points on the sponsons i've detected some warp in the lower hull, not much but it's going to take some friendly persuasion for all to line up. It's Friday boys and girls Tony lee

Yo Tony, I am hoping this is lens barrel distortion but in you bottom photo the storage boxes (?) at the back look like they're canted out from the top.XXXXXXXXXXXXXX OK, I could have just not posted this at all to not look like an ultra maroon... any Bugs Bunny fans outthere?... but I wnet back and looked atthe photo again and read your comment and relaized you alreayd saw that. I'll be quiet now

Nice work on the gun and interior Tony, shame about that lower hull persuasion but I bet once you give it a stern talking to and apply appropriate pressure it will get in line just fine.

We've already had a talk Tex but I think she had other things on her mind and didn't pay much attention. Cheers Tony lee

Looks like you had a great bench time today! Looking real good as usual! Now you made me curious what have you done inside the muzzle? I spot red ink or paint something like that...

Hey Andy that's auto body spot putty I use as filler. I fill the cracks just before I call it a day and sand it off the next morning. Dries pretty fast and sands really easy not to mention it's cheap too.

Howdy After working for hours cutting, sanding, pushing, pulling and clamping trying to get all the different parts front to back to play nice together it's as close as I can get it which suits me just fine. ;D Half times over, later folks Tony lee

Tony , looks like dml has uped their game when it comes to the detail they are putting into their kits .at least since the last one i looked at closely . I was going to ask this question before but put it off . How do you get the roadwheels on the axles ? It looks like the bogies are all buttoned up . ;D

Post by tonylee on Jan 13, 2013 19:20:37 GMT -5
How do you get the wheels on if you glue the boogies together? After everything is painted I slip the wheels over those little stub axles I left after cutting the centers out. This little trick makes it a lot easier to paint everything. Now you know the rest of the story Tony lee

I know it's likely because the synapses ain't firing like they used to but the 1st thought in my head when I saw this pic was the guy with his hands on his hips saying, " OK... who took a dump in the corner?" And you're right, I would miss you, so just don't go anywhere ;D

Nice job on the persuasion there Tony, and Marc's 'thought bubble' for the figures had me cleaning water off my keyboard. ;D
