Thank you fellas!! Mighty fine of you all to hang out for a bit on this one!! Sorry for the delay on the comment...just got back a little while ago from the BayCon show and was having some family time!!! Once I get all the junk put away I will clean up and get back to working this one!!! Wouts....I doubt it buddy!! You have not seen me try to assemble the ball armor yet!!!  Dicky - Yeah, like just about everything there are a few shortcomings...on the move and moving forward, just where I want to be!!! ;D |

OK, throwing a couple pics of where this is at....  Tracks have been fit. I still need to clean up the wheels, but getting here stance!!  Dry fit of the topside!!  The PE sheet I have call for all the handles/tie downs to be cut off and of course to be PE replaced. THis will take a little time. I may clean the existing parts off and before adding the PE, I will apply some anti-skid to the tops. This will eliminate masking these PE parts!! Thanks for checking up on me guys!! |

ER -Thanks!! I had most of the tracks constructed prior to starting and only needed to fit and add links.
Alex - Thank you!! I can;'t wait to see you have at yours too!! I would suggest if someone was to get one of these to go for the up-armor version with the balls and chains. This was a package deal from a show, so the new tracks, PE (coming soon) and wheels and turret was a bonus. I did find a set of the Ball armor for $12USD and free shipping!! Well worth it I think!
Spud - Thank you sir!! Appreciate it!!

Thanks Alex, I will have to check out the Legend kit too!!! If I end up liking this one, I may want to have a go at the MKIV...or even the V if they come out with one soon!! ;D Thank you JT!! Glad to have you stop by for a spell!!! Now I just need to get off the computer and build something!! |

LOL..I wouldn't expect this any time soon. A concept from a while back popped up in me picture trolling for the MK2.. I am thinking that designs change as well as concepts...but certainly with you knowledge of the modern world of armor, I think you could scratch one of these up nicely and maybe even improve on it!! |

Thanks Wouts!! LOL...still in a good place to rip into the L/70 ya know!! LOL!! Bastard!! ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
Thanks Steve!! I agree, if I can get one done without spending the extra dough, I will. Unfortunately they are easy to work with and give a nice representation. Places like RedFrog Hobbies carry these for shorter money than most...$30-$40USD (average). Other options are Evil-bay but that is pick and choose. Luckily, these came in the kit...everything on the first post was $40USD!! I don't care what it is, it don;t stay on the shelf at that price! ;D

LOl...No Wouts!!! ..............not yet  Nice try ER....THis might be as close as I will get to that...otherwise I will punch some holes in her and burn her out!!!  Hell Alex!! Great minds my friend!!! LOL!! I know this piece , the builders name is Juy and he has some amazing works...check out his blog: juy-modelling.blogspot.com/This is another of his fine works:  Yeah Dicky....it does look sweet!! LOL!!! Talented individual. Dicky....I can tell you I can't wait to see you have at the Nemo 1, whatever the version!! I like the thought behind the MK5 but I think that there is always the call for the MBT and turret-less beast will not end up on the top of my hit parade!! ;D |

Thanks Boss....  I updated the tracks on the previous page. Now I am getting ready to remove all the tie-down rings and handle on the upper hull!! Then some anti-skid!! Thanks ER!! Thinking Dicky will do just fine with which ever his choices for the upcoming year....would love to see him let loose though and rip into a Steampunk type whimsical build!! Yes Sir!! |
