No too bad Luigi! The instruction have a drawn to scale picture of the tracks. They appeared to be on link off in the picture. Assembeled well but if someone is building this, they would want to consider working out a plan of attack on the connection point of the tracks for when they are installed. Tight fit near the rear and the lowere end might need to be painted first, then tracks painted and installed, then install the side fenders. Nothing impossible with T lol Ummm...not always the case there ER!!! LOL!!! |

LOL...ER!!! Not sure what to tell you buddy!! Roll with it!! As long as you can stop the bleeding before you pass out, you're good!!
Thanks Iking!!!
Didn't get much in the ways of pics last night but did manage to progress with the rest of the interior parts and some exterior on the turret. Tonight the upper hull then some little add-on thing; wiring and whatnot. Should be goot to color after that!

Hi Joe! Thanks!! Not really sneaking...LOL...kind of like opportunity arose sort of thing!! Minor update again. Most, if not all of the interior parts are ready for a coat of something. I worked the exterior turret and this is pretty much ready. I have the barrels together and I am smoothing things out. I wanted to go with the metal AM, but don't feel too much like waiting for this part. If the barrel end up funky looking, yeah, that will be the route next.   I managed to get the tracks all situated. They look a bit wonky in this picture as they are in two sections for the shot.  So, with any luck I will get some primer down at some point. While this dries, I will work the upper hull and get this all ready for some color soon. Thanks for tuning in!! |

Yeah Paul, not going to over the top on chipping but dirt and dust is not off the table!!!
LOL...you did hear that Luigi...just not this second!! I still need to finish a couple of small things for the exterior. Depends on the ambition tonight, might prime the interior and make an assessment!!
Thanks Dicky! The tracks weren't too bad as tracks go. Some things to remember next time I encounter these...I did say next time didn't I? Trying to straighten the desk out and shut the puter off for a bit and then I am off and running I think!!!

Very nice progress T, looking forward to seeing it with paint on when you get to it. You have to remember that the word 'paint' is like a dog whistle around here...once you mention it, no one reads anything else after it! |

Well...that was special!! I just typed up something, turned around and it all just went bye bye...LOL!! Oh well!! Take two!! Thanks for stopping in Boss!! I am trying to get to that point!!! You know...best part and all!! Thank G!!! Camo of course!! (mumble mumble....hate doing camo....LOL!!) Not really that bad I guess!! OK...tiny update!! Managed to work some details onto the rear doors! Nothing too special, just something to show they are, well, doors!  A quick dry fit let's me know that things line up...good thing, cause I forgot to actually measure!! LOL!!  I think the turret is all set for the moment. I added a couple of details to liven this up a bit. Think it's coming along OK for the moment.   I have all of the interior items prepped for painting including the pea-shooter. I just need the lower interior section to be painted first before installation. I wish the breach had a bit more detail. Took a quick look last night for some credible pics of the 100mm beach...but nothing! Will look quickly tonight. If nothing, oh well, as this is barely seen even if the two hatches are left open. That's that for the moment. working my way up to a painting session soon...I hope!! Thanks for tuning in!! |
