I'm glad I finally took a look at this one, this is neat. Looks like a neat kit, and the build is progressing very nicely too.

Luigi - Thank you Sir!! Glad to have you hanging in there on this one!!! Steve - I had a 50/50 chance you would swing by (Russian)!! I am thinking you need to break one out!! Save the others for the space thing! Let me know on that one....I have a Merk turret crying out for some legs!!! Matt - Thank you!! Appreciate it!! I'll try and not disappoint!! Gary - Thanks Brotha'!! There is room on this one...just trying to see where to draw the line! Has to be soon as I am going through some painting withdrawals!! Dicky - Thank you my good man!! LOL...I will remove the sprue webs soon my friend!! Was just "keeping it together" (more ways than one)for the moment!! Hey, it's modern...and it's a Trumpy...2/3 the way to a decent build!! Now if you were hacking this maybe....  Boss - Thanks Bro!! 3 letters coming together....F.U.N.!! Russ - I appreciate the kind words as well as you swinging by for a gander!! Finally the house quieted down...came home to a house full of females!! Now normally this would not be an issue, with the exception that the majority were around 16 and louder than a pack of wild dogs in a meat pool!! Oh My!! Anyway, a little quiet dinner and then a push on the upper hull!! If the rain holds out for tomorrow, there just might be some paint flying!!! Thanks again folks!!

Fantastic work on the rear doors! WIRINGS TOO! Of course don't forget to add a bottle of vodka... believe all BMPs come with those.

Thank you gents!! Appreciate the comments and the hanging about!! Makes the work that much more enjoyable!! Well....I am just about there! Managed to get about 98% of the build ready for paint. I have 6 to 10 parts that have to wait to be installed after the upper hull goes in...which means painting the entire inside, assemble and then I am good to go!! Here is a pile of stuff waiting for some primer.....  The topside watertight doors needed a little love like the rear doors   The upper hull still need some welds added, which will be started tonight. With any luck I might just get it done too!!  The barrels on the MG's were a bit plain. I could have just drilled them out and it would have worked. I then decided to just make the brass barrel and insert it when I F'ed up one of them so a little chopping needed to be done...I think they will work.   I can finally see the light on this one!! If the welds get done, then priming tomorrow night is possible. Then a whole bunch of interior painting and some weathering, close the puppy up and I will be good to go on the exterior!! As always, thanks for dropping in!!! |

Sharp work on the details T, that's a lot of stuff needing paint...better be careful when promising primer/paint around here...remember the vultures! |

ER - Thank buddy, always great to have you along for the ride!! Dan - Thanks!! LOL...enough primer.....There is something I will never run out of!! Luigi!! Thanks again! Not sure about magic....maybe a little balloon art!! Dicky - I hear you there Brotha'!! Detail painting at that! Never realized the number of colors inside these things!! OD, Black, red/orange, white, creme.............  Chris - Thanks!! Yeah, a bit of camo. Figure the more I do it, maybe I will get one right !! LOL!!! Cornered the market on the cocktail sticks (sounds ritzier than toothpicks) Wife thinks I snack on them!! LOL!! Leon - Thank you!! The one thing I loved about this one was all the bolts on the armor!! Weathering fun!! Boss - LOL...didn't miss too much...Irish model...Box O'parts!!  Like you, I am plagued with the overly damp weather. Even with the dehumidifier it's best to wait!!  |
