[Deleted]

Ohhhhhh yeeeeeeeeeeh!

[afvfan]

Starting to come together there, T. My, that wash certainly did darken it up (or is that just that picture?).

[TRM]

Thanks for hanging in ther Bill...alas, I did not get to the picture side of things tonight!! ....I did get the tracks on eventually!!

Appreciate it Bruce!!

Thanks Bob! The wash did darken thing a little and oddly the first pic does look darker than the second... Could be the position of the lights. Will have a look-c when I get back down there tomorrow!!

[Tojo72]

weathering looks great,looking forward to some more.

[modelfreak72]

Very nice sir! I will say no more until later! LOL!!!

[TRM]

WOW, I missed you back a couple days there Tojo...sorry 'bout that..LOL!! Thank you sir! Looks like things got busy here on site and this got shoved back a couple pages!!

Thanks Pete!! Understandable!!


OK...again with the tiny updates..but it is, what it is!!

Here she is with some legs on here....





There was a quick wash in there somewhere....onto figuring out she will lie. Was thinking this....



Nothing too over the top...simple and sweet for the short and small!!

Thanks for playing along for a bit!!

[deafpanzer]

I am really digging this little tank but with big wheels and track!!! I think I want to add it to my wish list. Great idea about the base going over the top!!!

[TRM]

Thanks Andy!! It helps that you like the thought on this...was back and forth on a couple things...I think I can make this work!

[deafpanzer]

Just a suggestion... add a figure. It will show how tiny this tank is!!! You know how much I love doing figures, right? LOL

[TRM]

How much you like them? LOL!! I actually just made 5 up to finish out something for something else I think I might be able to sneak on in!!

[wbill76]

Looking lovely with its shoes on T. Making it hard for me to resist picking one of these up!

[bigjohn]

AWESOME!!!!!! Love the idea for the groundwork too!!

[afvfan]

I'm actually wanting to pick up one of these just so I can say I did a "proper" one!

[TRM]

Thanks Bill! Would be a nice quick one for you to do!! LOL!!

Thanks BJ!! Its growing on me now!!

LOL...nice Bob!! You won't be disappointed I think!! You could have a go at that camo scheme again??

[Deleted]

looking very smart, you know that I like small vehicles and this one is right up my street!

[modelfreak72]

Now we're talkin! Tracks on and a little dio action going on! Sweet!!

[TRM]

Hey Pete and..errr...Pete!! Thanks guys, really appreciate you hanging out on this one!

Snipe-Pete...definitely up your ally!! QUick and dirty build but enough surface to have some fun!!

MF Pete (LOL...childish I know but...MF Pete ) Hoping to lay down some of the ground work at some point this weekend..One of those D9R kits is sitting on my table at the moment....you know what that means!!

[armorguy]

Appearantly you manage to focus on more than one project !

I love every single part of this model, it looks like a puppie tank ! Colors and camo scheme look very interesting too. I think I have practically the same in my stash...with an open turret I believe.

T, rock on mate !

[tonylee-Rest In Peace]

Who would have thought such a cute thing such as this could be a KILLER

Dandy job "T"

They did do some prototype work on an open turret version armed with a 50mm. I don't think it ever got into full production. It would be a great companion piece for this one in a scene.

[armorguy]

Thanks for the info Bob ! I'll let you guys know when I start. Now the mojo for that one's there !

[tobias5555]

I really like what you done with this Little tank.

[wouter]

pffff, this forum is growing way to large for me, I can't keep up with all the great stuff!!!! :/, And this sure is great stuff there T!!!

Cheers

[TRM]

Thanks G!! Managing....almost...LOL!! Have at the little guy in your stash!! sounds like a fun build!!

Uncle T - Thank you very much, you're a kindhearted fella!!

Tobias - Thanks a bunch Sir!!

Wouts - I hear you brotha'!! I still have trouble keeping up around here!! LOL~~ Thanks BTW...glad you found the bread crumb trail I left!!

[TRM]

Well, not much on this yet....I decided a small upgrade on the base; a slightly bigger one is all. I have it primed but no gloss black! I will pick some up at work tomorrow!!

I was thinking about the fig(s) a little more though.....Maybe???



Thanks for tuning in!!

[wbill76]

They look awfully relaxed for being headless...otherwise, nice!

[TRM]

LOL...it was that fast of a decapitation they didn't have time to tense up Bill!! Thanks for the feedback ...I might be able to make this work!
