Thanks Jeff,working on the upper hull at the mo.Will post some pics later .Now get back to work on your build.

Very nice initial round Leon! My secret to avoiding modeler's thumb (the death of a thousand cuts) is to use one of those rubber finger grips that people who work with paper forms all the time use. Slit the base so it will fit (since I'm not using it on a finger!) and then slip it on over my thumb while trimming/cleaning up parts and it does the trick nicely. They are very durable and are dirt cheap, pick up a box of them at Office Depot or similar and it will change your life.

[Leon]

Morning guys,just finished the upper hull and dry fit.Looking good so far.On to the turret now.









Thanks for looking

[Leon]

Thanks Dicky,glad to have you along.

BTW-DID I HEAR YOU MENTION HOW MUCH YOU LIKE TRUMPY!!!!!

[Leon]

Bill,thanks for the suggestion.Never even thought about those.

[bullardino]

Leon, are you trying to beat Dicky in speed?

Great update, mate

[paulh.]

hi Leon, I started one of these about 12 monmths ago - but it all went horribly pear-shapped and it got deep-sixed! A replacement (from evil-bay) arrived on Friday -so this is an incentive to get on with it.
how did you find the hull top? Personally I found it VERY flexible and considered using some stiffeners. But outside of that a very simple and straight-forward build- as you have seen, just sorry I never managed to finish it the first-time around.

Wow!!! Can't believe I missed this one Leon - CeeBee will tell yer this has long been on my wishlist but although the kit is available online I never seem to see it at the shows.....it's a 'lovely' lookin' MBT and yes it shows design styling from the CR's and the Leo2's (much like the Ariete)

Yer've made a great start Leon - nice job...I'm in now!

Can I safely assume you were gonna do one of yer cutaways on this beggar?

[robbo]

Your not holding back on this eh? I was thinking it kind of reminds me of a Centurion with a modern twist, don't you think?

[pantherf..-Email Not Valid]

Wow... what an angle on that front glacis!

What is that?  About 10%? 



Okay, NOW we need more pics!

Safe to say I AM NOT him... LOL

Holy smokes, you are rolling with this one. Looking good!

[Leon]

Andy,thanks buddy.This is going way faster than i planed .Guess i'm going to have to buy another kit or order the Zvezda T90 and get started in the GB.

[bullardino]

If you want, Trumpy's T-90 is available on evlibay...

Great job on this one

[paulh.]

Excellent job there Leon.
Have you decided on a colour-scheme for this yet?
There are a few very interesting pics of Brazillian army cam-schemmes on Google if you don't fancy the box-top sand brown.

Looking forward either way to see the paint go on this.

[imatanker]

Huh? What? Excuse Me? The build is done? Holy speed build. I was wondering where all my Wee Workers had gone. Now I know  Lookin' pretty smooth Leon.

[Leon]

Paul,you thank for the kind words .As for the color scheme,i'm thinking about a camo scheme but not sure which one yet.

Jeff,much appreciated buddy .I'll be sending the wee workers back to you today.

[Leon]

Luigi,thank you.Much appreciated.

[TRM]

Leon...I only seen two days of building??? You're done construction? On fire bud!! Looks like a nice build at that!!Rolling right into some paint!!

[Leon]

Todd,this was a fast build.There wasn't a lot of parts to this kit.Plan to get some primer on this when i get home from work and then decide on a color scheme.

[deafpanzer]

OK Dicky, you got picture of the character the Slug? Doubt it...
