I cant see the pictures. Sorry, it must have been a PB problem... Phil, a needle file, some time, and quite a lot of patience Wouts, great to see you keep following mate John, I had some domestic tasks to accomplish (I changed the dining room window curtains, did some electric job, built a little base for the surround system and so on...) I hope to be able to prime them tomoz...

As far as I know, the AM set lacks in tridimensionality... Thanks a lot for the positive comment mate Stu, your wheels are way larger than mine, half the scale, four times the pain

Well, it's been quite a while since I posted something Bad news I had so little bench time during the last three weeks Good news I did something, unfortunately not much: Yes, I did all the wheels. I had to wipe away all the thread marks on the rubber as all the pics show that it took very little time to wipe it away. I hope to start painting the rims and the rubber soon. As always ACW... Those look really great Lui !

Thanks mate. I almost primed all the wheels, but I finished the rattlecan before priming the idler wheels. I hope I can get a new can today so I'll be able to start painting by friday

Thanks Leon Well, Carl, I hope there's no other task to accomplish this afternoon, so I'll have the time to grab one. I also need some nails (well, the ones you nail into wood) to scratch a better light guard. The one that comes with the kit is a little on the thick side...

And here you are some progress. Apart from cleaning 217 track links (I still have more than a half of them to do), I started to scratch the front lights guard: I hope to finish it tomorrow. As always, ACW

You know it's tough when cleaning-up track links drives you to scratch-build light-guards as an alternative! Nice to see things moving along Luigi.

Nice work on the light guard Luigi! Much better than the kit offering.

Thanks a lot Bill and John, I have to correct the right attachment point of the front rod, as it went below, but all in all I'm pleased enough with its appearance. The left part should be easier as it has only one rod and it's thinner.

Thanks a lot Mac, I really appreciate I corrected the stance of the rod and also corrected the shape of the legs to conform to the hull, now I can say that half of the job is done: Hope you all like it As always ACW
