Push Into Berlin, My GB Part Two

[Centurion3RTR]

It's the hull bottom, i didn't notice it was warp a little when i was putting the interior in. You're right Graham it is a tough one mate and i've been thinking about it all day, the engine is a beauty and would be a shame to hind it. I'll start on the turret tomorrow and have another think about it, i'm in no rush as the figures haven't turned up yet.

Have fun, John

Thats some wonderful progress you've got on the interior John. Nice solution too.

Thanks Adrian, sorry i've not got much done over the last few days, it's been a little busy. My daughter is off to university in Lincoln and i just havn't had time to do any work on it. But one thing have come out of all this, the car i have now has the nickname "Tetris". It's a Ford Focus Estate you see and with all the stuff she's taking with her my daughter said it'll be like playing Tetris. It's just a good job the Capri is of the road for winter because that would be called "Collapsed".

Have fun, John

I am about to start the other T34 with interior John, your build has inspired me and I could not believe how much you get in the box. I know that not all the hobbyBoss come with interiors, or even if any of the others do, but the mouldings look superb. I am going to set up my 'Under Construction' thread now. I am planning something a little different for this build, but not saying much as i don't know if I can pull it off yet.

Had a go at putting some casting on the turret with two pack thinners, but i tried it on some scrap which didn't look to bad. I worked in small areas as this thinners melts the plastic and just stippled with an old brush, the only reason i used two pack thinners is because i didn't have any Mr Surfacer. I put paint in the thinners too so you (and me) can see the cast.

Have fun, John

My daughter is now settled in at university and for the passed week or so i've been living in the car lol. Hopefuly i can get some work done this week by making a start on the tracks.

Interior looks pretty much the same through the T 34 series, it's good how much these Hobbyboss lads can cram in there... Looking good so far matey

Talkin' about cramming stuff in

The turret it together and looking good, was a pain to hold three or four parts but i got there in the end. Now it's looking like a tank, the gun breech is a model in it's self, just a shame it's inside the turret. Next on the hit list are the tracks, i'm still waiting for the figures but thats my fault, i havn't ordered them yet.

That looks excellent John, the turret interior is fabulous.

I'm using your progress as a spur to get me moving on my T-34!

Cheers
