Allen's SU-152 "Zveroboy" (Beast Slayer) Trumpeter 1/35

[Guest]

I've built this as well Dude 1, a most delightful one to do.
Will be taking a seat on the front row, pushing Bob out if need be.:smiling3:

You raise an interesting point comrade..... What are the new Covid distancing rules on the forum now UK rules have relaxed?? :smiling5:

[Mini Me]

Rules?......what rules?? :tongue-out:

[Tim Marlow]

Nice to see the chassis is trouble free. It’s the same as my KV-7, but I don’t remember etch in mine LOL…nice work, by the way.

The only rules we seem to have is when Ian shout at us Andrew:smiling3:

[Jim R]

Hi Allen
I reckon I'm on the third row as this monster is a popular build. Looks a good kit. Nice start.

Nah Jim......it's not popular.....we just wanna be here when Allen actually finishes a build. Rick H.

Any bets on this Rick, though with all the time he now has he should managed it, just hope he doesn't add the rocket to the proceedings :smiling3:

[Mini Me]

I don't think he owns any paint :tongue-out2: you gotta paint it to finish it.....right?:thinking:

When JR puts his Whirly Bird hat back on the rules are back in mandate

Getting the wheels level is great - why do you think that I went the way I did :smiling5: :smiling5:

Afternoon All You Crazies,

With over 10,008 comedians out of work now, how did they all end up in my apartment??? You guys are killing me!!! I love ya all........

Don't worry Joe, there's plenty of room for you buddy, oh and Happy (belated) Birthday.......
Actually Andrew and Gerry, the road arms for the wheels are idiot proof. Lucky for me!!!.......
Dude 2, I remember yours and what a great job you did on it. I hope I can do the same......

Now let's talk about rules guys....We don't need no stinking rules at my place!!! My apartment is small, so that social distancing crap just doesn't cut it. Drink more beer and you'll stay healthy. I'm living proof of that.........

Thanks Jimbo, but the third row is the same distance as the first row from the table. You won't miss a thing Sir.....
Now Rick, I'll have you know that this project will get finished and you're right, I don't have any 4BO paint for it. The 55 gallon drum Dude 2 sent me is stuck in customs and I ain't paying €237,95 in duties to get it out.............Oh, and see the PS below..........
No Dude 2, the rockets are coming up after I finish this and Pete's dust queen GB........
Please Lee, let's hope JR (Dude 2) doesn't put that hat on his head never ever again.......

Now for Tim and anyone else building a Trumpeter kit with the KV chassis. WARNING, please note the following,


Unless you will paint the drive sprocket on the model, Don't glue parts WC5 and WC6 (mud scrapers) on the chassis. If you do, you can't get the drive sprocket on afterwards (trust me, I know). I will mask the area and glue 5 and 6 on after painting everything..................

So what have I been up to??? Can you say tracks boys and girls??? Now I know why I love Friul tracks so much!!! The Trumpy tracks are nice, but brutal to cut off the sprue and clean up,


The KV tracks have the 2 types shown with a guide horn on every second shoe and you get 12 sprues of 'em. This is 6 sprues worth (48 w/horrn+48 w/o horn) and about 9 hours of play invested. Sill got 6 sprues to do. Very time consuming and boring, but the links fit together really good so making the runs shouldn't be a prob at all. Shame I only have a set of Friuls for the T-34/85 and not this...............

Well, it's back to the track grind folks. Thanks for looking in and the hilarious commentary. All C, C and abuse welcome. Enjoy the weekend!

PS, Now just for my Buddy Rick........Lots of paint, but not a drop of 4BO in sight..........................

That's no puppy Allen! That's a fully grown pitbull with a spiky collar!

Hi Allen fashionably late as usual to watch this beast come together. I’m sat up in the gods, did you even know you had a balcony
