    All boxed in and I think the equipment boxes on the mud guards have to come off and get replaced with something a little more passable. Rick H.Click image for larger version

        Thanks Andrew.....Just trying to make 'em a little more presentable. This particular brand of model is lacking in so many areas, they just "beg" for upgrades! Rick H.

          Incredible work as always rick ,love the mantlets ( see , ive only just started my armour build and im getting all the lingo already :smiling5: ) . The barrels look brilliant and not an easy thing to do in this tiny scale . I think the hitch hikers are only huddling over the engine grilles to keep their arses warm :smiling5:. Keep up the amazing work .cheers tony

              Here's the latest.....test fitted screens, scratched up some equipment boxes made up some fuel vent lines (at least that's what they look like) made up some proper tailpipes.....oh, I roughed up the armor plate by applying liquid cement and lightly stippling it, then knocked it down with a sanding stick to create the slightly rough surface. while the glue was still wet I used a dental pick and created a weld bead where the cupola is welded to the side plate of the fighting compartment. and test fitted the guns and their mounts.

                  They suddenly don’t look like ancient models anymore

                      Totally missed this one Rick. Stunning work on such a small scale. Really enjoying watching them come together. Keep up the great work my friend

                            Thanks Jakko, the big let down on these models is the tracks....I don't have any replacement resin ones for this type of vehicle. Thank God for the "Rasputitsa" it will cover them nicely.
