      Simon. Been battling it for years the last two years my hands are getting worse that’s why I would like to try to wrap up all my 1/72 scale builds I want to get done and move to a bigger scale like 1/48

            Think I’m going to call it a day on this guy. I even up the bolts and added the small crane.

              Looks ok to me Lee, you can see what its supposed to be. I could never do Armour again in 1/72, just too small to handle .

                      Coming along Lee, I know what you mean about the old "A" thing, my middle knuckle on my left hand is so stove up I can't make a decent fist anymore. Will there be a Cammo. paint job on this one?

                        Rick. Thanks for stopping by and the complement. Just this past year my fingers are starting to go crooked and more pain in them. I want to try to build as many 1/72 stuff I can. I’m going with the solid khaki color with a light weathered look. I’ll post more pics tomorrow it’s almost done

                          I thought I would give this a light weathered look and weather the tracks. I’ve got a few more little things to put on and I’m calling this done

                            Well done Lee. You did a fine job with the conversion. Nice to see you are well under way with the weathering. Wonderful work all round

                              Steve. Thanks for the complement it’s very encouraging and I need a lot of it on this build. I’ll be putting the skirts on and some other details soon. Thanks for stopping by

                                Lee that weathering just sets it off perfectly, beautifully done and very realistic.:thumb2::thumb2::thumb2: looking fwd to the final bits.
