Evening Si, very nice indeed, and the mitred join :thumb2:

Nice that you've left the engine hatch open, that detail is too good to shut away.

Cheers John,
Hope my humble attempt at mitred corners meets your approval. At the time I only had my JLC razor saw so cutting them was hard work!
I got a bigger one last weekend from the model railway shop for next time...


The turret hatch will be open and the front access plate can be lifted too. I’ve created a slight bank on the base so it tips the T-60 towards the viewer. The idea being you can look into the insides better.

Sorry, missed this one altogether until now just as it is finishing :rolling:

Not to worry Mr T, I try to look in everyday but I still miss loads of great work!

All looking great to me Si :smiling3:.

Hi Si
A nice model. Always good to have a figure and a base. Seems to "complete" things somehow.

WOW! Thats lovely Si. The figure really will make the scene some thing special. Nice work on the modulation. Certainly looking the DB's mate

[JR]

I "saw" this coming

[Si Benson]

Is this your coat John :smiling5:

[Si Benson]

At least I seem to of got the lack of camo past Mr Jones unnoticed :smiling5:

[JR]

Glad you liked that Si.:smiling4:
Even more impressed that you cut it by hand, I've not done that for a long long time !

[Guest]

Si,
Well done sir, a simple base compliments and does not take away the work you have put in on the model, again well done!
Cheers, Mike.

Evening all,

Barely getting much done recently, work is wearing me out and by the time I’m home I’m pooped! .

On the plus side, we have a new mechanic shadowing me that’s come fresh from the military....turns out he is ex R.E.M.E and commanded his own bulldog. Think he’s getting fed up with me asking questions about his former roll:nerd: but he’s a nice guy to work with. I’m teaching him the dark arts of EPS moulding machinery and the guy is like a sponge! So nice to work with a professional!

I digress, Anyway.....
After a quick lick of paint, ruski Chap number 1 didn’t cut the mustard so been assembling some more from the set. I’m liking the poses as they are going to be taking a rest.


I’ll get them all built and painted then decide where to set them on the base.
Again,Sorry for pants update hopefully more to show you next time :thinking:

[Guest]

Great work Si. Coming along very nicely.

[Steve Jones]

Great to see you back at the beach. Work is sadly a necessary evil. I take it you will be building a Bulldog next LOL

[Guest]

Work, come on, what does it take to say "Pick up that bag of spanners and follow me....."
Good to see you back on the bench again doing the important thing in life, until the wife tells you different.
Cheers, Mike.

Morning,

Hadn’t realised quite how long this one had been on the go......and really need to get the bench cleared and ready for up & coming group builds, so been making progress over the last week or so....I think.

The figures where painted, wasn’t happy so stripped them back and had another go. Added various bits of scenic greenery.

Took my little scene outside and took a few pictures this morning and this is where I’m at.....



The bit I like the most is being able to lift the turret to peak inside to see what’s inside


So that’s where we are. Still bits and bobs to twiddle and mess about with...hope to have it all done in the next few weeks.

Thanks for looking in:thumb2:

That looks really nice Si, those figures work really well.
