        So this is final update of the hull. All hatches are installed,all works have been done. I have made a basket and added some stowage. Also on other side I made a storage of additional track links. You can see that I made tracks horn hollow. Very disappointed that Bronco didn't do that. But only a thought to make this conversion with all tracks makes my suffer and cry. I am not ready for that.
        I future I will add some more stowage details.

          Artyom

          Every time I look at your work I always have two feelings.

          One is complete awe at the work and detail you add the kits. :thumb2::thumb2::surprised::surprised:

          The second is to wonder at the futility of my modelling existence in comparison to yours.:cold-sweat:

          Your builds are consistently quite simply some of the best work I ever see.

          On another note I feel there are far to few Star wars figures appearing in modelling scenarios and dioramas so well done for including those!! :smiling5:

          All the best.

          Andrew

            Artyom, the hull looks superb with all the added detail, the metal track guards & stowage boxes look great as they are, be a shame to paint it!
            Looking forward to the turret, if you can persuade Yoda to put it down!

              Thank you,friends! I afraid I still have much work to do. I wonder my next model won't be like this. I have some interesting variants and will try to relax working with it. I think using some LEGO is really funny thing. My son is playing and we both love Star Wars. perhaps such collaboration will involve him in our hobby:relieved:

                This is the final chapter. What is wrong with this turret? Almost everything. Turret is a single whole like it was casted for T-34. No armor plates at all. Nothing about their thickness.At first we should show these plates.Besides Bronco has not a good plastic to my mind .I have a problems to cut it or to make a strait lines. This plastic is very brittle. When you cut wrong way there are white traces staying on a model. Very hard to remove them. After that we should delete all rivets and nuts,they all wrong in wrong places. And app.30 per cent of them are missing on a model.That's very sad. But after all it was expectedly. And I am keep going.

                        Probably can't get any better modelling than this !
                        Detailing is faultless.

                                Greeting friends! The work hasn't been stopped. All that time I was working with turret. What can I say? All is wrong. Dimensions,proportions,details.... So I just try to find an average decision between accuracy and my abilities. As I have already written before, turret doesn't have armor plates at all. They didn't exist on a model. Therefore I need to show them. And there were a big question: should I grow the turret sides by Evergreen plastic or I just make a lines by knife. I chose second variant because turret won't look good on the hull and will be oversized. So that's why in some areas it will be less rivets in column or in line.
                                All in progress. Plastic is awful. It scratches by air. All the time after every movement I need to polish the surface. It makes me mad. Hinges are also wrong and too small. I made my variant. So.....to be continued.
                                And of course the smoke grenade launcher mount from Voyager is also totally wrong. They made it like rectangle.
