Today I managed this, finished the window frames


Can't use them as no room for another building, anyway a good exercise they van go into stock.



Right I'm well aware of the festive roof, so before any members of the Rabble make any comment:tongue-out3: Mrs R kindly keeps old Christmas cards for note paper, as well as hording any likely looking object she comes across. As in this section of pipe.




Found some PE straps in the spares box glued them on and made a stove rain hat with some Pewter . This should please Simon :smiling3:

Enjoyed this a lot.
Had a look in the corrugated spares box and found 3 sheets ready treated, happy days indeed.

Thanks for looking in . C& C welcome

Cracking little building you`ve made yourself there John :thumb2: ,
The Tank looks suitably menacing trundling past such a picturesque scene.... gonna be good this!
Cheers,

Nice work there John.

Very nicely done. PaulE

John, I just saw the problem with your mantlet side fit...the part is suppose to slot into the inside of the cheek bulges.



Look at Jakkos reference...you've got it sticking out on the outside.



Intricate assemblies should be approached calmly, tested, dry fitted many times before gluing. I'm sure the same practise goes during work. :smiling2: Nothing to do with being a lefty but I can't help Andy from becoming a Yeti. :tears-of-joy: I like the way he said about everything is designed for the wrong handed people. :smiling6: I'm right handed and sometimes wished I was ambidextrous.

Cheers,
Richard

Thank you young man.:smiling:. Once I get the roof on and the stove in I'm moving in.

Very nicely done. PaulE

Richard, its a mk 32 Late Friday build.:smiling: I just could't fathom out instruction, some things are just beyond me :disappointed:, then get to the point were it just gets glued and covered with snow.

Nice progress John! :thumb2:

Thanks Steven.

Thanks Andy, I did first reply but when I went to page 8 it disappeared.

John,
This is all coming together very nicely. I can see another magic building on the way.

Hi John
Despite the problems this is coming on a treat. Always amazes me how Jakko finds reference photos. I posted a thread about ref photos a while ago and Jakko pointed me to some very useful search ideas. I'll bet if you asked if mice ever built their nests in King Tiger turrets he'd find a photo :tongue-out3:
Love your buildings. Making the window frames reminds me of how balsa aeroplanes are built onto a plan. That tip of putting PVA onto the base the help the Sculptamould stick is worth noting. I have some of that Sculptamould but yet to try it.
