            Apart from the tracks I am calling this done. If I am honest I am disappointed with this and I'm not saying this to get a response, I had something very different in my mind for how it would turn out. The kit tracks are the rubber variety and I'm not a fan of these. Given the fact I am not happy I'm not sure I want to spend money on after market ones. I will have a look at the price and ease of assembly before I decide.

            Before I put the pictures up, and I'm sorry there are a few. I would like to thank everyone for your great comments and support along the way.

            I will put one picture here the remainder in thesection. Finished

              Well, if I was to say I'm impressed I'd be awarded a PhD in Understatement - really nice mate!

                    Well you got there, and it was worth waiting for. No plaudits from me, you have had them all.
                    I agree the bar armour does look a bit Jarrow Ship Yard construction, but that is the restriction on plastic moulding.
                    Not happy with the tripod used for spraying, it should have been the finger in the crane hole and multiple arm positions.....
                    But overall I think JR will be in the committee room digging out the 'Dogs B........' award, and well deserved it will be.

                      It may not be something you’re really happy with, but I for one would love being able to build a model that looks like that

                        You are an incredibly good and patient model maker and it was a great inspiration to watch you.
                        Many people will not understand your doubts, but has there ever been a model maker who was completely satisfied with his work? I am definitely excited to see what tracks you decide to use and what the vehicle will look like overall.

                          Been there done that :tears-of-joy: :tears-of-joy: from now on If I can get it to fit it's the tripod every time. But given that I make a lot of stuff with chassis it may be difficult:tongue-out3:

                          Andreas, very kind words thank you. We all learn from each other on here, given the great modellers we have on here. And I think your right we are never happy with what we have done.

                                Ok Bro, you probably thought I fell asleep on you build and forgot about it. Nah, you know I love and always follow you builds, every step of the way. I've waited till everything clamed down to give you a hard time Paul...

                                First of all, have you decided on what the roadwheels will be wearing yet? I mean who posts a finished(?) build with no shoes on them...

                                And further more...Uhh, Uhh.........Okay, you nailed this puppy with all your typical finery and scratchy and the paint job is most excellent too! Love the magnetic side armor and the weathering is just right Buddy! Even the too thick (according to you) slat armor looks good in place. So what's not to like......Love it my friend and now let's get cracking on those tracks!!!

                                Prost
                                Allen
                                Life's to short to be a sheep...
