ta Richard, Andrew, i will give it a shot, and see how i go,

only some times i cannot get sent down under for some reason,

That looks much better than the pre painted version I've seen , nice jobAre theses the same as the revell ST snap kits ?

These MPC/Ertl SNAP kits are not pre painted. They are just light grey. The Revell ones (from the ones I've seen) are pre painted. The fittings male/female, seem to be the same.

If you have troubles sending something down under Monica, I'm sure someone here could do that for you. I recently sent some car parts to a VW club member in Malta - he couldn't find a company willing to ship it!

hi Patrick, that is a very good idea, , thank you for saying it,

i did have problems with some company,in the US that would not send to Aust, as well,

So a brief little update as model time has been hard to find recently.

The drive engine is non existent on the model, [ATTACH]91188.IPB[/ATTACH]


so I scratch built one from some styrene and wire mesh I have (frying pan splash guard)

I decided to open/cut out the Command Viewports and then use a bit more styrene to make open Command Viewport shutters.

After looking over the model I felt that a few greebles here and there may add a bit more texture to the model, so with a few cut-off bits of styrene, I placed a few greebles here and there and place a thin armour skin in the side of the Command Section.

And that's it so far. May stick a few more greebles on here and there. Few sprays of paint etc.

So after a few weeks of no modelling time and a birthday party thrown to boot...I managed to get a little progress done. Just a bit of painting with the Iwata Neo that I purchased from SMS...ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh wow!!!!!

After using my cheapo Chinese AB, this Neo is soooooooo smooth.

Anyway, primed the model again, gave it a few panel pre-shading lines, and then a light coat of Vallejo Light Grey.[ATTACH]91937.IPB[/ATTACH]

looking forward to seeing more,

More weathering has taken place..it just needs a few washes here and there.

Must get started on the base soon.[ATTACH]92344.IPB[/ATTACH]

[Guest]

So...the Walker is now 99.9% finished. I just haven't start on the base.

I have all the bits, just need to start on it.

But the model itself is well worth spending a bit of time on.[ATTACH]92469.IPB[/ATTACH]

Very nice indeed I like this, I have been considering some of these kits as Iam getting a bit bored with armour.
