1/35 MINI-ART Ya - 12 SOVIET ARTILLERY TRACTOR. 35052

Fantastic amount of work excellent stuff the tractor is certainly looking the part the tarp turned out very nice ,next up though is for everybody to help you chill out take some deep breaths and put the individual link tracks to bed once and for all. I'm not that much of a eco warrior in fact far from it but the amount of timber your getting through then your going to to burn it and pollute the atmosphere were going to have to get your head around the links else matron is never going to sign the paper work. Keep it coming buddy looking forward to the next installment. Dave

I didn't mind the plaster dust & lath dirt as much as the horrible "rock wool" insulation behind it. Just getting near it would cause compulsive scratching of any exposed dermis. It seemed as though the itch was below the skin. Horrible stuff.

Wow.....no love here.....I'm wondering if perhaps you should both swear off tracked vehicles for awhile just to regain your civilities! :thinking: :thumb2:....I do know that JR has the perfect remedy for this dilemma.....Pyrotechnics....Matron suggested I use this term instead of (fire) the other as it is rather inflammatory and tends to get JR more than a little excited....I'm sure there will be much Glee when the time comes to ignite said diorama and watch it "burn"........

Rick its a good job were good mates. Of course its slowly building to the lighting of the match time, but much work to do. I find the only way to do a damaged building is to build it properly first. This is part of the modelling fun, getting it it right, then deciding how the damage would occur.

John,
I have just had a catch up, I hadn't realised it had been so long since I looked in. The building is looking excellent the details of the flooring are top notch. The plans are so precise I normally hold a guy up and cut the door a bit taller lol. Bring on the burn.

What ever works Paul, I do have a figure at hand to

Whats the old saying about breaking eggs to make an omelette :smiling3: I do wonder at times when sending off for timbers that a lot of them will go up in flames. After having a long talk with Matron she has agreed that the in pursuit of the correctness some times allowances have to be made.:nerd:

You what Paul even the thought of handling Rockwool insulation sheets makes me itch. I agree , great product but horrible to use.

The building is looking good & the door is rather good, as you would expect from a joiner!
I have had the fire extinguishers serviced......

Good to see you Joe, hope you and the family are all ok.
Oh the track bit, just one of the normal parts for me I'm afraid. :smiling3: Thank for the comments.

Hi with the weather being so good I've spent most of the days out side in the garden, but found some time to do a little modelling.

Been tidying up the tractor, fixing a few bits on and trying to make the tracks look better with some paint.



The drivers door fell off after attempting to glue it, so just left it as it is, some of the glue has managed to grab it so left it be.

Thanks for looking in, comments welcome.

Coming on nicely, almost a shame to take a match to it but it'll look good in the dio you got planned .

Hi Mark, thank you. Going to be careful with the burn, don't want any of the plastic to melt, just the wooden section, and only a part of it.
