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

In case anybody wonders why I use an aluminium strip? It's being metal that's critical - the glue that seeps through the links doesn't stick to the ally! I have tried oiled wood strip, but eventually track links are welded to the wood - rather annoying!

Quietly sneaking in the side entrance late John, try to ignore the sound of me snacking on popcorn....

I’m looking in as well from the doorway that rivet Jones left open … watching another fine build come together as well… Can’t get past everybody to grab a seat in the front…but I shall I will keep my eyes Peeled in case one of the chaps drop a biscuit or piece of cake… Paul…I’ll take you up on that Nespresso here in the states

Commander Race I’ll start pouring out the tea but far as the ramble you’re asking me to do a mission that is almost impossible.

I know Lee, but miracles can happen :smiling3::upside:

As long Rick you don't throw any donuts at Steve.

Welcome Ron, long time since I've seen you on here. Hope your well. Don't offer any to the front two rows please, we need to keep them calm.

Hi Joe, hope you and the family are all well. Take a seat in the 3 rd row next to Jim, well out of the Rabble.

Evening John,

Well it’s very pleasing to see you build this as it’s one I like the look of, wouldn’t mind grabbing one myself!

I see the rabble have amassed so I brought some lemon drizzle to keep them calm and rock cakes to chuck at the trouble makers :smiling5:

Great start on the engine…..look forward to seeing more :thumb2:

Thanks So, hope your all well. Yes the engine is a really fine section, you'd love the tracks, I'm not going to enjoy that part at all, in fact off to look for some Fruils !
Love to all .

Hi John
That engine is looking nice. A few wires and pipes and a good weathering with muck and oil and it will be perfect. As for tiny bits of PE :sad: I reckon they are only there to drive us demented. Maybe a Steve or a Mike would stand a chance of getting them fixed correctly but for most of us it is simply a waste of time!

tracks, I'm not going to enjoy that part at all, in fact off to look for some Fruils !

John,
give the plastic bits a try - just think of the cost of the Fruils!! It's not a long model, there aren't that many links per side.

Just think of assembling link & length tracks! - only the length parts are created by yourself!
Give it a try, there's nothing to lose!!
