Good luck

[Steve Jones]

Nice choice Lee. Are you sticking with the tracks or using AM ones??

 

[Lee Drennen]

Nice choice Lee. Are you sticking with the tracks or using AM ones??

At this scale I might stay with the kit ones I’m not good at building tracks in any scale another fear I’m going have to over come like the figures I’ve been doing

Nice one Lee and a great start at putting it together.:thumb2:
I’ve built this one many moons ago, so I’m curious how yours will end up.

 

[Lee Drennen]

Thanks Fernando it’s a oldie but that’s the kind I like. I have some more sanding and clean up to do before painting.The build on it seems to be going fast. I’m sure I’ll building a few more at this rate

 

[Steve Jones]

Well that went together quickly. Any issues?

 

[Jim R]

Hi Lee
You didn't hang around with this one. Looks to have gone together well. So often, with a bit of effort, these old kits make into nice models. Sometimes a bit clunky and with inaccuracies but so what. Bring on the paint.
Jim

 

[Lee Drennen]

Steve. The kit had no issues it was the builder had a little with the lower hull but I got it the best I could.

Jim. It’s a little chunky in some spots but with my arthritis in my hands I’m in no shape to trying to fix it. Your right so what I’m just having fun

[Steve Jones]

Well done Lee. I'm so glad you had a go. What technique did you use?

Hi Lee you have almost completed the build, very good indeed.
What are you going to do tomorrow :smiling5:
Keep up the good work.:thumb2:
Pete.

 

[Lee Drennen]

Ian. Thank you for stopping by and the complement

Steve. Thanks I just watered down some Acrylic White paint and started hand painting light coats evenly all over and thanks for the push of encouragement


Pete. Thanks for stopping by I will probably work on the lower hull

 

[Guest]

Lee.
Looks good, as Steve has said " Well done ". its always refreshing when something you try actually works.

John.
