discussion 1/35 KV-2 BUNKER BUSTER BY TRUMPETER

[Guest]

Gerry,
I have used the same technique especially on German armour where they can be hidden behind the road wheels.

It's a great idea Paul, but I would find it near impossible without Christine's help. I do ask her for help at times and she is great, perhaps I should ask here in future to do the tying.

Normal service will be resumed asap.

Now waiting for some more primer and some copper wire for handles. Weathers good so in the garden most of the time.:thumb2::thumb2::thumb2:

 

[Guest]

Update. Large slabbed area nearly finished being pressure washed , more seeds sown, so soon back to the bench :nerd:

 

[Guest]

Sudden return of cooler and dull skies has enabled me to return to the cave.
Not much done really, some copper handles made and fitted, and that mesh intake cover that managed to escape found making its way out of the door. Now glued for the third time !



Hope tomorrow I can get some more done.
John.

So JR......is this going to be the triple stacked hi-rise turret version or the more mundane single turret model? :tongue-out3: :tongue-out2::tongue-out:. Rick H.

 

[Lee Drennen]

John I was going to start planting here but we got a cold spell this week. I guess I’ll start some seeds in the house. Updates look good

 

[GerryW]

I've got to get the lawn mower out, fork over the garden at some point in the near future, and see how many onions have survived the winter (at the moment they're under a sheet of polythene to protect from frost).
Coming along nicely.

Up until a week ago everything here was under a "blanket" of snow :rolling: .....I suspect JR is still out mucking around in the garden......I'll drop in later. Rick H.

Thanks Lee. Best place to be for you and the seeds.

Hi Gerry , we've done the front lawn , not very big , on a hight cut .
Do you let any onion flower, and seed ?
They as a great way of growing on the follow year from the bulblets the flower head produces.

Hi JR........Bye JR........I think your "Man Cave" has a revolving door on it. I hope you come back and do some modeling soon. Rick H.

Looking good Dzohn. Always thought they stole the turret from some floaty project. PaulE

First time of onions for me - usually grow taters, beetroot, runner beans and rocket (plus flowers) - carrots and parsnips don't seem to do well at all here, last time we tried brassicas the butterflies loved them!

 

[Mini Me]

Know what you mean Paul, sort of looks like an uprooted pillbox that got dropped on a tank!

Hi John
Maybe not a lot to show but these details take up more time than you imagine. Glad you found the mesh :thumb2: The monster is looking good.

That's very true Paul, At first the design teams attempted to use a revived the T-100 hull and mounted a B-13 130 mm (5.12 in) navel designating it the SU -100Y. This version was halted as there was a shortage of of barrels and naval semi-armor piercing rounds, at a time when the Soviet Navy was beginning a massive expansion in order to create a more powerful, ocean-going fleet.

Thanks Jim, the handles did take time as I did them by hand, the jig that I thought would be the way produced a handle with a twist in the length. Apparently I should have heated up the wire first.

Now seem to find other jobs to do as last time I cleaned the model , washing in soapy water, and Isopol it still had grease marks. Must really just get on with it.:crying:
