Luckily Paul I eventually found the correct box :thumb2: the track units dried overnight to leave them nice and solid replaced the missing centre caps that I had knocked off then made some new hubs for the idler wheels - these replace the soft vinyl things that are supplied in the kit (a...- SimonT

SimonT - Yufan Model - Seal Support Team 75mm
Whilst looking for T34 parts I came across Julie and the Wabbit lurking in a box, untouched for quite some time Started cleaning up some of the, rather shoddy, filler work from last time - i guess i wasn't 100% focussed last time one of the spare rockets had been broken and the shaft lost so i...- SimonT

Mike - I rather enjoy reworking these old T34 based kits Richard - cheers Paul - I rather like John Wick. 3 does go a bit weird though John - agreed. The broken hubs are annoying but should be easy enough to fix - I made them before so can make them again Finished off the left track last...- SimonT

Thanks Bob - getting there John - no, don't think drinking it would be a good idea. I have re-used my solution to do the remaining links Ta Steve - as they dry out they turn a much paler brown colour, more like the various track primer paints assembled four links last night - took me half an...- SimonT

A welcomed break.
regarding access this is a WC62 (no winch) that I saw at a show a few years back judging by the paint wear on these two panels it looks like they probably use the corner of the wheel tray and then swing up on to that corner section of the rear bed Andy - is there an ammo box to go with the...- SimonT

morning all, spent three and a half hours shoving paint around on this last night unfortunately it is never going to be a masterpiece as my figure painting is not the best and the figure is a bit ropey as well to start with so, bar a bit of final tweaking, a coat of ultra matt and some...- SimonT

Thanks all with apologies to all the proper figure painters, the paint has started to fly base essentially done except for adding a dusting of pigments at the end blocked in some main colours on the figure - looks horrible and I doubt it will get any better as it progresses......- SimonT

Steven / Al - thanks both. Al,the circle isn't actually circular - the front ends of the bars over the cheek parts are pulled in towards the hull so it is more egg shaped The copper sheet is nice stuff and will no doubt feature on future builds added a few bits to the turret track bump...- SimonT

took a chisel to this one and made an attempt to carve in some creases and tidy the now solid green goop areas then it went into the paint department for priming one black building and base all a little ragged around the edges but I will give painting a go- SimonT
