    Challenger ARRV

    Update, Work has now started seriously. The open areas above the tracks have now been filled in with sheet plastic card and c/a'd into place. Not a lot of them will be seen once the running gear and side plates are in place. I have test fitted the beam over the engine deck to see if all is...

    Challenger ARRV

    Next build is the Challenger ARRV offering from Accurate Armour. For those that are not familiar, these are basically all resin kits/conversion models where you use a donor kit mainly for the lower hull/running gear. I believe the earlier models were in a grey/green resin and later went over to...

    T72B1

    Update. Been working on a base for the model, so started off with one I had in the shed I masked off the base to protect the paint, it had already been pre-filled with Tetrion filler. I then added some DAS modelling clay to give me raised areas and to allow me to add the track indentations. I...

    T72B1

    Update. Forgot, I've got to paint the thing first..... The tracks are now painted and here are some pics of the process... After the base coat I then masked off the tread area ready for the bare metal areas.... Then I use some gun metal pigments to tone down the brightness as you can see on...

    T72B1

    Update. The construction side of the build is now complete, the turret was the last item to be finished... and is shown just before the primer was added. Now for some comments on the kit itself... Trumpeter are to be congratulated for all the work they have put into the research and moulding...

    T72B1

    Update. The hull is now complete and ready for primer... As you can see I just had to get rid of the plastic flexible tube and replaced it with lead wire (solder). the front idler wheel and drive sprockets were added as these will not go on after the side skirts are in place. As it is now...

    T72B1

    Update. It has been a few days since I last posted, and what an eventfull few days it has been - But I am not going to bore you to death with the fact that I have now had my second jab and have the badge of honour to prove it, there have been no side effects, side effects, side effects. And now...

    T72B1

    Update, Today I succumbed to the dark side yet again, I know in the past I have been accused of living under their influence for far to long and it has affected my growth and mental faculties... In the kit there are three different mantlet/barrel covers, which are made from this soft rubber...

    Update, So not a lot done yesterday as we had the tv engineer call to install a new system, what a great lad, or to put it another way, SWMBO said is was like watching an old Norman Wisdom film - he just did not stand a chance... I told him how I wanted the cable to go and directed the...
