Interested to see you have a go at figure altering. People like Neil and Richard make it look easy, which I'm sure it isn't, but it can make figures really look natural.

Hi Jim. Me too .
Yesterday finished the clean up of the tracks, nothing much just a quick drill to check holes were clear and removing a small nib on every one .
Going now to look at the figure parts .

Yesterday I was up to here with the build
The aerial was really well protected in the box after careful removal it went on.
I purposely used a bigger drill to make the holes in the turret.Too easy to damage the thin section aerial in attempting to fit .
Rear looks ok.
Then as I want to have the drivers hatch open while they stop to speak to the motorcycle crew I decided maybe they had some padding on the shield.
Might look a bit better when painted .
Off now to look at the selection on figures be fore I do the normal thing of buying more !
John.

Hi John
Apologies for being a tad late to the party.....struggling to find forum time even though the studies are over.
That does look like a challenging build you have on your hands. You could always try a 1/72 quick build one track kit with one piece tracks and running gear!
Keep up the good work.
