Rick,
All I can say is better you than me. You have advanced what is in some quarters just a toy and elevated it to a display model - well done. :thumb2::thumb2::thumb2::thumb2::thumb2:
Mike.

Shaping up beautifully. PaulE
Thank you all for your comments and support. Steven, it has built up better than I thought it would. Glad you like it. Paul, glad you dropped by. Your interest and comments mean a lot.
Steve, still some finish up work on the turret and more small detailing to do. I use Model Masters
enamel, so it will be their Russian Armor green with a cut of white mixed in for "scale effect".
Cheers, Rick H.

Thanks J.R., Burnt my little self more than once making those cables. But I did prove to myself that the towing eyes can be fabricated out of brass and actually look acceptable If one applies enough solder. This should appeal to you as it involves fire!:smiling5:
Cheers Mate and thanks for dropping by. Rick H.

Hi Rick - much better with added details, especially the tracks that now look like tracks
Pity they moulded the wheels as a big lump though without a groove between wheel halves - I wonder if they could be painted to look more wheel like :thinking:
Rust/steel bands front and back for the actual bits that contact the tracks and a darker band in the middle to give an artificial shadow for where there should be a groove maybe.....
Just a thought

Simon, glad you dropped by. I hadn't considered paint to create that illusion but I did try in the past to actually cut a slot in the top side of the road wheels...failed miserably and cost my self a set of tracks. The Co. I purchased them from has gotten a little better in that on their Panther tracks they at least let you install the outer road wheels which is a considerable plus. I think I'm going to try your suggestion on a future build and thank you for the suggestion and comments.
cheers, Rick H.

Excellent work especially at 1/87 :smiling2:.
