A little update. Now I have some photos with some damages on A13. I've decided to make a little compilation of such damages to show some interesting constructive features of A13. It's a horn and front fenders. There is no horn in a kit I've made my variant. Much work ahead as always.

Impressive work as ever Artyom, the damaged track guard looks just like it has bumped into something.

 

[Neo]

Thank you,friends! I hope soon I will finish hull.

 

[Steve Jones]

Excellent detailing Neo. Hopefully you will start the turret soon

Hi,Steve! Thank you! I need to make some details on hull. I have some new information.

 

[Neo]

So this is final update of the hull. All hatches are installed,all works have been done. I have made a basket and added some stowage. Also on other side I made a storage of additional track links. You can see that I made tracks horn hollow. Very disappointed that Bronco didn't do that. But only a thought to make this conversion with all tracks makes my suffer and cry. I am not ready for that.
I future I will add some more stowage details.

Artyom

Every time I look at your work I always have two feelings.

One is complete awe at the work and detail you add the kits. :thumb2::thumb2::surprised::surprised:

The second is to wonder at the futility of my modelling existence in comparison to yours.:cold-sweat:

Your builds are consistently quite simply some of the best work I ever see.

On another note I feel there are far to few Star wars figures appearing in modelling scenarios and dioramas so well done for including those!! :smiling5:

All the best.

Artyom, the hull looks superb with all the added detail, the metal track guards & stowage boxes look great as they are, be a shame to paint it!
Looking forward to the turret, if you can persuade Yoda to put it down!

 

[Neo]

Thank you,friends! I afraid I still have much work to do. I wonder my next model won't be like this. I have some interesting variants and will try to relax working with it. I think using some LEGO is really funny thing. My son is playing and we both love Star Wars. perhaps such collaboration will involve him in our hobby:relieved:

 

[Neo]

This is the final chapter. What is wrong with this turret? Almost everything. Turret is a single whole like it was casted for T-34. No armor plates at all. Nothing about their thickness.At first we should show these plates.Besides Bronco has not a good plastic to my mind .I have a problems to cut it or to make a strait lines. This plastic is very brittle. When you cut wrong way there are white traces staying on a model. Very hard to remove them. After that we should delete all rivets and nuts,they all wrong in wrong places. And app.30 per cent of them are missing on a model.That's very sad. But after all it was expectedly. And I am keep going.
Some WIP photos.
