I don't know why but I just fancied a big tank kit so I better do a good job as my history with tank's is not good but I have already assembled some wheels and had a go at some weathering so please let me know how i done.
The first pic is the non weathered wheels.

Well done for taking such a big beast on. Wouldn't even know where to start.....

Good luck with the build.

Time to make all them wheels but the bonus they come with separate rubber tyres

 

[Bortig the Viking]

Looks like that lot will be fun to build, quite big i think.

Nice weathering on the drive wheels and sprockets. If not all ready done you may want weather the inside of the sprocket and the backside of both the rear wheels and sprockets as these will be on view.



I have this zim photo that may be of help when getting the pattern right



Great work so far Pete. Keep it comin my friend

I have just spent most of afternoon making up the buck full of wheels and had a go at weathering the front and rear drive sockets I might have over done it a bit but comments welcome

 

[peterairfix]

Just spent a couple of hours making up the tracks not short of any links.

 

[Steve Jones]

Pete,
Great start mate.

 

[peterairfix]

Been wrestling with rear end all day and here's the result

 

[peterairfix]

I have started on the tank top which I painted and weathered although the camera makes it look a lot brighter and I have added weathering to the lower part of the Hull

 

[adt70hk]

That's a lot of progress Peter. Very well done indeed.

ATB.

[peterairfix]

Added some more details to the tank top.

 

[Guest]

Is the tank top the cloth thing in the background?
