Hi all.

I think this the right place to post this.

If you haven't built one of these, this is what two weekends and 142 parts gets you!

I've included the un-started main plate for the second truck unit as a comparison. What I have done doesn't come close to completing the underside.

Will post some progress pics in a few weeks.

If anyone else has built one of these then any advice would be gratefully received.

Hi all.

A few update pics. Including the box art for John. :P

Pound coin is for a sense of scale. Still only one of the track units to show and still not complete!!

Scott, this is the same one as you've already built, any pointers? Apart from not to drop the smaller parts!! Done that a few times!!

Si, I will be putting a dio together not quite sure what yet.

Another update in a few weeks.

Hey all.

Can I get some feedback (good and bad) on the deck for the ammo store. I'm not sure about it?..... On the home stretch for this bit now. Think its taken around 35 hours to get this far. 30 of those hours have probably been spent crawling around on the floor trying to the little piece I've dropped, again!!!

Why is it the smallest, tiny little part is always the one to fall on the floor..... Grrrrrr!!!!! :mad: ;) :P :rolleyes:

beautiful work Fuma keep going this is a quality piece, I built this exact kit a while back and scratch built a vogel turntable for it. I will be watching with a great deal of interest.

Hi Fuma, I think the decking looks okay, you could add a slight wash to represent slight wear but I think it works well as it is.

Looking great so far.

Si:)

This is what 62 hrs can get you. Including time spent on the floor looking for the little bits that I keep dropping again and again and again!!!

Gents I keep looking at this and keep thinking there is something missing and I've got all these long tubey bits left in the box any ideas what they might be for?!!

Many thanks for the comments. Been a while since I posted last. Unfortunately work has been getting in the way, along with the news that I will be a grand father in June next year!!!! All a bit much to take in.:confused::confused:o_O:(

Long tubes ??? No idea whats they might be :) :)

This looks really good so far, looks like the ends in sight now!

Congrats for the good news, hope all goes well in June.
 
You got any clear, round bits in the box? If so they might be lenses to fit in the tubes to make a microscope to help you find all those bits.

CDW - many thanks.:cool:

Gern - I thought the tubes could be for a Vacuum to collect the parts!! Have ever considered changing your name to Yosarian? :P :)
