discussion Meet Olga,

[monica]

well lads no teeth or claws but she packs a big cannon,


I have wonted to do one of these for year,s and I got lucky and got a good one,


I have never done a trumpet kit before and this just went together like a dream,


so have the hull,and turret done and start the wheels,


but oh my the glue gets to you after a few hrs so rest time,


and anyway the walking dead on in 45 min,s


So anyway I have named her Olga,I think you should guess why,


well I hope your liking her so far,


plus its fun doing some think so different

[Guest]

Nice to see you doing something different, will it be driven by a predator.

 

[monica]

[Guest]

It definitely needs a crew Moni, just to show the scale of that enormous turret!

Nice choice Monica

 

[tanktrack]

good pick Monica that is the same kit that I built and a pleasure it was -enjoy .

As far as I know Moni spray it with an olive rattle can and chuck some mud at it. That's what all the the other armour modellers do!!

 

[Alan 45]

Looks good moni , a nice whitewash over olive green and some rust powders would make it look great

 

[Snowman]

There is absolutely nothing wrong with a bit of 'ol "evy metal"!!


You have my interest!

And Gee all these years I 've worked so hard on them! If only I knew

Hope you go with the rubber band tracks, those sectional/ridged things are just awful. Track sag is very important with this particular vehicle, and there are ways to make the naughty snakes behave.....Jim

A big bruiser...wouldn't want to go on a date with 'Olga'...

I think the link & length tracks come with pre-formed sag

Now That I look more closely at the photos I do believe I can see some sort of wave to them, never seen that before, almost takes all the fun out of battling the vinyl serpents, What next, prepainted, weathered, built?

Moni might still choose to use the vinyl tracks! Both are very detailed, although I'm always in favour of individual link ones - you'll have to look away Jim when I start my Bronco KV 85!

Have nothing against indy - tracks but I do hate to get bogged down with them, when I did my Pershing - 180 - or so links it might not have been so bad if I didn't have to meticulously clean each one or the damn things wouldn't fit together not fun for an arthritic old goat like me.............Jim

 

[Guest]

Be keeping an eye on this one Monica.


Nice work so far.
