Great work,nice job of the tracks, I enjoy doing tracks.

 

[Mr Bowcat]

Cheers Steve.

It's my first time with individual track links. After 40 my hands started to cramp so I will have to do them in stages. My plan is to do 10 every time I sit at the bench, so should be done fairly quickly.

[Mr Bowcat]

Cheers Polux.

More interior fitted and a bit more weathering.

I also decided I needed more light so built a frankenlamp.

Some people could pay a fortune for this lamp!!

 

[Mr Bowcat]

I'm open to offers.

 

[Guest]

Looking better all the time, nice lamp. X

 

[Mr Bowcat]

Last bit for tonight, added the last bits of plumbing and linkages to the gearbox.

Really like the engine area.

 

[Mr Bowcat]

Really like the engine area.

Agreed, shame most of it is going to be hidden when the tops on. I'm giving serious consideration to not permanently attaching the top so it can be removed to view the interior.

Nice work bob.

 

[Mr Bowcat]

Cheers gents.

I've taped the top on for now, still undecided on what to do as it does cover up practically everything I've done so far!

Mhmm...and a cutaway one...?

 

[Mr Bowcat]

I did consider a cutaway, but I think that's a bit advanced for me at this stage. Maybe in the future I will build another one and saw it up.

 

[Snowman]

I'm drooling over all that detail!! OMG!

Great stuff!!

 

[Mr Bowcat]

I've done sod all modelling the last few days, it's too hot.

So tonight I eased back in by making up some boxes of MRE's and H20.

[PaulTRose]

ooooo....they look familiar

looking good

 

[Mr Bowcat]

I'm still undecided about weather to fix the upper and lower together and realised that this was stopping me getting on with anything, so I just taped the two half's together for now and will decide later on.

So I can get on with building and painting the exterior I masked up the inside then made a start on some of the armour panels.
