This is going to be my victim for this GB


It came in this box set the wife got me some time ago. I've already built the Lancaster and RAF emergency set

I'm glad my Tiger didn't have springs on the wheels! Nice start Ian.

 

[papa 695]

Thank you for putting this in the correct section Ian or Polux


Like I said earlier I can't get in to post in the building section

 

[Guest]

And to think Ian, those springs won't be visible on the completed model!

 

[Ian M]

Thank you for putting this in the correct section Ian or Polux
Like I said earlier I can't get in to post in the building section

Can you post in this now... A redundant question if ever there was one!!!

 

[papa 695]

Can you post in this now... A redundant question if ever there was one!!!

Once it's posted in the building section I can get into it from the recent posted column Ian

 

[Guest]

Great start, kudos for all the work on the wheels and springs

 

[papa 695]

Got this put together, now ready for the weathering and base

[papa 695]

Yes they do Monica. The tank was looking a little bare so I made some crew rolls out of Milliput

Milliput rolls at 1/72...awesome, i find it hard for 1/35. That base is looking top notch Ian mate. I really like the wall too, looks like it was a fun build.
