Pete

Looking very nice start. Out of interest what is that multi-holed block I keep seeing?

Andrew

Thank you Andrew, the steel blocks are called 123 precision engineering blocks when I'm assembling/gluing I use a steel blocks and magnets on a steel plate to hold everything square.

Hi Pete.
Coming on in leaps and bounds at this rate you'll be finished before the StuGmister can find his seat.

Cheers John it's getting there, that's the plan otherwise I'll have to take up crochet change my name to Shirley and move out of the country.

Nice Work Pete.

Cheers Ian, I'm just pleased I can almost glue two pieces of plastic together after what's happened recently, but there's still time for me to mess it up :tongue-out3:.

Hi Peter
Great progress, looking good. The Winter War and the Finnish role in WW2 is a fascinating piece of history.

Very clean progress. Once painted I think they'll blend in OK. Thanx for sharing research. PaulE

Well I hope you did you're not getting the prize Mr Stug's, not with a extra long starting handle with about 10 universal joints in it :tears-of-joy::tears-of-joy:. I shall rectified it, cheers for the link I was looking at their tank museum looks very good.
Probably post some pictures of the stuff they got there.

Pete

 

[Mr Bowcat]

I'm glad you're building this now Pete, as you know I'm doing this one for Bob's GB so will watch your build for tips.

How did you get on with the magic tracks? Better/worse than Friul?
