Right on JR. Will be watching the progress. I got so excited I've decided to do a soft skin build of a Bussing 900.

Ruskie FT-17, nice odd one John :thumb2: .

The rivets will be a weathers dream to use in a beat up scene:smiling:.

Pretty neat that black glue, absolutely very handy in seeing ones spots for improvement, we all need that from time till time:rolling:.
Your right thereFernando , thanks, Steve would love this for pinwashes. I didn't youse it for those tracks,they would have looke like black webbed feet or a caterpillar !

Hi Si, us old ones have plenty of time in between cooking and gardening !
John .
Thanks guys .
 
Yes, but without the pyrotechnics. Never seen that pic before. Where ever did you find it? Cheers, Rick H.
 
Hi John

Thought it was about time I checked out some of your work afer the warm welcome. I have to congratulate you on your perseverance. It looks like a pretty horrendous build.... I think I would have given up by now.

I've not come across black adhesive before. If I understood one of your posts it's designed to help you see where you've not glued? Is that correct? How aggressive is compared to say Tamiya Extra thin?

Don't encourage him Rick.! He will invite you around for a slide show on all the things he's burnt, burning and going to burn LOL

Andrew the idea was let you see the glue line, in my case its how much I splash about .:disappointed: It does grab but not as quickly as TXT,Iv'e managed to remove parts after 10 minutes so may be less aggressive than TET.

:tongue-out3:Thank you my dear friend, that is most uncalled for I've hardly set fire to many things, its just spontaneous combustion.:smiling3::smiling3::smiling3::smiling3::blow-kiss:
 
Hi John
What a nice looking little tankette. Look forward to the camo - really stupid brave of you :tongue-out3: I like that Revell Contacta glue, very useful when you need a bit of wiggle time.
Am I alone in thinking the turret looks like a Dalek :rolling:

John,
Apologies mate I have only just found this and you have nearly finished it. That's a great result so far. Hats off to you for taking on these less than perfect kits.

Thanks Jim , Ha .:smiling2: Rick thought it looked like R2D2, Can see the resemblance to a Dalek . I agree with you about the Contactor glue. I don't think I could build a track now with out it.
Oh as for the camo it might keep a certain member happy !!!

Made 3 wire handles, glued on , painted with MRHobby Metal primer then when dry some Amig primer.
Going to leave over night to dry as I want to spray a coat of chipping fluid on in the afternoon.Then a top coat of good old 4BO .Can't leave it too long before the chipping other wise it goes too hard and is nearly impossible to do the chipping.

Hi Pete. Thank you. Great to see you on the forum again. Take it easy please and do as Siobhan says ! :smiling2:.
John.
Hi John will do, still in hospital but a lot better place than yesterday, Siobhan is probably ten times stricter than matron so will do as I'm told for a while :thinking:, a short while.
Pete.
 
Looks good JR. It appears that you will survive this event. Have you given any thought as to what you will do next or are you still looking for the matches to your flamethrower?? Glad to see Pete is back with us, I'm sure his missus is keeping a close eye on him so no larking about. Cheers, Rick H.

Do the chipping, did it rather too early, but pleased.
Only a couple of bits fell off:tongue-out3:, some track and the front suspension arm .
See photo, using a tarp to hold up the track while it dries.:hungry: Other section of track is glued and drying .

Then the chipping fluid was sprayed, once the brown was dry, then after the chipping was applied the green 4 BO
