Cheers David, well I've built over 50 now so hopefully the enthusiasm doesn't run out just yet, just don't expect anything to clever.

WIP on the Wuritzer & Ark1
Glued all axle pins into the road wheels, cut out 8 white discs from white card added lightening slots and hex nuts to drive sprockets to hopefully improve lack of detail

WIP on the Ark 1 Churchill​

Major surgery in progress

Stage 1. cut off rear track guards

Stage 2. cut off side track guards

Stage 3. Cut off top track guards

Stage 4. Cut off material from the turret ring base

Mock up of side track guards on

As you can see the rear sprocket has to be repositioned by raising it by 7mm

A very big thank goes to Scottie for supplying the rubber band tracks

Pete,
Loving the conversions, it takes a lot of skill and faith to remove so much plastic.
