Trade Federation Tank AMT/ERTL 1:32

Hello everyone i would like to start my new project. The model itself is very nicely made (if you look for old ones from AMT/ERTL), not a lot of parts so i will change few things. First i have decided to open access hatch on the top of gun tower, and change some of rails from plastic ones to new metal (made from paper clip).

It took my couple of days but its finally ready (not the whole model), final modification of tank, a cut off piece in lower part of hull, showing ammunition for 3 guns in front. The main shape is ready i just need now ammunition, and some little pieces to finish.

Hi Mate i did that also, for a AMT/ERTL quality was very good (not like Milenium Falcon and terrible Slave 1 - pictures coming soon, currently taking part in competition). Here are some pictures of stap:

did you not find the fit of the handle bars terrible? also getting the droid intot he right position was annoying.

Stap itself was alright, specially after Millenium Falcon where side pannels where to big, and i don't know why the provide only 3 landing gear sets instead of 5. Droid like you said mate was absolutely terrible i end up gluing everything together, all the joints after i build a " scafolding" to keep him in correct position. All together i really enjoyed that project.

Hello i think that for the first time i was able to do pre-shading properly. I don't have at the moment anything to make color base brighter so rest of painting will have to wait.
After winning some droids on e-bay i have decided to open driver or rather pilot hatch.
