Great work Monica, very nice weathering and worn look to the parts you have assembled so far. Don't worry about the nodelling fever, there are far worse things to have and besides, someone has to produce completed models around here.

hi all well got some time to myself and made a little progress ,

gave it a bit off color high lite and some low,s that still need to be blended in o_O

added the chipping mostly were i wont it,pained inside the guards as i will not be able to once tracks are on

had to make up a jig to do the tracks so used a ruler and some bits of balsa 3x3 mm with a gape off 3mm which worked well ,see pic for how they had to go together :rolleyes:

then lefted the tracks set over night and just used warm water to be able to bend them around o_O

so one side done and one to go, hopefully get some time over the weekend to get it done,:rolleyes:

Just seen this Moni. Top work, great weathering and detailing. Funny how you can loose a few hours in modelling and you think you haven't done much.

[dubster72]

That's a pretty big base for one half-track Moni! Watch out that the model doesn't get 'lost' in the dio

 

[monica]

hi Steve, yes was thing the same i wont the bridge, to be longer than the half track so that point should be ok,

going to cut it down by 100ml in W/L so will be 540mm L x 440 mm W :rolleyes:

 

[monica]

well hears my weekend update got some time to work on it :eek:

finely got to finish off the tracks and painted and on run into a problem on one side,but can hide it

so i can move on and get it finshed as that was holding me up, :eek:

cut down the base as Patrick ,mentioned :rolleyes:

made a start on the base and the bridge

hope you all like it so far,
