Great work Neo. The detailing work on this build is exceptional. The copper sheet stowage boxes and fenders are very well done.
Seeing this progress is a real treat.
Cheers

Thank you,Paul! Really pleasure to me that this topic is interesting.

I think it’s safe to say that if anyone here can do that, it’s you

And I did it but only for one side.

Nice work on the class Neo. Looks like your having a bit more fun with this build now??

A lot of fun. As you can see British engineers were very fun people Some their decisions are like nightmare for modeller.

 

[Jakko]

I have long thought that real tank designers sometimes say to themselves: “How can we make this more complicated so modellers will have a hard time with it?”

 

[Neo]

Unfortunately I have damaged model by bottle of water. Fortunately all tiny details are safe and only chassis crashed.
Need to be careful.

I’d say this is what we in Dutch call luck in an accident: yes, things got damaged, but luckily only the bits that are easy to repair and not the major work you did. Just some drilling to put pins into the axles should see this right, I think.

You do have me wondering whose phone number that is, though

Glad to see there was no major damage and all your hard work survived.

Yes, I was lucky. I will do that way. I think it won't be very difficult.

The phone number...ah yes,but she is too old

 

[Neo]

Good news! Chassis has been fixed by chrome wire. I was little frightened but the result is good. Nobody guess that something was damaged.
I also has started to work with tiny details. I know that I could do better all that little thing. I think I am little tired of this endless project so I need to finish it faster.

 

[Steve Jones]

Another outstanding update Neo. Do you have issues with keeping the small parts stuck on?? I'm forever knocking mine off before painting

 

[Neo]

Hello,Steve! I afraid I don't have such a problem. I have another. I lose many tiny details while using tweezers.
Next update. I afraid this is only 60% of front details

 

[scottie3158]

Neo,
Great skills what do you use for the really small rivet detail. My punches only go down to 0.5mm

Hi! I always use Masterclub nuts and rivets. But smallest one is 0,4mm in their stuff.

Thanks I will look them up.

 

[Neo]

Thanks I will look them up.

This is really useful aftermarket.

 

[JR]

Wow, those catches and wingnuts, brass bins !

 

[Steve Jones]

Thanks I will look them up.

I used to get mine from Historex Paul. You might want to try there first
