I will replace all rams with alloy tubing, i think it will look more realistic.

So you couldn't wait to start it then eh John, .... mr impatience

Looks like a good start any way, those ally tubes do look better, all in all the model looks like a decent detail from the pictures.

I'm shuffling through my bit boxs from years back later this week, I'll see if there's any warhammer scale stuff in there that the boys left with me, if there is - and its any good - i'll post it to you ok.

 

[John Huggins]

What walk around???Ian M

on johns other thread Ian. I found a walk around of a delapidated m48 bridge layer.

 

[CDW]

there's a fair bit of detail on this eh John?

think spraying might be the better option so you don't lose any.

 

[John Huggins]

Me thinks so to.

this is looking really good John. I had a look at that walk around in detail and its complicated to say the least eh

 

[John Huggins]

Yep it is, the only thing i cant see is where it all connects to the tank, unless it's just next to the headlights !!!.
