Nice one Monica is she from Sweden and does her father drive a Volvo.
Sorry just a silly joke. Great work so far so watching this one

well Patrick I can say that this kik is just a dream fit wise and has nice detail,\ said:Ha-ha I've been thinking about doing another Russian tank & this is on my shortlist!
So welcome Olga, I'll be watching you grow
it real is a nice kit to work on,\ said:good pick Monica that is the same kit that I built and a pleasure it was -enjoy .
was thinking along these lines Alan,and its been some time since I have done one,so mmite take a bit the get the eyes back in to it,\ said:Looks good moni , a nice whitewash over olive green and some rust powders would make it look great
sounds like a good plan Richard,I will just leave it out side were the magpies are and that will give it a nice wash,:rolleyes:\ said:As far as I know Moni spray it with an olive rattle can and chuck some mud at it. That's what all the the other armour modellers do!!
think she would have a temper on her lol, :D\ said:A big bruiser...wouldn't want to go on a date with 'Olga'...o_O
well Jim I was heading more towards the linkable ones,\ said:Hope you go with the rubber band tracks, those sectional/ridged things are just awful. Track sag is very important with this particular vehicle, and there are ways to make the naughty snakes behave:eek:.....Jim
your right Patrick they are per-formed and look good in my eyes so far ,\ said:I think the link & length tracks come with pre-formed sag
well very nice to have you along Scott,hope i do a good job of her,\ said:Be keeping an eye on this one Monica.
Nice work so far.
Scott
nice claws and teeth hear Polux,just a big green beast,lol,\ said:Yep!! I don't see any predator there!!! Where is he hidding....? :D :D :D
Nice to see you building a tank.
this is the part that scary me ,\ said:Hope you go with the rubber band tracks, those sectional/ridged things are just awful. Track sag is very important with this particular vehicle, and there are ways to make the naughty snakes behave:eek:.....Jim
ta Gavin,just working out the rest ,is the hard part,:rolleyes:\ said:Where there is a will, there is a way...... very nicely done!
ta Jim,glad you do like it,so far is the easy part lol,\ said:Gets my approval looks just right, boy that sure makes life easy, "no wrasslin wit da python" ...............Jim
advice noted,ta Jim,will stick with the ones I have started\ said:Don't think mixing the two is wise, vinyl tracks are notorious for not accepting glue, I use a mixture of "Plastruct" and Testors plastic cement and never get consistent results having at times to re-do track sag. Once your committed to one or the other, stick with it............Jim
To me indy- tracks are the pits, very frustrating, you never end up getting it just right at the last joining point and if you have to clean each one:oops::oops::oops::oops::oops:\ said:advice noted,ta Jim,will stick with the ones I have started
the cats can have the serpent ones to play with lol,
bit unsure of how to tackle this one,but will have a fiddly about with them and see how i get on,:rolleyes:
I think that sounds like a good idea Patrick,as i have not done very mean individual links,or this type,so even it i just do over the drive & idler sprockets.,\ said:If I was you Moni, I'd add the individual links to the bottom track run at either end. Then while the glue is still taking hold ( about 10 minutes with Revell Contacta) bend them around the drive & idler sprockets.
Once the glue has fully cured, you can then add the upper track run & if there's any problems, it'll be covered by the front & rear mudguards.
Jim?? Jim??!!\ said:I think that sounds like a good idea Jim,as i have not done very mean individual links,or this type,so even it i just do over the drive & idler sprockets.,
I should still be able to have some movement in them ,and as you said will be cover by the guard,thks for the help, :D
Oh lov so sorry its the black and white pic ,I,m sos so sorry Patrick i will go hop in the corner lol, :D\ said:Jim?? Jim??!!
